Well, the Death Star can destroy a planet, so I'm thinking they could take out a single cube.

Imagine the energy required to destroy a planet...

But if there's more than one cube, I'm guessing they're fucked.

But what happens if Vader were assimilated?

Bring out your ballista, or utilize your spy in the opponent king's court. You do have a few in there, right?

You just lack a Victorian sense of adventure! 🤣

(Yea, this is mid-20th century construction, but it has a Victorian vibe).

Random tidbit:

By the early 1950s the restaurant offered “extra thick man size” New York-cut steak for $4.50 and whole baby broiled lobster for $3.50

I know from the early 60's to mid-2000's, inflation is roughly 10x. So that's a steak for about $50 in today's money, and lobster for about $35. (Though inflation on those particular items may vary).

Lol.

You made me go read the article to find out more!

In 1957, the partners came up with the idea for a lift — customers had been asking for one for years — and hired Oakland’s Dwan Elevator Co. to install the red inclined “hillavator” that could carry six guests at a time 118 feet to the entrance.

So, yep, definitely an elevator. But even elevators use a counterweight, which in a Funicular is another car, and it's along an incline.

Hmm, so is there really a difference?

So a mix of the Matrix and They Live?

Nice goalpost move/strawman. Where did op mention "woke"?

Guess someone's living rent free in your head.

Plastics. That's likely the biggest impact most people are unaware of.

Thanks for the reminder of some great movies. Added them to my "need to get" list.

Standing by your bed while you're asleep and berating you isn't manipulative?

Nah, to needs to leave, now. No sense hanging around to see what this escalates to. Not worth putting in the effort for someone who's demonstrated they need to grow up.

Her standing by your bed and behaving like that is childish and she's demonstrating manipulative behaviour.
