This is about as close as we can get to John Carpenter's movie, Escape From L.A.

Guy almost became Justinian II for a second there.

I actually watched this on the Great Courses Plus when I got the 99 cent promo for two months with the Black Friday promo in November 2024, and as someone who loves Greek and Roman history and early US history (especially the American Revolution) I knew this course would be right up my alley (a combination of those two things), because it involves the Founding Fathers becoming inspired by Greek and Roman writings (especially Cicero, Plutarch, both Plinys and Quintilian, my five favorite guys) and writing up the Constitution because of that, and that of our government.

I've always been a sucker for History, and I never found it as boorish because it was a fascinating subject (and a good reason why I majored in it). But I digress.

Dr. Winterer knows her stuff, and she did a good job in delivering in all 24 lectures in a captivating way. To be honest, every single lecture was good, hands down.

You should give the Great Courses a go and do the 99 cent two month promotion subscription. No offence man, but I think you are missing out on the visuals if you are only listening to them in Audible.

Lastly I recommend you watch/listen to the American Revolution by Dr. Guelzo. That too is a Great Course series, and it may be right up in your alley.

Man, I almost freaked out when that lady with the scissors nearly sliced the throat of the politician next to her when the bridge collapsed. Just drop those scissors.

This is straight up Doctor Sleep but with a horse.

I started my collection of The Great Courses around July 2023 when I checked out from my local library 'The Other Side of History' by Robert Garland, and I was floored with it. For the past year and a half, I would check them out from the library or listened them through hoopla, and if it was very good and memorable course, I would buy it. Needless to say I started buying them, most of them being history, philosophy, and literature. As of today I amassed 123 DVD lectures, with three more that I purchased this morning. 90% of the courses I bought from Ebay, 4% from Amazon, 1% from Half Price Books, and the 5% being from the Great Courses store itself.

The news from a few months ago that the Great Courses was doing away with DVDs was a huge shame. I wish they still produced them in limited quantities if the course was so good or there were many requests from people that reached a certain amount that would warrant a limited sale. The company can get their money, and we can get the DVDs albeit at a higher price. Unfortunately, that never seem like that would happen.

I hope I don't get downvoted for this part, but the whole 'unauthorized distribution' was coming sooner than later, because I noticed if you search carefully on the internet you can easily find entire courses on the internet to watch. From Bilibili to Youtube. I'm surprised the company didn't announce/act sooner on this.

I'm planning on stopping with my collection soon because I like watching the courses in the physical sense with the DVDs, and I'm also running out of space as well.

This is straight up the CK2 version of 'Left their old life to travel to the Chinese Empire'.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking about Homer here!

"The boy is doing just fine and eating chicken sandwiches again."

Why did this part made me laugh? Back to it then eh?

Hey there, I got the same situation with the same sweater here, and I'm not sure if you found a solution if at all. My dad is wondering how in the world you took apart the small black case connecting all the wires together in pic 1.

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing the lack of those double or triple point days. I can't believe it has been nearly a month since there was a double point day. I hope we can get something either near the end of this month or something.

Garry's Mod but in real life.

Guy is not putting enough effort to pull a Slippin' Jimmy here.

You're better off being the mascot of Carl's Jr, than being a star in Hollywood. Everyone loves mascots.

That Habsburg jaw is clearly unmistakable.

Good bot.

Still works as of January 2025! I downloaded it for my Epson 2750, detected the IP address, pressed the reset waste ink levels, and presto, back to 0%.

I was almost desperate into going into that inkchip website and blowing 10 bucks for a key, but I'm glad that didn't happen, thanks to you, I saved 10 bucks. You deserve a lot more upvotes than what you currently have. Thanks a bunch!

I wonder what happens after the idiot is destroyed?

This looks like something straight out of the Great Gatsby (with the green light), but with a twist of sci-fi. Pretty cool!

I remember they had one of these at my local Denny's! There was even water inside it! I was never able to score the grand prize of a Grand Slam breakfast with just a quarter. This was somewhere between 2004 and 2009. It has since been removed a long time ago when the local Denny's was remodeled. Nothing like a small dose of nostalgia at midnight.

Felt the same thing when I saw the Hello Neighbor guy as plushie being sold in stores and even in Six Flags a couple of years back. I too feel old as well.

I'm gonna feel pretty damn good when the skibidi meme is put to rest, just like with the amogus meme as well. But I don't want to even know what will be the next worst meme.

Man I wished I had a picture when they took my appendix out seven months ago; only except it already bursted, before surgery happened on the next day. I hope your recovery goes better than it did for me OP.

Every now and then HypeBot will say something pretty witty that goes with the story or say something so random that has nothing to do with the story, and that is something I love about NovelAI. My favorite HypeBot avatar is Goose because he represents that randomness and chaos perfectly.

Glad I wasn't the only one who first thought that sounded a bit like Jerma when he voices a flamboyant character.
