  • I actually thought of this because of a line in The West Wing where the President is making a point about representation, then went off on a googling exploration to understand a bit whether it is a meaningful distinction - most of what I read seemed to reinforce the notion that the difference is important.

    In day-to-day life it certainly doesn't matter - but when you are attempting to discuss the nature of that political system itself, I don't think it is at all unreasonable to call out the distinction and decide whether to discuss it further. No need for snide jabs.

  • Good; I was worried I'd stumbled into some some paleo-esque "only drink from puddles at dawn and dusk to maximize your gut flora development" nonsense.

  • > Don’t drink more than 2 drinks in a day

    Just to clarify, because this one tripped me up: you specifically mean alcohol, right?

  • Listen, if I had to pull the Flying Kipper up a hill with inferior non-Welsh coal, I'd be sad too.

  • Interesting - having read the book several times I don't get the reference to the dinner scene; will have to look it up.

    The parts which bothered me were the Zendaya slow-mo flash-forwards being too long and too frequent with no substance, and Lady Jessica crying far more than reasonable for the character I remember.
