That's odd because interpretation how most people are explaining their enjoyment of The Last Jedi best BA-ZING Dash_Harber posted... Not only that, but you saying, "but he's not a loose cannon and no one can prove that!" doesn't change the fact that the opening scene demonstrated it, and him running his mouth off immediately after discovering the plan is exactly the reason the plan fails, so if anything, she should have kept him out of the loop longer. They also noted that a Star Destroyer would've likely wiped out a big part of their fleet anyway before they attacked it (which it later does when they're trying to escape) and this was gonna be possibly the only chance they got. Everyone knew what they signed up for. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |

Bet you own Astros for your gaming setup too huh lol No, I did a blind listen test with my Audio Technica headphones after I got my wireless adapter, both with myself and a friend. No real differences there. And if you own something like the Pixel 1 the headphone jack is typically worse sounding somehow lol https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1305-does-bluetooth-really-sound-worse/ But newer Bluetooth variants can allow more data to pass through, providing for sound that can be near CD-quality. Whats more, the decision between Bluetooth and wired or Wifi headphones is only one variable among many that can affect sound quality, audio experts say. Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.0 are the standard now, way better than what it was before. Throw in Wi-Fi audio in the mix and the only real excuse for wired headphones is not worrying about batteries or signal strength https://www.decibullz.com/blog/wireless-vs-wired-headphones/ Although Bluetooth is considered a primary factor in the sound quality of wireless headphones, it is important to remember the quality of the headphones themselves and the audio device being used may affect sound quality as well. Thus, using a first-rate audio device may improve your chances of getting the best sound quality, regardless of whether you use wired or wireless headphones. Many wireless headphones can replicate the audio quality of wired headphones. Lets not forget about the impact of Bluetooth-compressed audio, either. Early versions of wireless headphones focused on compressing audio, which resulted in a harsh, digital sound. Conversely, new wireless headphones are making improvements in this area, and an advanced audio distribution profile (A2DP) now enables wireless headphones to stream high-quality stereo audio via the SBC codec. Nah, you should be more worried about people listening to streaming music on anything less than "Highest" quality or 128 KBPS MP3s that people like to rip YouTube music with Don't fuck with me fellas this isn't my first time at the rodeo --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |

No, internal batteries are a design feature that enable companies to do more with the internals without sacrificing the form factor or features. Rather, maybe you should look into the lack of battery support by most Android phones and even Samsung. Apple offers battery replacements now for $30, which is roughly about the same amount as a new battery, tools to replace it, and the labor cost if you did it yourself. Even before they charged $80, which got you a new device in the case of non-iPhone related products. So no, planned obsolescence is bullshit. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |

We do, and all of them except Holdo and Leia were lost when the bridge was attacked. Poe was one of the new commanders afterwards by proxy. People looked up to him because they thought Holdo had no endgame. Even if you consider that Holdo was always totally in charge, he was the closest thing to a second in command whether she liked it or not. Notice Leia didn't scold him for the mutiny or his own plan, she just stopped him from delaying the transport ships from escaping. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |

| AvantgardeAClue 06/04/18 10:54:16 PM #104 | The Air Force has several chains of command. The Resistance had Leia, Holdo, and Poe. Big difference. The fact that they didn't reveal crucial information to ensure the success of the plan means that there is a disconnect between the chains of command, and it's ultimately Leia and Holdo's fault that they're down to a skeleton crew at the end of the movie not Poe's. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |

Honestly, the only stupid thing they did was not putting him on lock down. Except Poe is still one of the top resistance commanders judging by how many people supported his mutiny, and if there was ever a time to show military disciplinary action, it wasn't during a chase. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |

| Topic | There Is NO EXCUSE For Modern Phones To NOT Have A Headphone Jack |
| AvantgardeAClue 06/04/18 10:01:20 PM #13 | There are included adapters, wireless headphones which are perfectly capable for regular usage and typically more useful, and Bluetooth adapters for the car which cost $10-15 tops. I think tablets and computers still need headphone jacks because they're work tools, but phones without headphone jacks are totally fine, even if the developers have half-assed reasons why. Removable batteries were for a time when battery life was so shit that people needed multiple batteries. I had multiple batteries with my Galaxy S3 and it was not as convenient as people think. Fast and wireless charging make those batteries even less justifiable. Expandable storage is a bit more arguable, but most companies give 32-64 GB as standard and with a load of cloud and streaming services available you only need more storage if you're like me and prefer hoarding all your things for offline usage. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. |
