In the Radio Drama, Obi-Wan even says to Han Solo that he hasn’t touched money in a long time and has been making his way on his own for some time.

I take that to mean he has no official presence on tatooine.

Plus let’s be honest, rim worlds don’t exactly have good, robust governments that keep track of everyone. They made that clear early on. You can patrol the streets of major cities and their space ports, but without a major presence, the empire has no idea who lives where in the outer rim.

Plus “Skywalker” would definitely be a common name given how historically on earth a lot of last names correspond to trades and careers, so a “Skywalker” was descended from someone who got their name piloting, or generally being someone who spends a lot of time in space.

So combine all those together with the characters being on a planet that Darth Vader has every reason to hate and disregard, (he was a slave there, his mother died there and he feels responsible, and also… Sand…) the empire could comb the desert and not find shit.

When people get impatient and honk at me to move when I can only scoot a few feet, I hit the brakes and come to a full stop while traffic keeps inching. Maybe I’ll let another car in our lane,maybe not. Either way, we will both be leaving traffic at the same time whether I’m an inch away from the car ahead of me, or 30ft. If I can get out and walk faster than traffic, there’s no point in getting pissy over cars not squeezing in every inch they can.

People like my dad, who grew up in the 70s and early 80s, still jump at the mention of the dirty evil C word

Fuck, parts of my family have definitely been here longer than most current politician’s families, but apparently I’m a domestic terrorist.

I mean, I have an external hdd I keep a backup of important files on, and an ssd I use to transfer things onto a second computer, and it’s just a full backup of my primary pc.

I combine the two.

Burn offline drm free installers onto blank cds.

Well… Dvds, I can fit some older games into cds but they don’t have the same capacity.

I’ve been burning cds with my offline installers on every game I can. Finding blank cds in physical stores is hard, I lucked out finding this stack brand new at a thrift store.

I would very much like to have a desktop with cd racks filling the frame around it again.

I have freaked out several people because I stop mid-drive to carry turtles across the road.

Remember: take it to the side it’s moving toward or it will just cross again.

There was a bigger turnout for our hastily organized last minute pride in a rural red state town.

Steam box =/= normal gaming pc

My 5 year old pre built acer laptop is around the same price and specs, and only the cpu is better on the steam square.

Comparing the release of ps5 with current day stuff seems weird. Why not compare with the launch of valve? Or personal computers in general?

… People actually do app subscriptions? Not a meme, I’m actually asking because that sounds crazy to me.

It’s a sawyer, and both marketing materials and real world testing say otherwise. Personal experience also tells me my filter is keeping me healthy while my neighbors don’t even bother listening to boil advisories.

For drinking pure water, we use a brita tap filter, and a sawyer filter straw, and just have it gravity feed into a pitcher. The pitcher usually doesn’t last a full day.

For cooking, we just use the tap filter and a cheap gravity filter with a reservoir. No need to go all out when you’re boiling the water lol

The Sawyer filter can be cleaned by forcing distilled water through in reverse, it unclogs the straw/membrane filter, but it only works for so long. Luckily the sawyer still works like a charm after thousands of gallons.

Disclaimer: I have not been testing for bacteria or other contaminants, I just go by taste and swap filters when something tastes off. I have no proof this filters everything, but neighbors have gotten sick around times when boil advisories go out, when we’ve been healthy the whole time. Could just be coincidence.

I’ve been using a water filter to filter my tap water for years, because tap water tastes nasty.

WHO’S LAUGHING NOW, BITCHES! I mean, not me because things still suck, but at least I’m reasonably sure I won’t get a disease after my city reduced funding for water treatment.

… Ew. That’s a gross sentiment.

I mean… One single country being missing from a defensive pact shouldn’t cripple the defensive pact. So that’s how it always should have been.

Immigrants are both lazy slobs that mooch off society, AND taking all our jobs.

The enemy is both weak and strong.
