Spending the day working in a field, in a factory, etc you don’t do a lot of socializing.

Some of the DVD/Blu-ray versions of “GalaxyQuest” have the entire movie dubbed into the weird screeching alien language as a quirky bonus feature.

Lots of great answers already, but one interesting thing that seems to be like it would keep more mammals from evolving to fly:

extra weight of the young during gestation.

Egg-laying birds get to breed but don’t carry around that extra weight for nearly as long or as heavy. That’s got to be a huge evolutionary advantage, right?

Eh, you’re probably right, but I also know a lot of people from various Houston burbs and they all lean right/MAGA, so I’ve got some observational bias going on too

Houston is as well considering it’s massive but full of mostly sprawled suburbs and tons of oil people or friends/relatives of oil people.

It is in the context of a guy singing. The next line is something like “if it was a dog that had howled thus, he’d have shot him”

“Is it not strange that sheep’s guts should hail souls from mens’ bodies?” – Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

(Guitar/lute strings used to be made from sheep gut, for anyone confused)

The guys who came along years later and were (more) openly about drugs and sex (instead of semi-covertly about it)

The Rolling Stones were always the spoiled rich kids pretending to be tough. The Beatles were poor kids pretending to be posh. There are whole books written about that dynamic.

I thought free software was when you were the product and non-free software actually supported developers.

Or do you mean non-OSS?

The color or the fruit?

ISO dates, 100%.

Time zones…I could see arguing to rework them, but abolish them? How would that even work?

Looking at you, Google Play Library.

That’s an argument against an executive branch of government, not an argument against a constitutional monarchy.

You could have (and many countries do) a parliamentary system like you describe without having a monarch figurehead.

The question I think OP is asking is: why have the monarch figurehead.

There’s a kid who calls her father dada (dadda?..sp?) throughout the movie

Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.

Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call

Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.

But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.

Saving Private Ryan is at least “very good” if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.

And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn’t a 'high art ’ genre)

Ah yes. “If you’re rich, nothing is illegal, there’s just a fee”

That’s definitely a thing, but something different.
