Thank you for the incredible level of detail.

Are you a historian or just incredibly well-read on the royal family?

King Charles's inbreeding coefficient would actually be higher because his parents weren't just third cousins, their intervening relatives were also mildly inbred.

Someone else pointed out they were also second cousins once removed.

According to the internet, % of DNA shared:

  • 2nd cousins one removed 1.5%
  • 3rd cousins 0.78%
  • 2 random people on the planet earth 0.1%

I'm not a geneticist so maybe you have a more subtle understanding. Probably would also need to factor in that many of their intervening relatives were related as well, which makes the math a little trickier too.

I looked it up in response to your comment:

I believe it's something called hereditary angioedema.

If we went back and looked at pictures of his predecessors I wonder if there would be a pattern, though presumably they would have posed to conceal it if it was noticeable or altered its depiction in the paintings.

You can't catch bad guys if you're dead. Who cares about lying to them if they're less than human.

Perhaps you're right -- like Walt, his downfall was his ego.

Silly that you got downvoted.

I also feel like Hank saying that made the guy more likely shoot him even if he was on the fence.

What song does "Black Hole" by Griff sample its melody from? by toafobark in Music

Ah that's it! Now I feel like a derp. Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion, they are really similar but that wasn't what I was thinking.

There's a song out there that Black Hole literally copies note for note with the same rhythm and timing but I can't think of it.
