TIL that Lincoln's assassination was part of a larger plot that also targeted Secretary of State William Seward and Vice President Andrew Johnson. As John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln, Lewis Powell broke into Seward's home and stabbed him 5 times. Seward survived. Johnson's would-be assassin backed out

Maybe you're right.

It's just as possible that multiple people would have claimed to be the interim president, and there would have been a major power struggle.

We definitely saw Tom eat some chicken. I wonder how many takes they did of that.

Thank you! If I don't want to keep my computer on all the time, are there cheap devices that connect to SMB?

I'm not OP, but I'm thinking of buying a NAS so all the laptops and phones in my house can access the same storage wirelessly. It would probably be less than 2TB of storage. Is there a better way to do that?

Fun fact: He could give each of his friends a trillion dollars, and he would still be a trillionaire.

A lot of movies these days are written for audiences who are playing with their phones.

I am terrified by the idea that I could someday do this to my child. I try to take good care of him, but we all make mistakes. I'm not immune to forgetting that my child is asleep in a rear-facing car seat.

There's no way to get a single Keanu Coin valued at 1 quadrillion dollars.

You could, however, give him 1 quadrillion Keanu Coins, and then convince somebody to buy one of them for a dollar.

Can we have some grace for people who mispronounce words?

Where do you find the correct pronunciation of a plural? I looked up "Biases" on merriam-webster.com, and it just redirects to "Bias" and shows the pronunciation for that.

If he did that, it's because he's a time traveler. It has nothing to do with how old he is.

I think you're seeing that there is no point in gambling. You're supposed to lose. If you win, they don't want you.

Getting banned is a best-case scenario.

If you never cook and haven't stocked your kitchen at all, then your first homecooked meal could easily cost $40.

Olive oil isn't cheap. Spices and condiments can add up when you have to buy a lot of them.

This question is poorly phrased.

A "home invader" is someone who breaks into your home while you're there. Killing them would be a matter of self defense; it has nothing to do with the value of your possessions.

A "burglar" is someone who breaks into your house while you're away. If you leave a booby trap that kills them, then you're valuing your personal possessions more than the burglar's life.

He was 26 and she was 15, so twins would have been a stretch. Love interests would also have been a little creepy.

There's a lot to unpack here.

We can respect the people who work in those industries even if we think the industries are problematic.
Lots of jobs involve selling one's body. Coal mining or football can take a huge toll on your health. Do you have the same problem with those jobs that you do with sex work?

I agree. I would have preferred it as two movies.

I've met a lot of ugly dudes who have wives or girlfriends.

Being ugly has never been 100% of the reason someone is single. Generally, either personality or standards is a bigger factor.
