For me, fan score is a separate axis (how much fun is the film).

Yes but the html it generated was a monstrosity. If you wanted to edit it again, you better use dreamweaver.

Depending on how medieval the setting is, hops were not the common bittering in many beers, it was a mix of herbs called gruit. If this mix's ingredients are secret (or regulated), it would be easy to monopolize and drive the price up.

The price may be going up due to the cost of some profane adulterants being added in ever greater quantities...

I was not expecting a King Missile reference in 2026. Thank you.

It's made by US Robotics, so it must be a positronic brain.

I think there's a fine line between collaboration and committee (members of a band can collaborate to make good music). But capitalism definitely works against art.

Fifth Element was at the top of my movies that I would stop and watch when scrolling cable channels alongside Top Secret, Clue, and Shawshank.

You seem to be arguing for choosing a major with some job prospect, but Ford seems to be arguing for not taking any courses that aren't directly beneficial to some economic purpose.

I disagree with Ford's stance at least. As an old tech person, my non-tech uni courses were most beneficial to my overall capabilities in my tech job, at least in the long run. Creative writing, ethics, history, and tort law were things I took because they were interesting (to me at least). None of these had much relevance to tech as far as I could see, but I've been much better off for them.

The thing I find funniest about that is that milk of magnesia is rather new to the English language (1880 according to the Oxford English dictionary). Meanwhile terms like almond milk that are "too confusing" have been in the English language since Middle English.

Fucking lobbyists...
