I know very little about Honduras, but most places have various systems in place to prevent corruption.
Hahaha, yeah, honduras is more or less not one of those places.

Also whistleblowing of any sort is not something you really want to do if you're not in an otherwise incredibly good position... pretty much anywhere. Beyond it being both incredibly risky and often very much unappreciated, it's quite likely to just flat out not work and leave you in a worse position. Even when systems are in place, that doesn't mean they work. Not something you want to do without a great deal of forethought, planning, and especially support.

Well...

I just found out that TERRIBLE Starwars apprentice name "Starkiller"... Was apparently not a name the creators of that game made up...

George Lucas created that name.

and OHH MY GAWD! George Lucas made so many terrible names... and this is before he stopped caring about Starwars and did dumb stuff to it just for fun...

Before Charmed did it... he did "Darklighter"
Lucas's work contains exactly two naming conventions:
1. Luke Nounverber.
2. Random syllables.

You forgot his other naming convention...

Slightly altering actual words.

No idea if he actually came up with Yoda's name though.

I lost 10lbs over the weekend. Should I be worried?

Maybe a lil'.

... you do still have all your limbs, right?

More seriously, yeah, that's something you'll want to keep an eye on -- rapid weight loss can be indicative of something going wrong, and 10 lbs over two days is definitely rapid. It can also be other stuff, though -- different weighing scales, wearing something different when weighing, changes in hydration, etc. It's not necessarily a problem, but it could be. Just keep an eye on it, make sure it doesn't keep going down that fast.

That depends. What were you doing? And how long has it been since you've eaten? How long ago had you eaten before weighing yourself before? Shoes on or off?

Hmmm... Yoda... Yogi... Yep

As I said a lot of the names are just mutations of words.

I've been working out in a gym almost daily the whole month and eating less rice. I weigh myself every time I come back from a workout. My weight hovers around 1-2lbs below my standard weight. Now it's 10lbs below.

10 lbs in 2 days quite possibly can signify a massive amount of water loss / dehydration so be careful.

First check if your scales broke or got uncalibrated.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Not only did he come up with it, the only reason the main protagonist of Star Wars wasn't named "Luke Starkiller" is because the studio didn't like the name when they saw him introduce himself as Luke Starkiller to Princess Leia.

It was that far into development before he changed it to Skywalker.

Once again, everything good in the original trilogy is there in spite of Lucas, not because of him. The prequels were shit first and foremost because Lucas was too big a name by then and the people working on the film were afraid or unwilling to contradict him or shoot down his bad ideas.
