  • My rear view mirror fell off awhile ago, thanks for reminding me I need to find some adhesive. Just seems counterintuitive to re-adhear it until after I get the growing crack out of the windshield. 18 wheeler threw a rock at me going down the interstate. Ugh.

    Need to put some money away to replace it, insurance didn’t want to help for less than the deductible.




  • I suppose if we will compare fantasy to reality to Wookiepedia we go

    "A nomadic culture,[14] Tusken clan groups consisted of 20 to 30 individuals, and were led by clan leaders, tribal chiefs,[7] and warlords.[8] Tuskens traveled in single file to hide the number of individuals in their party.[15] The culture of different tribes varied greatly, with some surviving by killing outsiders, while other tribes used more peaceful means.[7] "

    The description of his onslaught had over 2 dozen huts, where “I…I killed them. I killed them all. They’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children too. They’re like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals.”

    I would draw from that information that they had varied cultures, and he slaughtered one indiscriminately.

    Thus completely wiping out their tribes culture, and of course the individuals as well. I’m not sure how that wouldn’t fall under genocide.




  • So if someone said they intentionally murdered all of a tribe, you wouldn’t consider it genocide?

    Sand people is more of a word like Native Americans.

    So it would be like if he went and intentionally murdered all of the Cherokee because the actions of one/some Cherokee.

    Sure he didn’t hunt down the Seminoles afterwards, but the Cherokee have their own culture and beliefs.

    As for the Jedi… His orders were to kill everyone of a certain religion. He stated with the younglings and then spent over a decade hunting down anyone who escaped.





  • I made an entire syllabus for my high school using on mouse over effects and drop downs with course descriptions, prerequisites and mappings for all future courses/paths. That was around 2005 or 2006. I didnt bother with Dreamweaver because how frustrating it was. Wrote the entire thing by hand using notepad. I don’t even think I did it for a grade, it was just me being so sick of us not having a proper syllabus that you could access online. Just printed copies that would say you need to have this prerequisite, but it didn’t list what page that other course was on so you had to flip around all over to find it and then figure out what prerequisites were needed there. Got so frustrated I just made my own.

    When we were going to move into a new place a year later or so my girlfriend at the time and I were trying to figure out what furniture we wanted or how we would want to sutuate things to fit in our new place. We couldn’t visualize what each other were saying well and know if desks/dressers what not would fit where we wanted. Thus I opened my old web pages, took the blueprint map for the apartment and created a quick drag and drop web page where you could take each item with a name on it and drag it into rooms, place them all where we wanted and then she could play with it and see what didn’t fit side by side due to size, and screen shot what she liked/didn’t like. Having previous projects put together and being able to just copy previous scripts, probably took me 45 mins to throw together. Settled all issues of “that probably won’t fit” and let her play with it when I was at work.

    Overkill, possibly… but it was fun at the time (The syllabus took a long ass time, but that had intentions of the school being able to use it off their website to allow students/parents help plan their own futures)
