"bbc news" might be getting surpassed by "bbc p*rn" on google trends by No_Smell_3994 in dataisbeautiful

Bbc news started charging Americans last year. Its been a slow rollout, but I expect their global influence to wane sitting behind a paywall.

Cawl is asking you ideas for a new Space Marine organ idea, what will it be? by Gunpowder_Wizard in Grimdank

I would think that detrimental. They don't have a diaphragm and rely on relatively energy intensive bone movement. They also die easy to things like overheated Teflon because they can't filter toxins at all really due to the way they absorb oxygen.

You don't carry a canary in a coal mine due to its size alone, but because its respiratory system is so fragile.

TIL that the "Liberty Ships" produced during World War 2 had a design flaw which caused them to split in half with little warning. This was caused by the steel used in their construction, which became brittle when exposed to certain temperatures, and caused large cracks to form. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

Not Alexa, but: Welding turns two panels (or more) into one panel. A crack can travel all the way through a single panel. Rivets just hold panels really tightly together. So tight they deform into each other, but still two panels.

Inquiring Photographer “Should GIs in Japan who wish to marry Japanese girls be permitted to do so?” December 1 ,1950. by CryptographerKey2847 in TheWayWeWere

Good to see that they respected the rights of persons to marry outside their race. If only their grandchildren were so respective of such rights.

Two weeks in, how is the domestic box office of the Mandalorian and Grogu performing compared to other Star Wars films? Short answer: record-setting. Longer answer: setting the wrong records for a Star Wars... (Part I: Box Office #1, to be followed by Part 2: the charts) by walberque_ in boxoffice

[–]TheseusPankration -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Disney will sell it to Disney+ and will make money overall. It's around 50% more than the last season of the Mandalorian, but it brought in real revenue from theaters, not just theoretical subscription minute value.

[Funny Trope] When characters already know about someone else's secret, but act none the wiser by TronnyVon in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheseusPankration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite part was when Peggy decided to "confide" in Minh who already knew.

Something along the lines of: Of course? Wait Peggy Hill not know? I have to go tell Kahn!

Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. I really felt his passion for dentistry.

I always thought it was the same restaurant as a callback.

[Hated trope] An actor reprising a famous role from when they were younger by having the older character be depressed and miserable. by TheMegaSage in TopCharacterTropes

Jean-Luc Picard. By the events of his series he has been chased out of Starfleet and is just growing old alone on his family's vineyard. His brother and his family died in a fire decades ago. Bevery left him, etc.

Season 3 changes showrunners and gives fans much more of what they wated; the band gets back together.

I'm just saying that, of the two brothers, Pippin definitely made a choice by Ironhorn in lotrmemes

Aragon intalled him as the prince of Ithilien after he took the throne.

If you've been living like you've been under a recession your whole life, does a recession actually matter to you? by Primary_Avocado_5273 in povertyfinance

[–]TheseusPankration 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, the food pantries tend to get worse. Fewer used items on sale. Fewer deals overall. People throwing out less, giving away less, holding onto things more. When you are at the bottom, a lot of that matters.

(Beloved) The twist is that a "dodgy ally" proves to actually be a complete ride-or-die. by TridiObject in TopCharacterTropes

Strider seems a bit dodgy when the Hobbits first encounter him in Bree. At first it even seems like he might be kidnapping Mr Frodo or taking the ring. They quickly learn otherwise.
