Cultural impact - i have noticed a big uptick in the number of guys with moustaches in the last 6 months, and I genuinely think it has to do with miles teller in Top Gun

Ok I have no knowledge of this show, but you mentioned my people - are these people members? They don't have wikipedia pages. If they're putting woke stuff in shows, it may be possible that like many a show-biz member, they've fully been subsumed into the successor ideology and calling them "mormon" is a stretch.
I only quibble (just a bit!), because my tradition has produced the Battlestar Galactica guy, Orson Scott Card, Brandon Sanderson (is he good? Feels like people like him). I'll admit to having little knowledge of fantasy or sci fi literature but at least my impression was that we typically punched decently well above our weight class, perhaps not so

I never put salt or pepper on my food. My mom once told me that it was rude to put salt on food before you tasted it, and then I thought about it as a child and was like, sounds just as rude to be like 'urgh, good heavens' after taking a bite and then salt it, like it just seems to me if the food needed more salt or pepper, the chef can add it.
It's honestly really stupid, but now it's kind of just what I do.
Another one - my dad told me when I was a kid that if I wore a belt to sleep, I would die. 20 years later he doesn't remember saying it but we both think it's hilarious because I didn't find out until I was on my LDS mission and told my companion that he needed to take his belt off before sleeping or else he would DIE. Anywho, he was like "excuse me, what are you talking about" and gently corrected me at the time, but I still dutifully take off my belt before a nap!

The two big ones I'm seeing are - larger bases, and a pitch timer. I think there are more, but those are the ones I'm seeing most discussion about

Any baseball fans care to weigh in on the rule changes? Good? Bad? Too early to tell?

I've taken it off my resume at this point, I have enough project and technical experience that I don't need that. I only had it there when I was looking for first job out of school and had like, no good experience. I doubt it had much of a benefit, but it made me feel better to have a full page at least.

The coded way for LDS people to signal their religion to employers is a bit of a joke within the Church - putting a section on your resume about your missionary service, but trying to make it as subtle or as not obvious as possible so gentiles don't pick up on it. To be clear, it's really only something you list as a new grad when you're scraping the barrel for things to put on there.
"Organized door to door sales presentations, presented quarterly earnings reports to superiors", it's kind of a meme.
My wife and I have already decided to hold back our November kids a year so they can be the oldest instead of youngest. I've observed this phenomenon but never realized there is actual data to back it up (though it was always pretty much true on it's face). The older kids always seemed to be better behaviorally, academically, socially (first one to drive, confers status).
