All the stuff in the USA named after Von Braun doesn’t surprise me.
Really interesting to see all the stuff named after Philippe Pétain in the USA. Looks like it was banned after him in the 1920s-1930s due to his role for France/allies in WWI. Then he became a Nazi collaborator later.
Good reminder of why you shouldn’t name things after people who are still alive.
Yup. I have The Clash song stuck in my head now.


I meant the brand more than the person.


I mean… Hugo Boss would take issue with not dressing to impress. But I guess even then it’s understated by fashion standards.


Sure. Absolutely correct for pressing down on a button or something similar
For other stuff, it’s not common, but I think it’s technically correct.
Depending on what it is, “compress” might be a better term than “depress”, though.


He’s been amazing in more dramatic roles many times. Watch “The Foreigner (2017),” “Shinjuku Incident (2009),” and “New Police Story (2004).”
That said, he’s had issues - cozied up to the Xi regime, issues with alcohol and drunk driving, a son in frequent trouble with the law where Daddy bailed him out… So you have to hold his nose a bit to watch movies. And he’s clearly got a bit of the Nic Cage in him where he can do some great stuff, but also doesn’t seem to say no to anything, so he does a lot of trash movies.


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.


Hadn’t seen Polyphonic before. Looks great. Subscribed!


You have to see the huge logical leap you’re making in your main point, right?
Just because some of Jesus’ disciples believed they saw a resurrected Jesus isn’t scientific proof that he was resurrected. It just means they believed he did.
You’re searching for facts in a realm of faith. Either you believe or you don’t. If you only believe in something that is proven, then you don’t have faith, just conviction.
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Heb 11:1


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”

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.
Backmarket will buy it from you and resell it. Just bought an iPhone 13 for my 16 year old. Lots of life left in “old” devices
