So, Terry Bernadino?

No offence taken. You're right. And one of the few things the two parties cooperate on is working to insure it never changes.

Fix your deep psychological issues with shopping! It's the American way.

Although he was married briefly, and many years later his former wife was moved to state, peculiarly, that he was an “adequately excellent lover,” it is clear from all available evidence that sexuality, procreation, and the human body itself were among the things that scared him the most.

He was also frightened of invertebrates, marine life in general, temperatures below freezing, fat people, people of other races, race-mixing, slums, percussion instruments, caves, cellars, old age, great expanses of time, monumental architecture, non-Euclidean geometry, deserts, oceans, rats, dogs, the New England countryside, New York City, fungi and molds, viscous substances, medical experiments, dreams, brittle textures, gelatinous textures, the color gray, plant life of diverse sorts, memory lapses, old books, heredity, mists, gases, whistling, whispering—the things that did not frighten him would probably make a shorter list…. The things that did not scare him generally are absent from his work.

Enshittification, once again. Cory Doctorow's latest talk at DefCon about it was pretty good.

For sure they aren't. All those veggies are probably straight out of the cooler. A shame, cause there are so many ways to improve it. Just throw them all in a giardiniera and stick that in a wrap with some humus. Low effort and the ingredients would store for a while. Sigh.

Now I can't stop thinking how to make that burrito slap...

Cut the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil and salt, then roast at 400f for 35 or 40 minutes.

Cut the carrots into long slices and pickle them in vinegar and water with a little sugar and salt. Let rest for a day.

Slice the onions and low fry till carmelized.

Fry the broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms in a pan with some garlic and salt.

Wrap in a tortilla with some refried beans and season with hot pepper flakes.

And making heme is what they are proud of at impossible foods. https://impossiblefoods.com/heme

"Heme is what makes meat taste like meat. It’s an essential molecule found in every living plant and animal -- most abundantly in animals -- and something we’ve been eating and craving since the dawn of humanity. Here at Impossible Foods, our plant-based heme is made via fermentation of genetically engineered yeast, and safety-verified by America’s top food-safety experts and peer-reviewed academic journals. Watch more below."

It's well established in the Star Wars universe that all you need to create gravity is a floor. Take, for example, any scene from within any of the space ships. Gravity is never a problem.

Of course, a deep chasm also seems to create gravity, as seen in the first movie when Luke and Leia swing from one ramp to another to escape the stormtroopers chasing them.

Regardless, it's easy to see from the blueprints that the layout is stacked like your first image.

Edit: upon closer examination it turns out it's both. The plans show three 'concentric surface decks' that apparently work like your second image. So I guess the answer is 'it depends on where you are in the death star', and, I guess, which way 'down' is where you are.

Hmm. Do I need to take a shower yet, or can I go another day?

Maybe a relationship will just come to you and maybe it won't. A lot of the advice you get in these kind of threads is like 'just be yourself' or 'don't be desperate' or 'be comfortable on your own' or whatever. None of that ever worked for me. I was never able to just be myself or be on my own without feeling lonely and desperate and that made me seem weird and off-putting to potential partners. Honestly it took recognizing my mental issues, getting serious about finding a solution to them, and working on them for a while before I was able to act like a normal human around someone I was attracted to. In the end what worked for me was a combination of Buddhist meditation and some kind of therapy. But everyone is different. YMMV.

On the other hand maybe you are perfectly comfortable in yourself, are handsome and charming, and have no trouble talking with women, but you just met some women with issues of their own. If so, just try to get out more and meet more people. In that case it's a numbers game and eventually you'll find the right one.

Ok, I'll be that guy. Yes, the kid actually did win all these matches. Though it's not clear whether the old guys were masters, grandmasters, or just old.
