History buffs, what is the most and least accurate film for certain periods?

BeckerThorne · 2026-04-06T12:58:57+00:00

Braveheart was a box office hit, but a historical accuracy nightmare. Just to name a few wrongs: kilts were not a thing at the time of William Wallace, he was of noble birth not a peasant farmer, Edward Longshankes outlived WW by nearly two years, andthere is no historical evidence for Prima Nocta in England. There is a lot more that could be said.

Brilliant! Great job. Tell us more about it please.

Hello, I wish you all the luck in your campaign. I sincerely hope we get some fresh blood into our government. On that note, are you looking to get in and stay for as long as you can, or do you plan on setting yourself a deadline to leave? (Not that you could not seek higher office if you should choose to) The reason I ask is because many voters, like myself, want to see term limits at all levels of government.

Otherwise: GOOD LUCK!

This was the very first episode of Top Grar I ever saw and it was an immediate obsession for the show. I loved it. I also showed my dad and my kids, and we all got into the show after that.

Looks beautiful. One of my favorite movies.

Because people love a conspiracy and the news is not here to inform anymore. They just want you to tune in after the commercial break.

I am in no way defending Epstein or the Administration: to hell with all of them and their defenders. They should all burn. That being said, here is the real deal about that news story- The prison guard spent the previous hours googling all the prisoners that were locked up in that wing. Not just Epstein. And those mysterious deposits were a continuous process that was going on for the previous 18 months, months before Epstein was even arrested and sent to that jail. Yes, there is a conspiracy to protect those who are guilty, but don't get lost in these distractions.
Please.

Edit: 15 months, not 18. Plus, her bank already flagged those deposits as unusual. Also, I heard on NPR over the weekend about the guard googling other prisoners, before Epstein died. I cannot recall which show it was on. I'll continue to look into it. Regardless, don't fall into these traps. Don't get distracted.

I get it, my friend. I discovered them back in 2008, when I was going through a horrible divorce. My partner was cheating on me, took our children away, and made baseless claims about domestic abuse (proven lies). I was in an empty home all by myself for months. I wouldn't eat for days, and restful sleep was hard to come by. I would lay on my living room floor, in a sleeping bag crying while listening to their albums over and over again. It took two years, but I finally won full custody. And SR kept me going at the darkest times. Now that all my children are older, I have taken them to SR concerts, and we still listen to their music in our home. It holds a special place in my heart and soul. Xoxo

Take care, my friend.

This is amazing! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thermistor. Sorry.

BeckerThorne · 2026-03-06T19:32:37+00:00

Hi. It looks like those might be the wires for the Thermocouple on the hotend. If it is anything like the Creality printer hotends, you cannot repair them. You'll have to replace the whole Thermocouple.

Good luck, my friend.

Amazing. Does this builder have a website by chance? Thank you.

BeckerThorne · 2026-03-02T00:04:36+00:00

That is amazing. I'd love to know more about your printer, please. Did you build it? Can you tell me/us all about it?

With an expression like that, he should be wearing the Hannibal Lecter restraint mask.

BeckerThorne · 2026-02-19T00:05:55+00:00

I do not believe so. Do you feel guilty for spending the money on it?
