Do you taste metal?

I used to have a cat who did this. He would lead me to the bathroom, jump into the tub, and then wait patiently until I turned on the bath faucet -- just a trickle!

I think everyone can relate to being anxious before a big experience! From your other comments, it sounded like you had a fantastic time overall. Thanks for sharing!

Was there anything unpleasant with the experience?

I was half-tempted to ask "cinnamon or caramel?"

Good idea for those who are covered by the GDPR. Doesn't help me, though.

Don't regret too much. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit's "delete" function was really just "move to the "suckers-wanted-to-delete-this" file.

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto.

I was kind of a space cadet, so I never learned the planets by mnemonic, just by remembering their names.

Now Pluto's been demoted (but not in my heart 💔), and I never actually need to refer to my list of planets anyway :\

I don't think you can blame it all on Obamacare. I vividly remember wondering "How TF do people with families afford this?!" when looking at the individual vs. family insurance at a job back in 2002. Premiums were skyrocketing then, and they've been skyrocketing ever since.

The same way they do on Earth. Up towards the outside, down towards the center. Of course, most of the elevator shafts would only go down partway.

But -- since we see artificial gravity in Star Wars, you could say that all the rooms in the Death Star are laid out as haphazardly as the toys in a kid's box. It wouldn't be the silliest thing in the franchise, after all.
