Q: Would Drow civilization eventually go extinct?

GridlockFirst it should be said I have only read a some of the Drizzt novels so my knowledge of Drow society and civilization is based only of that. But my question is this: Like the old Sith in Star Wars who eventually went extinct due to infighting, would the same thing eventually happen to the Drow be...

Q: How Do Jedi/Sith Stay In Shape?

MissouriSpartanDo Jedi/Sith use gyms or observe exercise regimens? Are there any examples in-universe (Legends or Canon) of common exercise being performed by either sect/group?

@fez Now I've been using the site a bit more this morning I think the previous fonts were better
Bold and italics look worse and I think text is lower than the centre line: if you look at tags, for example

> declined - already did it
strange reason to decline a flag, especially when it wasn’t done when I made the flag, or at most there was a few seconds gap

@TheLethalCarrot And precisely this is the problem. You need to include your platform information now because they made the entire text layout look different on every single machine. Because...I don't know, platform dependence is the new hot shit or so says GitHub, apparently.
 
12:40 PM
@TheLethalCarrot I agree. I didn't want to be the first one to complain about it, because I don't want to be the guy who complains about every change.
(Even though I probably have.)
Maybe it looks really nice on the designer's fancy high-quality monitors, but on this cheapo display they look faint and washed out. I'm either going to have to override the font or override the colour to something a bit stronger.
 
Greetings, Earthlings, Robots, et al.

Q: Why is Rex blond?

Sophie the Jedi Knightspoilers for the first episode of the Bad Batch A while back, I remember seeing a text post where someone was trying to make the argument that Rex was a modified clone like the Bad Batch. Some of their reasoning was spotty - the fact that Rex makes different military decisions and has different ...

@DavidW It is faint and washed out, I just compared the screenshot in the "did we lose a mod" meta to the current users/mods page and the difference is clear
 
3:42 PM
Nice catch, and yes, it is clear.
Whoever was commenting on the baseline being wonky is also correct, I was just typing an edit comment and the bottoms of the descenders were being cut off. (So "g" and "q" look pretty much the same.)

Q: Did Agnes move to Westview before or after the town was transformed?

FuzzyBootsWithin the show, WandaVision, Agnes shows up early on as a nosy neighbor who threatens the reveal of Wanda and Vision's true natures, but is otherwise a quirky ally. Episodes 7 and 8 reveal her true nature, namely that That's reasonable enough, except that what we're shown seems to indicate that...

 
@DavidW That's an old bug that they've reintroduced as well which makes it more annoying
 
Ah. I didn't know that.
 
@FuzzyBoots Congrats on the new baby :)

@DavidW I was sure I had a meta Q or A on it either here or main meta but can't find it now
 
@TheLethalCarrot Thank you.

Q: Female sword fighter offering herself to her opponent if he wins

fluctuating psychosisIn the early 1980s I read a fantasy short story in which a female fighter told the male protagonist that he could "have her" if he defeated her in a sword fight.
