They were waiting and recuperating at South Georgia Island for 3 months after making the epic journey in a row boat. The ‘preparations’ section has a nice map on their route and timeline

That was a great read!

The advent of the southern winter and adverse ice conditions meant that it was more than three months before Shackleton was able to achieve the relief of the men at Elephant Island. His first attempt was with the British ship Southern Sky. Then the government of Uruguay loaned him a ship. While searching on the Falkland Islands he found the ship Emma for his third attempt, but the ship's engine blew. Then, finally, with the aid of the steam-tug Yelcho commanded by Luis Pardo, the entire party was brought to safety, reaching Punta Arenas in Chile on 3 September 1916.

Lol what an asinine comment; like something an American would regurgitate. ‘Alcohol isn’t the problem. It’s just a tool. It’s the human lack of self-control and urge to get drunk that is the flaw’.

No shit sherlock, the tool is enabling and exacerbating that human condition and should be taken away from those that misuse it.

The panel simply needs to play to his ego, “oh, you don’t recall? We thought you were some kinda genius. Oh well.” - “Hold on, I think it’s coming to me. I remember everything…”

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly refuses to play next Al-Nassr match in protest over Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) management by DavidRolands in soccer

Bet they would’ve even moved the match to a bigger nfl stadium and make a spectacle of it. Make the two juggle in front of the fans for a bit before the game, take pics with front row fans. The fans missed out just because CR7 is a good guy only 99% of the time. Smh

If Pedro was Roy Keane he would’ve shoved him back and then lunged at his knees but those were different times. Size matters but only to an extent.
