The bigger question is why does China have one time zone?

its just a political thing. the government decided to make it simple I guess. cause yea, they are even bigger than America. but they just all pretend it works. when I was over there, our guide told us about it and acted like it was a matter of pride for China that they are all unified in one time zone


Yeah it's dumb. If 1 man in Changchun and 1 man in Kashgar both set their alarm for 8 a.m., the man in Changchun will wake up to the sun high in the sky, while the man in Kashgar will wake up in darkness. Ideally the time zones would be set up every 15 degree increments on either side of 0 longitude (Greenwich). But that would be a problem in some places. Like half of Denver being in two time zones the Bay Area being split, and same with Osaka. But though shit is all I got to say.

The bigger question is why does China have one time zone? Also GMT is the standard 0 time zone and everything radiating out from there is plus or minus.

DJ is not inherently evil, he is only in it for the money. When captured he sold out for his freedom. But it's kind of dumb on the FO part to give him freedom and let him have a bunch of money. Unless it was a reward for the information. But then again the FO has been shown to be a punch of clowns and idiots.

Japan isn't at risk, artillery can't reach and missiles can be shot down easily. If Seoul wasn't so significant, NK would've been liberated decades ago.

Seoul wasn't shit until the late 80s. Fun fact, North Korea use to be a lot better off financially than South Korea until about the late 70s. It's GDP per capita was higher in the 60s and 70s and its money was worth more. But when Mao died and Kim Il-sung went on to make North Korea produce everything in the country the economy stagnated and never recovered. Couple that with the Soviet Union falling apart in 1991 the country went out of the butt, and into the fuck.

Also China and probably the Soviet Union would've jumped into that conflict had we tried to kick off another Korean War.

Because the shield was still up.

I meant after that obviously. The whole plan involved it being down.


I guess you could come up with some excuse about the gravitational fields of the planet or death star mess with that ability.

They never really explain how hyperspace works.


Star Wars is the kind of film you shouldn't think too much about the physics. Especially the space combat.

The success of the light speed ramming did make me wonder why nobody else ever did it though. Why didn't the rebel fleet at Endor just light speed ram the Death Star?


They should just start making small drone ships with hyperdrives. At that speed they could probably 1-shot Star Destroyers and making everything but fighters obsolete.


In all honesty fighter spaceships could just be heavily armed cubes since aerodynamics don't matter in space. But yeah, the series is still using WW2 tactics in a setting that doing so is really ineffective. They could just use really dense drones that travel at hyper speed to ram into large craft and it would be effective.

I'm a big fan of the "Poe and Finn should just blindly trust the leadership for no reason" subplot.


I like how basically half the movie wouldn't have happened had she just answered his question as to what the plan was instead of being a secretive bitch


It would've made more sense if each support ship once evacuated warp rammed another ship. I mean what? She was just going to ride the ship until fuel ran out and get blasted like the rest? If your going to play hero go out with a bang. "Sir, we're almost out of fuel what should we do?" "Evacuate, turn around and engage ramming speed."

The thing that gets me is how... inept both sides of this war seem to be. The rebels for apparently blowing a major victory, and the New Order I mean First Order for being inept as fuck. This going back to Force Awakens. The new movie felt like a long TV episode of Star Trek or something. The whole siege bits. Certainly doesn't get me hyped or even giving a shit about what they do from here.

Where at in AK are you at? I was up in Seattle a couple months ago on business. Wasn't sure how you could stand it up there.

Anchorage. By Alaska standards, Anchorage is mildish I think. Further north like in Fairbanks, it is worse. The worst would be Barrow where the horror movie 30 Days of Night took place . Up there I think it's in their month of 24 hour darkness right now. Down here it just sun sets at like 4 currently


I was hoping my brother in law was going to get stationed in Alaska. Because it would've gave me a excuse to drive fdrom Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay. Or at least until I crossed the arctic circle by 20 miles.
