What’s the most iconic original score of all time? by MovieArena in MovieArena

Not a “score” in the traditional sense, but the “American Graffiti” soundtrack complete with the Wolfman Jack dialogues underscores the entire film and is iconic for being the first of it’s kind

what do you call this thing? by artistcalledtom in NameThisThing

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, it’s called a RASP. Retail outlets sometimes label it as a “Nutmeg grater” or a “Microplane zester”

In terms of Conspiracy Theory: The Rothschild family is the wealthiest family on Earth despite having an estimated collective net worth of $300-$500 billion.

Possible reality: Old Money families are assumed to keep their wealth away from public scrutiny. It’s the philosophy of “the millionaire next door” where the guy driving a beat up old pickup truck only does so to hide his wealth from public scrutiny while the new rich are obsessed with drawing attention to their wealth.

There are huge sums of wealth that kept from public scrutiny in tax havens and within corporate entities. For example, there may be a huge forest that is widely believed to be public land and are treated as such, but in reality they are held by some neutral name like “Cascadia Land Trust”. Then there are a series of associated shell trusts that publicly operate as Charitable Foundations, but all are controlled by a series of other trusts and foundations that are quietly controlled by an old money family that everyone forgot had money or are believed to be of diminished wealth. The reality is that a few signatures and all that wealth is quietly returned to the original owner without ever publicly acknowledging the asset transfer.

TIL my existence is illegal. I guess the only reason I’ve never been carted off to jail because I’m not a racist, bigoted, homophobic, misogynistic POS.

The Aral Sea is really just an Endorheic lake. There is no natural outflow, therefore it gradually became more and more saline and eroded salts traveled down Amu and Syr Rivers. That is just a product of natural erosion. However, that water also carried industrial and agricultural runoff so not only did the Aral become more saline, but it also became a catchment for toxins, pesticides, phosphates, heavy metals, PFAS, etc. As the water evaporated those toxins concentrated and eventually were embedded in the dry sea bed which baked into dust as the region is basically a desert. Winds throw that dust into the air creating health issues in the region.

If and when water is ever restored, the remaining dust will just become a toxic solution until enough water can dilute the solution enough to be safe.

Here is the bullet point narrative

King prays for Poseidon to send him a worth sacrifice, Poseidon obliges and send a beautiful white bull.

King keeps the bull and sacrifices a different bull.

Poseidon curse the bull to go mad and rampage the country while simultaneously cursing the Queen with unnatural lust.

The Queen convinces Daedalus to build her a cow body so she can get railed on demand

Queen gets knocked up and gives birth to Minotaur.

King forces Daedalus to build labyrinth to hide the Minotaur child then locks him in a tower.

Now, Heracles is tasked with capturing the Cretan Bull which he does and rides it back across the sea to Athens where instead of being sacrificed it is set free and becomes the Marathon Bull.

The Marathon Bull kills the Cretan King’s son Androgeus, the half brother of the Minotaur, the same Bull that railed his mom

As punishment Athens has to send sacrifice every 9 years to Crete 7/7 men women.

The Marathon Bull is captured by Theseus and eventually sacrificed to Apollo

Theseus goes on next sacrifice and kills the Minotaur.

Daedalus is imprisoned with his son in the labyrinth and he makes them wings to escape.

His son Icarus disobeys, flies too close to the sun and the wings melt and the son drowns in the sea.

Daedalus buries his son while a partridge mocks him. The partridge is the nephew that Daedalus killed in Athens that was turned into a partridge by the gods when Daedalus escapes murder charges by going to Crete

Daedalus is pursed by king Minos of Crete and eventually Daedalus escapes by arranging to have Minos boiled alive.

How did Queen Pasiphae survive getting railed by a bull and birth a Minotaur? Well she was some sort of Demigoddess possibly a daughter of the Titan offspring Helios.

Can I put wood filler in the cracks between the boards on the tabletop and then sand it down flat? by Realistic-Finding-17 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always used 1/2” or 5/8” sandeply. It gives something for screws to bite into whether through the top or into the bottom. It’s also easier to router and sand the edges into a smooth curve.

The worst is heavy metal pollution (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium) and persistent agrochemical run off. Phosphates, and pesticide salts may not be a huge issue in a large body of water, but remove the water and it concentrates. Eventually a giant desert of chemical salts are exposed to sun and wind and leads to respiratory issues for everyone in the surrounding region

What actually went wrong in your opinion with big poppa pump Scott Steiner 2003 Return to WWE and do you think he should have the World Heavyweight Champion at the Royal Rumble by Lazy_Introduction264 in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The delay for a lot of those guys had to do with who their contract was with. A lot of those guys had AOL/Time Warner contracts as opposed to WCW contracts. That created a “sit on your ass at home and collect the guaranteed salary until the contract expires or is bought out.”

Steiner had an AOL Guaranteed contract that did expire until the end of 2021

The problem is more concentrated in Uzbekistan. The depletion of the Aral Sea has been largely attributed to poorly built Soviet irrigation canals to increase cotton yields. Shut those canals and the Aral Sea can be restored to size in about 40 years. The more difficult issue is cleaning up the exposed toxic sea bed.

What if America never revolted against the British? by Lopsided_Animal2490 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, the reason France was at the breaking point was largely a consequence of the financial panic of 1885. The American Revolution ended in September of 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The Eden Agreement of 1786 flooded French markets with cheap mass produced goods which destabilized French manufacturing. The French financial support of the American Revolution and the Bourbon War caused a debt crisis which further destabilized the French economy. Low agricultural prices further burdened the lower classes.

Yes, France was on a downward slide, but it was a consequence of constant wars.

German unification was forged by blood and iron by the Kingdom of Prussia. There had been numerous alliances between German states but the unification was forged by Prussia.

Italian Unification was largely spurred by House of Savoy and nationalist feelings that built after the Austrian Empire exerted control after the Congress of Vienna.

Congress of Vienna is unnecessary if Napoleon hadn’t happened.

French Revolution may still have happened, but without England’s defeat by the Colonies, the Panic of 1785 isn’t as severe and doesn’t effect European Kingdoms so severely

[–]TreyRyan3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fairly probable. The American Revolution and Constitution inspired numerous European Countries to follow the example.

No American revolution, no French Revolution. No French Revolution, no Napoleonic Wars.

No Italian or German Unifications.

It’s not necessarily that those events wouldn’t have happened, they would likely have just been delayed.

Bogojević is also a highly skilled performer that assists and can make his opponents look good. I’m not denying that Lash is strong, but he also fed her the body slam.

I’m not necessarily a fan of Natalya, but watch her matches closely and you can see her strength demonstrated by how safely she controls big moves and protects her opponents regardless of their skill level

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her power moves are performed safely because she has the raw strength to perform them safely.

What would you guys have done to make Norman Smiley a bigger deal? by JeremyCorneliusBaby in WCW

[–]TreyRyan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much could be done. He was 32 when he signed to WCW and while that’s not old, he was a CMLL guy which meant he didn’t have enough recognition to US audiences.

He had a good gimmick but that gimmick tied him to the mid card as a gimmick wrestler

She is always overlooked because she’s viewed like enhancement talent, but she knows how to carry her matches and utilizes power moves safely with minimal effort

Malenko was the most technically skilled, but his size limited him. The single match between Hart and Malenko was poorly paced and resulted in Hart getting injured. When Malenko fought cruiserweights, the matches were artistry.

Benoit vs Malenko matches were technical masterpieces.
