Do you think the murders in general achieved the notoriety they did because of the Mary Kelly murder?

With Mary Kelly suffering a horrific fate, clearly the killer's gruesome magnum opus (if you subscribe to the theory she was the last), it can be argued that the nature of her death and mutilation being the most prolific of all the murders. If it had not happened, and the killer had stopped at Eddowes, do you think the murders would have achieved the same interest?

What are some of the missing records that have been returned or found?

As you know a lot of the records pertaining to the Whitechapel Murders have either been purposefully destroyed by the Met to free up space, pilfered by researchers and trophy hunters or lost among the other multitudes of paperwork.

What documents or ephemera have turned up in recent times?

Who was your biggest crush and what are they doing now?

Mine was an ass in school and still is an ass now. Had the most vivid and perfect dark emerald eyes though.

I have no one to talk to, where can I go?

28 M, pretty embarrassed really. Never fit in during childhood, any friends I did have all moved away for university and I was left behind, if they couldn't make the effort I didn't want to bother them.

So now I just work, come home and bore myself with YouTube. The work atmosphere I'm in is pretty jaded and toxic and I'm not wanting to be friends with any of them but the hours I work are quite prohibitive of any decent social time, that is if I'm not too tired to do anything afterwards.

Sorry if this post is not allowed. I'm not sure how else to articulate this.

ELI5 When a TV or streaming service licenses content to show on their platform, how is the actual show put on there?

For example, let's say Netflix wants to bring an old BBC comedy to its platform and provided the licensing fee can be agreed, how would Netflix physically get the programme onto its service? Do they get emailed a load of videos to download and then place on their site? Do they get old tapes they have to digitise? Of course might be dependant on the storage format of the show in question.
