Well, that depends on how you group the statements.
Choose (a pile of bones) or (a corpse of a Medium or Small Humanoid) within range.
OR
Choose (a pile of bones) or (a corpse) of a Medium or Small Humanoid within range.
Though I suppose also:
Choose (a pile of bones) or (a corpse of a Medium or Small Humanoid within range).
Which would mean the bones version has unlimited range.
Yes, I am a programmer, why do you ask?

The way starfighter combat works is definitely WW2. There's some hand wavy explanations in-universe for why it works that way, but it clearly comes from WW2 fighter and bomber turret footage.
Politically, the empire is pretty clearly Nazi-coded, but I don't think Lucas ever had more than a surface level understanding of fascism.
I'd say sure. It's not like the wolf statblock is crazy different from regular skeleton stats; it wouldn't be game breaking or anything.
RAW on Animated Dead doesn't strictly limit the size of the creature when it's a pile of bones, but I think keeping it to small/medium creatures is reasonable.
If I was DM'ing, I might let you reanimate a pile of chicken bones, but you get a chicken skeleton with a chicken stat block.
There are other examples of possibilities than the USSR.
Western Europe gave up most of their colonial possessions after WW2. They ended up fine. Arguably better off, even.
Ancient Rome went through many periods of crisis and getting their shit back in order. The Eastern half of the Empire went on for about another 1000 years after the split--it lasted almost long enough to see Columbus get completely lost and stumble on some land. At one point, it held almost the whole territory of the original Roman empire, albeit briefly.
There are a million ways this can go. Liberal America could reassert itself more or less as it was. It could break into coalitions of loosely affiliated states kinda like Prussia. It could undergo great reforms and fix a lot of problems with its structure of government. I couldn't even guess which is more likely right now.
In aircraft and boats, the more maneuverable craft has the responsibility to evade. Since this flight was going to a small airport in North Dakota, I'm guessing it's a small commuter plane that's much smaller than a B-52.
Valens said on her stream that she was paid $30 an article; a contributor to the previous iteration of Waypoint, Nick Capozzoli, said rates used to be at least $300.
Holy shit.
I've dabbled a bit in writing tech articles. I was published in a print magazine >20 years ago, and I think I got around $300 for it. More recently, a few articles I did for a niche tech website went for $100 each.
$30/article? For a site that has Vice behind it? Yeah, pretty easy to walk away from that money.
I'd never trust a USB stick with my only copy of anything I care about. They get dropped, stepped on, accidentally dropped into vats of hydrofluoric acid, etc. Doesn't matter how long it can theoretically last if its USB jack gets bent and becomes detached from the PCB.
Cops have long made good money doing security work on the side. Nothing new about that.
What is new is making an Uber-style app to be a single point of hire, this bringing police into the "gig economy". I would care more if police hadn't already proved that they're willing weapons against the working class.
I was thinking more in the sense of an exercisism.
If a random band does play Freebird to those kind of requests, they'll often only play the first half with vocals. The second, more instrumental half is the Rock Band hard mode of hard mode.
