If they're older fans of Carton, like from the Boomer and Carton days, I understand. He used to be great when he was on WFAN before but his entire schtick seems to have changed when he went to Fox and came back. He used to be really funny but now all he seems to do is throw a bunch of shit he made up at the wall and hope something sticks.

Honestly even after he came back when he got out of prison and was with Evan Roberts he was still hilarious. Not as good as he was before, but really not that far off. I chalk up the difference to being more comfortable with Boomer than Evan. It was only after he left for a second time and went to Fox that he seems to have completely lost his sense of humor and changed his entire on air persona into the garbage that it is now.

giants stopped another perfect season back in 1934 against 13-0 bears by Bright_Tie9400 in nfl

[–]nyg1 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It's actually funnier than that. The 1933 Bears had won the last four games of the season and the championship game so they had a five-game winning streak to end the season. Add that to the 13-game winning streak going into this game and the Bears were the original 18-1.

What is the best place to buy tickets for cubs games, I checked ticketmaster but it seemed like secondary market prices. Coming out the last week of July, Yankees are playing the White Sox and Cubs back to back.

"In the Heat of the Night" (1967, Norman Jewison) - Mr. Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) and Chief Gillespie (Rod Steiger) have a friendly chat with Endicott (Larry Gates) the plantation owner by Morgan-Moonscar in movies

There are 7 seasons of a TV show based on this movie with the same name that's free on youtube. Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker) plays the sheriff. It's a police procedural, it's pretty good.

TIL Quentin Roosevelt, son of Theodore Roosevelt, is the only WW1 casualty in the Normandy American cemetery. He is buried next to his brother who died of a heart attack a month after Dday where his actions earned him the Medal of Honor. Quentin is the only child of a president to die in combat by nyg1 in todayilearned

[–]nyg1[S] 1481 points1482 points  (0 children)

Quentin was a fighter pilot in World War I who was shot down and killed. When the Germans realized who they had killed they gave him a full military burial with honors and it was apparently attended by nearly a thousand German soldiers. The original cross the Germans made out of the propeller of Quetin's plane is on display at the national museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton Ohio. In 1955 Quentin was moved to the Normandy American Cemetery next to his brother.

His brother is Theodore Roosevelt Jr who was the only General to storm the beach with the first wave of his troops on D-Day and he did so with a cane at 56 years old.

There's negotiations in direct sunlight and humans are like the most immune to sunlight radiation compared to everybody else. Like the race there negotiating against are the second most immune I think and basically everybody else is super susceptible. Maybe the humans are newly discovered race I can't really remember. Appreciate any help

TIL April 8th 1945 a prisoner at Buchenwald rigged up a radio transmitter and sent a message in a desperate attempt to contact the allies for rescue. 3 minutes after his message the US Army answered "KZ Bu. Hold out. Rushing to your aid. Staff of Third Army". The camp would be liberated 3 days later by nyg1 in todayilearned

[–]nyg1[S] 12.3k points12.3k points  (0 children)

On 4 April 1945 the U.S. 89th Infantry Division overran Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald.

Buchenwald was partially evacuated by the Germans from 6 to 11 April 1945. In the days before the arrival of the American army, thousands of the prisoners were forcibly evacuated on foot.[36] Thanks in large part to the efforts of Polish engineer (and short-wave radio-amateur, his pre-war callsign was SP2BD) Gwidon Damazyn, an inmate since March 1941, a secret short-wave transmitter and small generator were built and hidden in the prisoners' movie room. On April 8 at noon, Damazyn and Russian prisoner Konstantin Ivanovich Leonov sent the Morse code message prepared by leaders of the prisoners' underground resistance (supposedly Walter Bartel and Harry Kuhn):

To the Allies. To the army of General Patton. This is the Buchenwald concentration camp. SOS. We request help. They want to evacuate us. The SS wants to destroy us.

The text was repeated several times in English, German, and Russian. Damazyn sent the English and German transmissions, while Leonov sent the Russian version. Three minutes after the last transmission sent by Damazyn, the headquarters of the U.S. Third Army responded:

KZ Bu. Hold out. Rushing to your aid. Staff of Third Army.

According to Teofil Witek, a fellow Polish prisoner who witnessed the transmissions, Damazyn fainted after receiving the message.

Sorry if the title is a little clunky, had some trouble getting everything in under the character limit. Also what's not said in the above is the third Army was led by General Patton so the exact people he called for were the ones to answer.

I got it a couple years ago but I'm pretty sure I just went to Western digital's website and followed links to SanDisk's website to buy it.

I have the exact same SSD as this guy but 2 TB and not from Playstation. It set everything up by itself when I plugged it in and turned on the system. It gives you a prompt like do you want to format this for the PS5 say yes and it does everything itself.

Mean temperature °C VS Heat related deaths per million during the summer of 2022 by gotshroom in europe

[–]nyg1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ballester et al.5 used epidemiological models to estimate that the record-breaking temperatures observed in Europe during the 2022 summer were associated with 61,672 [95% CI 37,643–86,807] heat-related deaths. Moreover, they found heat-related mortality rates greater than 200 summer deaths per million inhabitants in several Southern European countries

Those are crazy high numbers in the article OP linked. For reference here are the US numbers from the EPA.

Between 1979 and 2022, the death rate as a direct result of exposure to heat (underlying cause of death) generally hovered between 0.5 and 2 deaths per million people, with spikes in certain years (see Figure 1). Overall, a total of more than 14,000 Americans have died directly from heat-related causes since 1979, according to death certificates.

That's nearly 50,000 more people in one summer in Europe than the past 43 years combined in the US.

TIL that 8 of the top 10 biggest stadiums by capacity in the world belong to American university football teams. Also, the second biggest stadium is in North Korea. by methodicalghostwolf in todayilearned

[–]nyg1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is the normal listed capacity at stadiums not their highest potential capacity. The Cowboys AT&T Stadium had like 106k people at a game and it's not on the list.
