If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

There is a cure for that. 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Nice teaser.
We have no idea of the plot; or the hero(s) or villain.
We have funny robot, a weird looking speeder, X-Wings and Tie Fighters, we have the Millennium Falcon and a cool looking lightsaber.
And you can have a Star Wars special DJ mix done by Tom Middleton.

The Force can't awaken. It already died 30 years ago and before the prequels because of unstoppable teddybears.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I can't find the reference now, but Star Was (the movies) is the live of Anakin told from the robot's point of view. As such the prequels make sense (I don't mention execution, however I enjoyed them as well), but anything that happens after Episode VI doesn't...
I don't know if they would even try to fit in this mood? Or it is not the point and just goes along "it will sell anyway" lines?

Um...it's owned by Disney now - which should answer your question.

I am a twitter with anticipation. I really am.
But...
You know it's going to have totally over-produced CGI that will distract you from the characters themselves.
Star Wars wasn't about the effects (though they were AWESOME at the time). It was about young Luke Skywalker. Let's hope the next three have an actual story. I don't even care if you can drive a truck through it. I will suspend disbelief and logic. But only to a point.
cheers

I hope not. Saw the trailer for Jurassic World and they totally went that route in some scenes. Makes it look worse when overdone.

There are hints and rumors that there will be less CGI than the previous trilogy has.
hints[^]:
"I think people are coming back around to [practical effects]. It feels like there is sort of that gravity pulling us back toward it. I think that more and more people are hitting kind of a critical mass in terms of the CG-driven action scene lending itself to a very specific type of action scene, where physics go out the window and it becomes so big so quick."
Lets hope.

Since it's disney, now, the good guys won't need light sabres or guns, any more.
They can just chase heavily armed soldiers around brandishing towels.
Looking forward to it not, I am.

My heater broke the other day. Of course. Winter coming. Heaters don't break in the Summer.
Anyway, the guy came and fixed it.
Anyone know anything about heat pumps? That's what I have here.
Used to be, it would kick on all at once - fan, indoor unit, outdoor unit - and run until the house met the magic temperature.
Now, however, when the kicking-on point is reached, the outside unit starts up, then the inside unit and they both run for at least 5 minutes until the fan kicks on and starts blowing the warmed air through the ductwork.
Which is "normal"? The used-to-be way of it working, or the current way?
The current way actually makes more sense...don't start blowing until it can blow warm air...but it never ever worked that way before (7 years worth of never ever, anyway, since that's when we moved in).

The way it used to be matches how mine operate (Nordic Inverter) but in extreme cold weather the outdoor unit is supposed to pre-start...I have never experienced this because we do not have what the Nordic countries would call extreme weather.
