Rogue One had FX inserted versions of Tarkin and Leia, and Ep9 had existing footage of Carrie Fisher written in. It was pre GenAI, though, and more likely programmatically generated in the former case, and the latter was just pulled from the cutting room floor from Ep 7 and 8.
I hadn't heard that China might have pressured Disney about the democratization of heroism, but... I could see it. I agree TLJ felt like a bit of a downer -- especially coming from the abandoned Expanded Universe novels where Luke hadn't done the best job but at least had set a direction for Jedi to come back into the galaxy. I still don't love Rey's encounter with the dark side.
But the disruption of every story beat, the possibility of being a hero because YOU choose to step forward, that was a great twist. The broom scene should have set the direction of the terribly named Episode 9...
Maybe I'll slip Rogue One in and drop Episode 9. Still 9 movies, and only really regret the first one.
In this house, we like Coach Campbell so much we argue whether we should refer to her by favoured nickname "Soupy" or the more respectful Coach Campbell. We didn't like how little Lambert seemed to engage her, so we'll continue to cheer her on wherever she lands.
You could get married on the bridge of the Enterprise D! By a Starfleet Officer (generic in dress whites) or an alien (Ferengi, Klingon). The cast members were all union SAG/AFTRA members.
Quarks was incredibly overpriced and simultaneously totally worth it.
However, it was definitely written to ensure existing doc files could be fully supported, so a lot of the format is "bit 7: if enabled, use Word for Mac 5.0 layout engine." So... Documented, yes. Usable, no.
PDF, as mentioned, is very similar. The format is available, but no one really wants to implement ALL of it.
Shareholders want an ever-increasing return. Officers of a publicly traded company have legal responsibility to the shareholders, not "customers" or the public -- so the publicly traded studios have to make little line continually go up. Even making the same profit as last year is deemed a failure (or cause for bailout or purchase). So yeah, the people making decisions have zero tolerance for risk. =]
My partner and I have tried to explain this to our child. They just don't get it. I even got them the Carmen San Diego handheld game... But without a physical book, it doesn't feel the same anyway.
But we've made them listen to Rockapella. They make us listen to their music, we expand their horizons!
I have entirely too many domains at namesilo.com. Privacy is included for free in the majority of circumstances -- not for .org. .com renewals for me are down to $8.85 year because of the aforemented "too many." I also have some .social and other newer TLDs and those are stupidly expensive.
I use nothing else from namesilo. For domains I use I don't even use their nameservers. But for what I need, their UI is sometimes awful, but it does what I need.
Google.com and YouTube.com and goo.gl. OneDrive.com and office.com and PowerPoint.com. It's because as every company's footprint expands they've proliferated domains and they're not all subdomains of the obvious ones.
I wonder if it also overall lowers their costs, as they no longer have to pay for hundreds of .com registrations.
My partner's response on learning this factoid while we were in Japan: "I'm not short, I'm just a samurai!"
Discovery could be very entertaining.
I'm glad Brownie was there to help you!
And anything with the air system is confusing enough to me that I'd leave it to others, so good on you!
I already knew Aaronovitch and Zelazny, and now have two new authors! Thanks!

Judging my number of neurospicy friends, I might be somewhere on a spiciness spectrum -- but I don't know anyone who doesn't think trains are awesome!
I was surprised not to see this one, but it's about laying train tracks, so maybe it doesn't qualify: Driving the Last Spike by Genesis

Good for you! I'm on day 20 something and I think you've already surpassed me. =] What deck is that?

Shouldn't the first image be "Successfully scheduling?"
I actually need to pick up some basic Japanese and was looking for something like this! This is great, thank you!
docx is OOXML, Open Office XML.

Definitely able to pay for Warner Bros Discovery.
Forgot the goat-triggered Delay of Skiing.

It's so that you can approve .Google and only .Google .
