Jackson polyps doing diarrhea on a canvas and Hannibal rapping Hard in the paint are two of the most iconic moments ever on TV

Im doing my second rewatch of GoT and I come to realize how exaggerated in the plot is this weird obsession of Tywin and Cersei to check Tyrion for sleeping with prostitutes for a reason that is never quite explained. For example, Littlefinger who is a government official and practically the third most powerful person in the city literally makes a living from the most renowned whorehouse in the kingdom, and he sits and advices the King. The brothel itself is frequented by Lannisters which is often mentioned. Then you have Jamie who confesses that he has only slept with Cersei but who nonetheless has a reputation for having women chase after him. You have Jofrey behaving like Caligula and all his antics. Robert Baratheon had all kinds of kids with these women. The list just piles on and on, but somehow Tywin especially is always critical that Tyrion does not sleep with a whore, as if they care? Like they are constantly reminding him of how he is good for nothing, but at the same time how he is responsible for the death of their mother/wife but at the same time they dont want to give him any responsibility.
Or even Trajan map of Rome? I dont mean necessarily a map where the timeline has changed or even the government form or the characters, I just want the map
So rather than sending new replacements made up of drafts and green recruits to replenish the army units that had loses, they had decided to consolidate the units that had already experience into the war and had loses and made them into super elite divisions of experienced soldiers and then new divisions formed with the new manpower coming in. This was the way they managed these situations in the roman army and even all the way to the Napoleonic wars, you had the Old and middle guard which was made up of already seasoned soldiers from other regiments
I tried asking Google or looking for other posts but I keep getting other cases where this may have been used as a side argument or perhaps implied.
What im asking is if theres anyone out there in the past that has actually tried to make this main anchor point for their defense
Its not just Tom Holland who supports this idea but other historians have pointed this out and the conversation remains divided. Personally, the argument that Nero would have started the fire intentionally so that he could grab more of the city area for himself is just ridiculous. After the fire Nero had to not only empty the coffers completely in the process of building his new palace but also Rome, he also had to raise massive taxes on the whole empire for it which incidentally caused the provincial rebellions and eventual rebellions by Galba. Even the praetorian guard abandoned him when they realized he had no money left.
So if his intention had been as vane as that it would have been quite a lot more cheaper to simply purchase the land from the people he wanted to and build a luxurious palace. His predecessors had already in fact enlarged and built grander sections in the palatine hill with merely portions of the treasury. The fire Rome indeed caused Nero downfall because Nero had an impulsive and stubborn personality to not listen to advice and rather than rebuild Rome slowly with the amount of money he had, he decided to raise taxes which caused the rebellion and financial crisis.
To demonstrate how ridiculous this is we had to end up buying 6 for $6 then doing a second purchase again for 6 for $6 dollars because the cashier doesnt understand math
Ive heard so much about this production throughout the years and seen several clips on YouTube but there doesnt seem to be any place at all where I can purchase the DVD or stream it. I see people in this subreddit that claim to have watched it before so where did you watch it?
Now I dont know which ones to purchase for my rigging. I definitely want to make this time around the stays ratlines and any rope that stays put using black color and then rigging rope a lighter color, but what diameter?? Im so excited!
Everytime I replay AC Black flag I install a 3 decker 100+ cannon ship instead of the Jackdaw because its extremely unrealistic if you know about ships of the age of sail. The only issue is that AC Black flag original mods dont work on the resynched version so Im stuck using the Jackdaw
So this post is solely about ropes. Let me give you a short background, Ive made two other ships, the Heller Victory and the Soleil Royal. In both occasions I've used just standard waxxed cotton white ropes for the ships, mainly 0.2 and 0.6milimiters for the ratlines. The issue is Ive seen plenty of other people making strikingly beautiful contrasts on ropes like black and white, or making the ratlines one color and stay cables but then rigging ropes another and so on.
I want to be ambitious about this ship and do something of higher quality. So here are my questions?
What manufacturer makes good quality ropes that are as little as 0.2mm to 0.8mm good for this?
What type of color code works best?? Should ratliens be darker? What about the stay cables that hold masts? What about the rigging? Should the ropes that hold the eyelets and blocks be one color, but the rope for rigging be another?
What type of diameter is best for anchors, ratlines, rigging (my ships is 1:75)
Im also sending private messages to other ship makers I see on Instagram and YouTube but Ive not gotten a lot of answers.
Ive seen some amazing works here in this subreddit so id rather ask here. This will take some time to research properly before I buy anything so please be patient in answering my questions if you want to help
I tried asking this hypothetical question on Google and also AI but they keep giving me contradicting answers.
Would the person that arrests the probable culprit face charges for arresting the other person? And if so would they need to prove probable cause, meaning the reason why they tried to arrest the person?
Would the arrested person have the option to file a civil lawsuit? Would the law be the one filing a criminal case? How would that work?
I carry a side pistol for when it doesnt work but man I've been blasting flashbangs with the whole team like all 5 of us flashbangs at once and it does generally work so far in the first 6 maps I've not gotten further yet on this update. Just a cool idea to share
I want to pluck these hairs above my eyebrow but I feel my frontal bone has these two prominent salients above my eyebrow that if pluck them it will become more prominent or make me look weird. What do you guys think?
If the employer fired you in the spot after they said all they had to say. Could an employee hypothetically claim that they were wrongfully terminated for something that didnt happen on work hours, nor is it related to their job at the moment nor did it happen to an employee since they were a costumer at the time?
And before you guys answer im well aware of Agent Ratliff and Occupational Care Diversity Affairs company where they come to your work and do this😂 this just a hypothetical
It would be nice if they gave the player base some heads up news more often. The 0.4 update news were terrible like they literally went way past the 6 month gap into 7 months and a half before they finally admitted that it would take them 1 year.
​
Before the comments begin, im not saying that they have to release every 6 months. What im saying is, share more information and timelines with the playerbase instead of keeping people in the dark like they unquestionably did in 0.4
The worst part is that you be waiting it out for the loot to respawn and then someone else shows up to also loot. Theres simply too many people crammed into one server. Either that or reduce the spawn time for loot
