Really depends on what actually keeps it up. I certainly don't see what does.

And, of course, having the same "James Bond" guy burned over and over again just to come back will make all those bad guys meeting him shit their pants. Thus all the name-dropping instead of weird concepts like secrecy and stuff.

None of the movies were good, really. They were still largely enjoyable (despite all their lost potential).

No bears there, though.

"From the very-soft sci-fi department:"

As long as it comes with protection from alien retaliation, I'd be fine with Popplers, I think.

Well, melange is also described to prolong life and youth and the majority of the population consuming it seems rather fine with it.

I don't think it would work all that well for a diet. I think there was a line of a character being told he had just eaten several days worth of that stuff. And it does seem to be highly concentrated and not all that filling so basically you can eat a lot of it without actually feeling full.

Well, tigers are quite different from humans. And as far as I understand it, the premise of this story is not that there is a society of asocial loners (wait, what?) but (usually) pair-bonding humans in larger mixed groups (so it's not like sex-specific groups of any other animal) who for some reason collectively pick…

In the video they said gas turbines (instead of a steam cycle). Though for big power plants it seems to me that steam or combination gas-steam would still be superior.

Sexual attraction is the mechanism by which procreation (on a species level) works. At least for normal species that try not to go extinct by instinct rather than conscious effort as humanity might. However, understanding and conscious effort would have to have formed at some point and only after that a widespread…

Office is more or less fine. The kitchen, on the other hand....

Yeah, nothing under my bed but the floor, either. And whoever thinks they can strike from the is welcome to try.

1:43 - putting your cat in the trash can is a good start but you need to put something heavy on the lid once it's inside.

Yeah, totally works. I mean, our cats know perfectly well where they're not allowed to go and sure enough sheepishly leave those pieces of furniture when someone comes into the room who could enforce that...

With English as my second language, I have many times heard about this supposed rule (even once or twice at school) but I never took it for an actual rule because you never see it played out.

So basically what you're saying is: The English language needs a new word for "literally".

In part, at least. He has a history of attacking the wrong trees, it seems.

With the Allies largely controlling the Atlantic, he didn't really have access to cocaine.

That certainly explains why she looked perfectly normal to me.
