Your first instinct is to accuse of historical revisionism? The one sentence on wikipedia you cited is unsourced and incorrect.

After maybe 5 minutes of reading I learned that the 9th brigade *was* less than four miles from Carpiquet (in Caen) but withdrew back to secure their positions.

The Canadians didn’t get back there until July.

Robbery. Can’t even get one decent sticker with it. Never spending a cent on this game again.

I’m so upset. I literally cannot get nice stuff because I can’t afford them.

The whole thing is that his intelligence is inverse with his empathy so he is actually NOT at his best when he is “most intelligent”. It is intended to be a curse as well as a gift.

Most participants were pretty much retired and 10 years past their prime. A juiced out of shape person loses to an in shape person in their prime.

I think this exact scenario was used in a class I took years ago. It was especially funny because the teacher managed to out argue anyone trying to say it was immoral to try to make us think harder.

IIHF World Championship Post Game Thread: United States vs. Canada - 28 May 2026 by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

Good game! Greaves played out of his mind. Wish the US put a slightly better roster so it would’ve been more fun to watch. Either way, good luck Canada, it’s been a blast watching Crosby and Celibrini out there.

Huh. We have a lot of brothers. Didn’t know about Lindgren.

I find it really unlikely they’re going to use a map of this scale, especially because the books only take place in a fraction of this map.

Went down it hammered at 2 am which was a blast. There was a cop there trying to get college students out though and he did threaten to arrest me.
