A fire extinguisher. I'm glad I've never had to use it so far...

This reminds me of the book Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge. In it, a company uses a mulcher to grind down all the books and shelves in a library, then uses scans of the scraps to reassemble the books in digital form for an AR version of the library.

Reason to remember the name

One of my cats periodically likes to stick his head through the window blinds at 2 in the morning to look outside. When he does that he makes these terrible choking noises, which causes me, if I'm awake to hear it, to run out and check on him. At that point, he'll pull his head out and look at me like I'm the idiot for being worried about him...

Apparently he's quite capable of doing so without prosthetics.

I thought trains were the most efficient way to ship goods, though I'll concede that trains are notoriously bad at crossing oceans.

Because sometimes you want to keep what's on the ground without leveling it?

A Sacagawea dollar coin.

The Veldt. Also, All Summer In A Day.

Absolutely, yes. There are a decent number of subreddits I enjoyed, but only as a lurker.

There were millions of planets in the Republic, and only about 10k Jedi at any one time. The vast majority of people would never have seen one. The vast majority of planets would probably go generations between having one visit. It is entirely believable that most wouldn't think that Jedi were real.

Cause only the good die young.

Sid Meier's Pirates! Specifically the remastered pc version from 2004.

Actually no! Lower numbered laws have priority over higher numbers, meaning that if they come into conflict the higher number law can be broken. While the first law says they can't allow humans to come to harm, the zeroth law basically says that if it's for the good of the species, they absolutely can kill or otherwise hurt individual humans.

Agreed. A sort of multireddit that combines similar communities is needed, though I don't know if that would be better served as something individual users make for themselves, or as an official combination made by multiple communities banding together.

I agree on the whole anthem/pledge thing, but flyovers do have at least some value in that they give pilots flight hours. Those planes would have to be in the air anyway for training, so they might as well use them for advertising via flyovers.

I'd think the association is more towards Macaroni art, the sort that little kids do with glue and dry pasta.

That can't happen, as Gamefreak owns a partial share of Pokemon, along with Nintendo.

Incorrect. DC, while not having senators or representatives, still has 3 electoral votes for president, due to the 23rd amendment.
