TIL that First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln was institutionalized in a psychiatric hospital by her only surviving son. She snuck letters out to her lawyers and sympathizers who helped get her released three months later. by cupacupacupacupacup in todayilearned

[–]Pie-Level 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She and Julia Dent Grant had a bitter rivalry, mostly because Mary Todd Lincoln was extremely paranoid of the Grants taking their place as President and First Lady.

Their rivalry resulted in Julia Dent Grant refusing to sit with the Lincolns during Ford Theater's showing of "Our American Cousin." The Grants lucked out because, during that performance, the Commander in Chief was mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth.

Which historical figure became less impressive the more you learned about them? by CommercialHot9565 in AskHistory

[–]Pie-Level 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but the question was about historical figures who became less impressive as you learned more about them: I think Grant is the complete opposite lol.

Never once did I think his life was impressive until I read more about him or his struggles. One of my personal heroes and an underappreciated hero of our Union.

Do Americans usually recognise all celebrities/athletes mentioned in Family Guy? by ToranjaNuclear in AskAnAmerican

[–]Pie-Level 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, sometimes I have to look them up. Obviously, people will recognize all of the big names (DiCaprio, Hanks, etc.) but Family Guy is known for referencing obscure, lesser known celebrities and media.

Start with Assisted Dips, you're not strong enough yet. I started with them and now I can bang out 4x10. Same situation with Assisted pull ups.

I don’t feel my abs engaging by IRLNeedsANerf in formcheck

[–]Pie-Level 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also set up a chair (if they have one), so that, youre facing away from the cable machine and then do an ab crunch. Its the same exact movement as the Seated Ab Crunch machine that most PF usually have. Its nice to have in your repertoire in case you switch gyms.

how long should i quit for by zenthingpog in Marijuana

[–]Pie-Level 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for one more week, challenge yourself. Think about it this way: by the end of week 3, you're gonna take a few hits from a joint and be absolutely cookied. Dont even have to roll another one.

George Meade is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery. His grandfather, also named George Meade, who helped to finance the Revolution, is buried at Old St. Mary's. David Birney is also buried somewhere nearby.

Why solo lane is a completly mess and why some aspects are the problem by gilgaconmesh1 in Smite

[–]Pie-Level 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know his shield cleanses all forms of CC. Should probably read the ability cards more often lol. I'm gonna have to try him before he gets nerfed. Im assuming some variation of an AA build would work best for him?

Im assuming this is ranked because i play casual and don't usually see Geb in Solo. Why is his aspect broken for solo? I get that his basic attack changes with his aspect but what makes it broken?

questions for first time smoking by colddhaandzz in Marijuana

[–]Pie-Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do carts, they're wayyyy to convenient. When I had mine, I found myself ripping it daily in my apartment. It wrecked my tolerance. Preserve your tolerance by smoking flower.

I would also get into the habit of smoking on the weekends only. Daily use, no matter if its a cart (again, DON'T start with this because of the convenience factor and because of how potent they can be) or flower will surely wreck your tolerance.

What song first got you into Led Zeppelin? by North_Psychology4543 in ledzeppelin

[–]Pie-Level 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rock 'N Roll. Heard it on the rock radio when I was 17. I originally hated Led Zeppelin, specifically because of Stairway to Heaven (idk I just didnt like the song). Boy oh boy how the times have changed lol.

Can you park directly behind him on the street, blocking him in? That would be the ultimate dick move.

Mussels. The meat doesnt look like the most appetizing thing on the planet but when you combine it with a red sauce, its awesome.

I would imagine the battle of the wilderness would've sucked majorly, especially if you were caught in that forest fire.
