Interesting because they’ve published things on home media in Europe fairly quickly and consistently. You just have to import them. At least most of the shows I’ve been interested in (Marvel Defenders, etc)

And Babe Ruth and Sammy Sosa weren’t hitting against the same kind of pitchers. I’d say Ruth and Gibson were probably facing pitchers and fielders with more in common than those of different eras. Stats always come with context. Doesn’t mean they don’t belong together in the same list.
Interesting. I didn’t know there would be minimums like that.
The only people doing this are loaded with enough cash or assets to not have to take out a mortgage. They’ll be fine.
You can’t get a new mortgage without insurance
Anyone going without home insurance is paying cash for their house. No bank would give someone a mortgage on a property that could turn to ashes with no insurance.
My thoughts exactly.
Exactly my thought re: King James. Hilarious.
But what do you mean by the “original text” which is challenging to even determine given the relatively recent age and conditions of most manuscripts of both new and old testaments.
The MPAA rating system didn’t start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you’d expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).
So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.
Does “Jaws” count? It wouldn’t be PG these days but I’d say it counts as horror.
“The Birds” was technically unrated when it came out. I’ve seen it rated as PG-13 now, but not sure what that’s based on since it is from way before PG-13.
Horrible way to display this.
In states with no income taxes and mostly regressive taxes like sales taxes and other consumption tax, the rich with large income (who always disproportionately account for all income in any state) pay a very low share of their income in taxes. Some people will be paying 10% of their income in taxes because their entire income is spent every month and taxed as consumption (sales taxes). While others pay only 2% of their income in taxes because a good portion of their income goes into savings and tax-free retirement accounts and not on consumption.
Meanwhile states with a progressive income tax ensure that (closer to) everyone pays a more fair share of their income. So the rich end up paying more of their income. While lower income families pay a lower sales tax rate (and/or are able to see the benefits of better social programs funded by the taxes on the wealthy)
Someone has to sell them new in order to get them thrift.
12 of the first 28 Presidents of the USA (which is the time Fitzgerald was doing his thing) had Irish heritage. 3 of them were first generation Irish (parents born in Ireland). Most of the police force of NYC was stereotyped as being all Irish by this point.
Yes, there were areas and times they were disadvantaged, but don’t even compare it to women and non-whites at the time.
…If you were white, male, and probably reasonably affluent.
I don’t remember sidewinder missiles ever coming up in Star Wars
I initially read that as “Florida scrambles to get retired teachers to return to combat.”
Which isn’t really wrong either.
That’s what most evolution is. For sure. Not imagining there a will behind it
My understanding: Viruses don’t mutate to kill hosts. They mutate to survive and be passed on. It’ll continue to get more mild but more contagious.
That’s why the flu from the 1919 pandemic was bad but short lived. COVID is following a similar pattern.
Different than bacteria and antibiotics. That’s a mess of our own making.
Hopefully this isn’t too pedantic, but it shouldn’t say “first name” on any of these. It should say “given name” or “personal name”.
The entire point of the map is that it isn’t the first name for some cultures.
Every decade after the 1920s has been special for cinema for the generation that treasured it.
That used to be really common. Movie novelizations would come out before the movie, along with soundtracks, etc. It was part of the promotional campaign.
