or maybe it was a sudden rise in blood flow in his right arm leading to it stiffening.

Ugh, I hate random arm boners.

This kind of thing could actually be really beneficial for prosthetics. If we can make a robot that functions as close as possible to a human body at human size, then we can chunk it up to make prosthetics that work like your original limbs and are easy to adapt to.

Kanan shows the other side of what the Jedi should be, as a sort of knight errant who just does whatever needs doing and shares their wisdom with whoever will listen.

As VP, Vance would be on Air Force Two as a precaution.

IIRC, she said it was wish fulfillment on her part, with Hermione standing in for JKR and Ron being like someone JKR liked when she was younger.

You could definitely just drop an old GPU in just for PhysX. The driver still supports that. Wouldn't even need to be a good one. You could also go into driver settings and make the CPU run PhysX if you have enough cores.

I thought it was a matriarchal warrior society?

Epic also generated a lot of bad blood by scooping up Kickstarter projects and ordering the devs to cancel the Steam releases, releases that had already been paid for by backers. A bunch of potential customers refused to buy from Epic on principle after that.

They're just all related to Beedle.

If we're limited to just one, Musk. Trump's unlikely to live another ten years, and Vance doesn't have the money or popular support to be a threat without riding Trump's coattails.

Musk has global influence, at least another thirty years ahead of him, and enough money that very little short of death or being placed in a high security prison would hurt his efforts.

My parents tried to teach me how to use a manual transmission, but I simply could not get the timing down no matter how much I practiced.

The old cars were also designed in such a way that you had to understand how the thing was constructed and functioned in order to make it work. Nowadays, I only barely understand how shifting gears works mechanically and drive an automatic. Modern cars do much of the work for you, much like modern computers.
