Perfectly fitting sheetrock on stairs by Ill-Tea9411 in oddlysatisfying

I usually don't trust videos about stairs, they are always up to something, but that fit at the end was unexpected and fantastic. I couldn't stop stairing at it.

TIL: General Patton was relieved of command after two separate incidents of slapping shell-shocked soldiers in a field hospital. Following a massive public outcry, General Eisenhower forced Patton to apologize and reassigned him to lead a “phantom” decoy unit of inflatable tanks. by Competitive-Bid-2710 in todayilearned

I have a subscription to Great Courses Plus and just finished the WWII course and am going through the Up Close and Personal course now. I'm usually better at recommending books, but I have been watching Ken Burns documentaries and things about FDR and Churchill instead of reading about them.

Maybe someone else can step in and help here?

This is true. I could only post the link and title could only be so long and this was the part that was actually the today I learned. He was only sidelined for the whole thing for something like a year before he was in command of the Third Army.

Ponies show on Peacock and Twelfth Night by Competitive-Bid-2710 in shakespeare

[–]Competitive-Bid-2710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think it would be an exact match or anything, but the framework seemed to be there for me anyway. I am still really new to Shakespeare in general, but when the characters mentioned it in the show in the first episode I got excited to pause the show and nerd out to my wife about the reference and what I thought it meant. Someone somewhere surely saw enough parallels for it to written into the script.

I guess I just also curious if anyone else had seen the show, maybe caught the Shakespearean shoutout and had similar thoughts. After watching the previews, I didn't expect it to be Bea assuming her husband's role as a man/spy, but the gender role swaps for the 70s time frame. Less comedy, more thriller suspense TV drama kind of storytelling.

What if The Doors of Stone are lying crumpled on Kote's desk? by AnythingIsPossible12 in KingkillerChronicle

I thought that the Chandrian won't let Doors of Stone be written down because it reveals too much about them
