Joe Stecher was a professional wrestler back when it was real competitive sport (though not without some match pairings being made more for showmanship instead of pure sport achievement)

The internet is at a loss on who was John H. Samson, of this or prior eras. Also still a mystery is ‘push over the mason temple’? A figure of speech, someone’s nickname, literary/biblical allusion, or a reference to some freemasonry rite?
lol, it's been covered, but gotta point out again that you have flaws in your understanding of calculus and the history of calculus.
Not even remotely. In addition to quite a lot of normal, everyday people both right and left who are troubled by what they’re seeing, many gay people, including gay parents, are concerned about extremism happening both in the schools and in their movement because they see it as a way to prey upon the vulnerable and even ERASE gay children by telling them that their same-sex attraction is actually a sign they were “born into the wrong body”.
double lol, Andrew Sullivan has been on twitter trying to push back on the grooming narrative since this post

The proper name for this aria from the opera Jocelyn by Benjamin Godard is “Berceuse” and sometimes the English title “Angels guard thee”. A beautiful tune that has been recorded over and over by operatic tenors and many other instrumentalists. This recording is sung in English.
I don't get what interest the crowd in the "Dreamer" section had with a brick on a string? Or is that supposed to be something else, like a loaf of bread? (or stack of money?)
Here's a slo-mo edit, with some other video feeds (I think a Japanese one in addition to the Australian one above) which have different angles (maybe the foreign broadcasts use their own camera crews? or maybe just directors and pick different angles than the 'main' US feed?)
Also, if you set off a nuke bomb in Cheyenne Mountain, that could very well be a civilization destroying event. (though they weren't in Cheyenne Mountain until the show, maybe?)
Re: language - one funny bit from the show is that they keep this conceit in the pilot, but in the first 'real' episode, Daniel starts speaking the Ancient Distant Egyptian (or maybe it was the 'gods' language) but then the new alien character they meet looks at him funny and replies in English. (which was the show going 'ok, yeah, we get it, don't write letters)
(one other feature of the pilot is that it was created for premium cable (showtime I think) so has some 'premium cable' content that of course would not be a feature of the series.)
To me, it seems like Briggs drew this, but McCutheon did the words (tho actual lettering may still be Briggs or whomever would do his lettering if Briggs didn’t). Similar to how in the Days of Real Sport the included poems were someone else.
And apparently, this was a real live issue. There’s an article on the front page of the New York Times from January 1912 about the price of butter, and an archive Bureau of Labor Stats report via the St, Louis Fed shows (page 7) how retail butter prices had doubled over the past couple of years.
One can find on the internet a lot of Irish jokes. One can find on the internet even more Jewish jokes. But this was the only thing I could find that would combine the two.
Huh, today I learned. I always thought the initial Hubble aberration was from the mirrors etc sitting around in 1g for longer than anyone expected due the mission delays that followed the Challenger disaster.
The new West Side Story is supposed to be good. The older one was a decent film adaption.
I enjoyed The Heights, but I never saw a stage production of it. (Though before that I saw the filmed version of Hamilton that Disney carried* and you can certainly tell the family resemblance)
Sound of Music of course hit it out of the park as a film adaptation (probably the GOAT of this sub-genre?)
*was In fact I think the ‘killer app’ that caused us to finally subscribe.
Or, alternatively, very good movies, where you finally learn how the story goes,because you weren’t paying attention in high school English class the first time around.
Re: Death on the Nile. (And the rest of the Agathaverse) I will say, it’s kinda hard to go into a movie based on an 85 year old book, which has been adapted for both TV and film at least a couple of times, and not be spoiled on the underlying whodunit.
Heck, Kenneth Branagh signature as a filmmaker, mostly, is making very good movies than you already know how they go.
Here's a dumb question, when you say its free until the 17th, does that me I just have to download it (after I presume setting up an account on Epic Game Store, which I have never used) prior to the 17th, and then be able to play it whenever? Or does that mean I will only be able to play it for free until March 17?
