I get it that Creed (2nd fight), Lang and Drago are supposed to be shown as these hugely intimidating and immovable opponents, to make Rocky’s victories through adversity all the more impressive but… surely he could’ve exchanged knockdowns with these guys instead of regularly being knocked down twice per round?

I get it that it’s a film and we have to suspend disbelief but damn any sane referee would’ve stopped those fights early and given his opponents the TKO victory. Rocky’s determination in the first Creed fight to only go down twice made it feel super gritty and realistic for me. Plus when he knocked down Creed in the first round, I genuinely found it to be a really shocking cinematic moment

Does anybody remember this? What was it like? I think it was different compared to the Mickey Thompson series, which I think was car racing tracks backwards. Any stories, photos or videos would be appreciated! Very curious about a seemingly forgotten part of dirt bike history.

For context, my wife is 36 and went to a school that didn’t value IT at all, meaning she had minimal lessons and the school used Linux. I don’t think she used any Microsoft (MS) apps until she was 18/19!

She’s also never had an ‘office job’ and has spent the last 12+ years working in childcare at nurseries (kindergarten teacher equivalent for any US readers), so time spent doing office admin and using MS apps was at an absolute minimum - a lot of the reports she wrote for the children was her filling out forms in handwriting.

I’ve (32 y.o) worked office jobs since I was 21 and used Windows at school but Macs and mostly Google suite since I was about 23. I’m helping her as much as possible with simple stuff like pinning apps to the dock, adding calendar appointments, etc but is there anything you can throw out there for her to be aware of or do, or whatever?

For anybody thinking “just ask AI”, we don’t know what to ask AI if we don’t know about it existing. She’s just feeling a bit overwhelmed because the cultural expectation here in the UK is for everybody to know how to easily work MS Office from the time they leave school but she was simply dealt a bad hand as a kid and this is her first opportunity to properly learn and her first time actually needing to know how to use these apps.
