  1. Is the clone wars Walker going this season or no?
  2. IMHO, it's kinda lame for them to redo a set like this. There's a whole world out there. Redoing, xwings and falcons makes sense, but this feels super uninspired
  3. So you're sweeping them at $45,? Or getting a better deal?
  4. That's awesome! How about the set name at least?
  5. Pretty sick opportunity to do a custom Batman bust on the cheap
  6. Basically an Amazon warehouse pre-order
  7. This Set Is My Joker Steamroller
  8. Other than awesome figures, I don't get this request. The room is so empty and non descript, I can't imagine wanting to build it UCS style. The visually interesting part is what's happening out the windows. Unless they let you build that in micro form,,,,,,,
  9. Finally got around to the UCS ISD with double points. Figured it will either get hit with a price increase OR will retire. Tried for years to find one with damaged box, but it never happened.
  10. I could see them explaining the down sizing his abilities in Obi Season 2. Maybe the emperor put limits on him? Also, nobody wanted to see Ep4 dueling skills again. What else were they supposed to do?
  11. If only there was a website that tracked lego prices over time. A brickfolio of sorts....
  12. So that dude got in at 400% over retail and stands to still make $100 profit per item. Not bad
  13. So can we all agree that we live in a world where it's impossible to know everything? If that's the case, why do people feel like they need to do their own research as opposed to trusting an expert in the field? What makes you think that you're more likely to discover in a weeks or months or years worth of independent research that you would be more qualified to make a decision than someone who went to school for a decade studying this one specific thing? Further why does everyone think that someone is out to get them? Why do we presume that someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes and hurt you? Where does the distrust come from? Where is the evidence that it has been happening? Why are people so happy to believe they are a victim waiting to happen, unless they arm themselves against the storm?
  14. It's never wrong to follow the money. And I have read up about this. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/21/facebook-posts/Fact-check-Hospitals-COVID-19-payments/ I've read several inquiries on this and it comes down to this, most hospitals cannot claim covid unless there is a positive test. But yes some can say, vivid probable. There is zero evidence this is happening, and if it did there would be massive lawsuits. Hospitals get more money depending on how much work they do on you, so yeah if you go on a ventilator Medicare pays them 3x than if you dont. I've talked to to doctor friends about this. Absolutely no one who isn't a psychopath would put a patient on a ventilator if they didn't need to. it's incredibly painful and can have a long term impacts. They are a last line of defense to save lives it's not something they tack on to your bill at the auto dealership. So are hospitals getting paid more to treat covid,,,yes. And that's cause they have to dress up like astronauts to treat you. They have to quarantine and quarter off entire units. But they're not faking covid diagnoses. That would be insane, and it would come out. They would get caught. There would be massive consequences. On the whole every article says were likely under reporting not over reporting. The overall deaths number in the US is waaaaay up. waaaay up. That cannot be faked.
  15. For the record, the quote you're attributing to me was NOT me. spacefan said that, not me. I believe the exact opposite, and agree with you.
  16. Children are not eligible.
  17. I tried to find an article of a reputable epidemiologist who does not think everyone should take the vaccine and I found one from UNC Chapel Hill the article title says the vaccine is not a silver bullet. The funny thing is when you read the article the reason she thinks it's not a silver bullet in the United States specifically is people don't believe in vaccines. "Vaccinations are not the silver bullet for the United States. They may be for other countries, but not here because a significant portion of our population either don’t believe in vaccines or don’t trust them and want to wait for more evidence that they work and are safe. " So even the most negative article I could find about taking the vaccine says the vaccine isnt a sure thing because people refuse to take them. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/benjaminkomlos/2020/12/14/why-this-epidemiologist-says-the-vaccine-is-not-a-silver-bullet-for-the-us/amp/
  18. Normally if someone disagrees with me I'm happy to let them do so. Especially if it's a matter of opinion. However this is not a matter of opinion. When it comes to public health, and airborne transmitted disease, your hesitancy directly impacts people around you. This isn't a wearing seatbelts thing this is a drunk driving thing. Please read this article . It directly addresses most of the misinformation concerns people repeat.. 1st the RNA cannot impact the nucleus of your DNA and it cannot be passed on to future generations. Also, RNA vaccines are not brand new. they have been in use before COVID. Additionally 0 steps were skipped in the trials for this medicine. they were done quickly but 0 steps were skipped. https://m.ufhealth.org/news/2021/unsure-about-covid-19-vaccine-uf-health-s-chief-epidemiologist-has-answers Epidemiologists OVERWHELMINGLY AGREE everyone who can, should get the shot. They have zero incentive to be wrong about that. There is no conspiracy to get everyone microchipped. We already did that to ourselves with our phones . If you care about people other than you not getting sick, get the shot. If you care about small businesses reopening, get the shot. If you want concerts and ballgames, get the shot. Please people, get the shot. I cant do another year like this.
  19. It's not mob mentality to listen to epidemiologists about taking a vaccine. It's not political. It's about drowning out the virus before new variants emerge because people went with their gut, their preference, or their facebook research and we all end up locked down for another year. Listen to doctors, get the &*/$&# shot.
  20. Seuss was not banned, he simply was not. Fox tells us he was to get us all hot. What's next? Potato head gender disphoria? Is there no difference between Eva and Evan Longoria?
  21. I tend to fall on the side of show everything even the ugly so we can learn from it. but Seuss wasnt banned. He was not. That is an intentional misuse of the word to outrage people. Can we please stop spreading that false information?
  22. I cannot believe this is still available in the US. Is it still there in Europe?
  23. just quick math in my head I see around 1100 in there conservatively. Thats lots of work to make 425 before fees and taxes. For personal use? Great deal. For a picker, just so so. I see your hesitation.
