"We also chose to use real knives, which sounds absurd, but we wanted to be authentic."

I'm inclined to agree with him... They were playing a game of Russian roulette. An unbelievably reckless decision that everyone involved should have known *would* go wrong at some point, and everyone should have refused to take any part in. You can't rely on actors to safely handle deadly weapons while they simultaneously need to dedicate all their focus to their performances.

Looks like a 10 year old's crayon drawing.

I could understand portholes on the 1st floor, if not for the full sized windows elsewhere, but why on the upper floors, and why the mixture of some round and some square?

‘The 13th Warrior’ (1999)

Actually a pretty good film. Just started out slow (and gross), but turned into a solid guy movie. I'd say it fell victim to bad advertising... Commercials I saw just showed Antonio Banderas dressed in sheets & acting like a whiny coward. Really didn't capture the (action/battle) feel of the film. Critics were harsh, too, but audiences rated it 66% positive.

And their list goes back to 1995, but DOESN'T include Waterworld???

Sounds like they saved Sylvia's life, and that particular cub would have been a very poor fit for a zoo. Quick search reveals "Grizzly cubs face high mortality rates, with about 45% of first-year cubs and 40% of yearlings (ages one to four) dying" so his odds of survival even with his mother around could have been just as bad, or perhaps worse. The wilderness is a rough place, and making it a year on his own suggests he did reasonably well for himself.

Don't nearly-all youtubers have that same handheld gimbal selfie stick? Stick a coffee mug on that...

"Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm."

And SciShow, 8+ million subscribers going for 13+ years at this point, is still making videos like a powerpoint rookie giving their very first public presentation...
Don’t read from your PowerPoint slides
You could forgive people for thinking that receiving the message in two ways, on screen and verbally, will help to reinforce it, but actually the exact opposite is true.

a village hires a ragtag group of mercenaries
As I recall, they were working for food... It was a rather charitable act that they risked their lives for the villagers.

The "migration path" lines generating pop-ups on mouse over makes the map entirely unusable, IMHO. You've got to hide those (which makes the map less useful) THEN you can mouse-over properly, and click around to see individual location info.

Kind of interesting to see individuals who just went from some small town a sort distance to the big city nearby, but the map doesn't show their names, net worth, dates, etc. And of course, plenty of people were born in a location where they didn't didn't spend much time at all before moving, so some/many of these billionaires may have no connection to their birthplace.

Small folding grocery carts that hold a couple full bags are available. If you need much more than that, a collapsible wagon will hold a whole shopping trip worth, and cost under $40.

I hate having to deal with the bum anti-theft wheel when pushing a shopping cart thru the store, but I admit I've seen people who take a cart home with them every week and just leave dozens of them there... can't ever be bothered to push even one of them back, so I guess making that bad behavior more of a hassle somehow is necessary.
