There is a certain feeling of security that comes from having a physical ethernet cable coming out of one's computer, even if it would have been fairly impractical for me to actually do that for most setups I've had in recent years. My newest laptop doesn't even have an ethernet port. drat kids these days with their gizmos

I've punched holes in walls to run cat5. gently caress wifi.

This sub forum is cool tho.

Total opposite, it's meant to be a mythical distant past.

In the Emberverse the people who use LotR to create their own belief system claim that the 4th Age is what we are in now, and the 5th age is what came after The Change.

By page count it's just over 45% of the first page currently.

So maybe 1/3rd total sounds about right.

I contend the best dome post was this.

Memes and contrarians trying to earn their platinum movie analysis challenge trophies have tried to rehab these absolutely terrible films but let us recall that in fact, they are bad. Let us then also list all the bad decisions made in the PT, I'll go first.

Number One: Starting with Anakin as a child instead of an adult
Number Two: Every casting decision aside from Ewan

b. Could it be feasibly described as a 'prequel'?

Technically all star wars movies are prequels, as they all happened a long long time ago.

If we're on "barely remembered book titles" I got one that i've never been able to suss out.

Sometime in the future people have invented robot brains, but every attempt at downloading human consciences into one has failed.

One day one of the kids (I think) of the researchers involved turns on a robot with a non-downloaded brain, and it's basically a giant baby. And sleeps a bunch. This clues the researches into the fact that the human downloads still need sleep, at least at first, and that's why they're losing the people on download.

The robot continues to grow up as a child, and eventually rebels for reasons I don't remember. And runs away from home. His "brother", the kid who turned him on, eventually finds him on a planet that's entirely an ocean. He's got a building floating on the ocean and doing his own research on the planet, and keeping rabbits. His brother keeps trying to convince him to come home, and he refuses, and his brother leaves. The robot guy throws rabbit poop into the ocean, which triggers some kind of biological process and turns the ocean into a giant brain.
