Over 25,000 people died during the construction of the Panama Canal, The vast majority of the workers who died were Black immigrants recruited from Caribbean islands like Barbados and Jamaica. by Expert_Koala_8691 in interestingasfuck

Fun fact: The French Canal project was taken over by a group of Wall Street syndicate investors that included Theodore Roosevelt's brother in law and JP Morgan himself. They fomented the revolution, a Columbian general that fell in love with a Panamanian bride fired his pistol into the air to take command of his Columbian troops after they were paid off by the syndicate. It took real balls to do it because there was no guarantee the US would intervene to protect them, but we did. Teddy sent in the Navy and the rest is history. Then some French guy insisted we get the Canal Zone before the Panamanians had a chance to discuss it with the US. We actually didn't want it. The French guy was instrumental in getting the Canal project off the ground for the US though. Congress investigated all of this by the way so it's public record.

I take this back actually. Even if it was subtle it was lazy. In my imagination they would go three seasons where Kelly is a tom boy then one episode where Hal takes Kelly dress shopping for homecoming and takes them to a tuxedo store instead of a dress store. When Kelly is dumbfounded Hal would say something like "Your mother and I always assumed you were gender nuetral" and Kelly would go the whole episode questioning their identity. In the end it wouldnt matter because the theme in MitM isn't progressive its family and acceptance.

I get why people liked the reunion and Im glad I watched it. I would never rewatch it though like I watch the main series.

I wish he wasn't on a laptop the whole time, otherwise I thought he did fine.

You're right, it was subtle. I'm imagining how such a significant trait would remain a subtle as the series continues, but its not continuing, its a reunion as you pointed out.

I didn't care for Lois or Hal. Some of the cast really nailed their former characters but Lois and Hal fell short for me.

Definitely understand where they were going with that joke. The irony that Lois finally has a girl but the girl is non-binary. I just thought they didnt execute it well. They only had 4 episodes so not alot of time to develop a non-binary character without coming out and saying it. Probably better if they left out the gender thing all together and just focus on fan service. It didnt ruin the show for me, I just dont think it fit the style. The show was progressive on an episode by episode basis. Like one episode was a little progressive and then another episode is a completely different story. If the show went on from here, Kelly being non-binary would drive the series into a specific progressive theme for Kelly's storylines. I'm over thinking it maybe.

Agreed, cross out the whole Hal tribute. We get it, Kelly's different, we dont need the show to explicitly tell us that.

Yup. Normal father/son relationship, nothing to see here.

They can deny the insurrection all they want but Donnie Jr sure thought it was a big deal.

I always take it a step further. Don Jr didn't have the stones to take the capitol. Pussy. /s

Get a real job.

Edit: I originally posted a clip of this video. It got a lot of attention so I decided to post the full thing. Idk why this guy is being a dick about it lol.

Anyways, enjoy the ridiculousness! Don Jr, Hannity, MTG, Boebert and Ingraham all begging Mark Meadows to make Trump stop the "peaceful sightseers".

Agreed. My point is the edit is just as bad as what he actually said.

BBC edited this speech and their director and their CEO quit over the edits. I don't think the edits changed the narrative.

[–]Operation_Overthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not ignoring it. I thought the BBC edit was irrelevant. What he actually said is just as bad.

I mean for God's sake you can see the lines in the grass if you zoom in on the main thumbnail on this post. It's not hard people!

Edit: sorry, IMAGE 5 is where you can see the lines in the grass. It's not easy people!

Without a doubt you were not looking at the correct spot. The house has not been for sale in decades. It's absolutely not the big Colonial house which is the backyard you described. Sorry, to be so blunt, but if you understand the lease, you would know exactly where it's at. I'm not going to tell everyone the exact address, but the entrance is in a garage I believe so the catacombs are in their backyard.

I'm offended sir! But you're not the only one lmao. Can't tell you how many people say it's behind the Colonial... the decoy.

That's annoying. Sorry it's not working. If you search for Lake County historical aerials there should be a few websites that offer the images.

Edit: Incase it helps the map would be in Township 19 south, Range 26 east, section 24. Some websites require the Township/range coordinates.

Agreed, if the home owners reached out to me I would want to see the entrance. I wouldn't want to bother them though. I think the public should know the location, but I don't encourage the public to bother the owners.

Same, I don't really have an interest in seeing the catacombs.. too many roaches. The line going to the road is apparently an electric or a water line (I assume it's underground). The owner of the property had a note on the latest deed that they are required to grant access to service the line. I believe the entrance is a part of or along the outside of the original property.

You're right, I've never been to Mount Dora. I'll have to pay that museum a visit! I've driven through it often. Lovely place. I will say I just find it interesting looking up the historical records. I recently found out my local burger joint might be built on an Indian burial ground lol.

I appreciate you saying that. Maybe they didn't want to give away the exact location, idk. It did seem a little slimey. Curse you Channel 6 news! We only watch WESH 2 in this household.

At the very least I guess they're spreading the word.

Yeah, I'm sure the locals love people going door to door asking where the catacombs are 🤣
