My the manufacturer of the new earbuds I bought just pushed a notification to my phone prompting me to try their "AI brainwaves for sleep."

I don't think I can express how much I will NOT be doing that.

No way in hell.
Not gonna happen.
No means no.
Don't come back.
Don't even look this way.
Seriously.
We don't want you here.

Don't tempt me, Frodo

I'd do it for free if I were going, haha

Turns out peacefully protesting didn't convince Emperor Palpatine or Darth Vader they were in the wrong. And you have to start throwing a few bombs or joining rebel alliances if you want real change.

How do I make a formal request to Pope Leo to send a bishop to a monastery for a few years of silence?

This has also struck me about Starship in particular.

Granted, I'm absolutely not an engineer. But while few test runs is one thing, it kinda feels like, at some point, the overall Starship design may just have some…fundamental issues?
