HOW I MET YOUR @Wrexham_AFC I played "soccer" in HS and college. I loved the sport but hard to find in America growing up either live or on TV. As an adult I followed @LFC Mostly because big 6 were easy to find from North America and LFC are easy to like. 1/15

@ayeshavisk41781 7 men have 7 wives= 49 wives. Each man (7) and each wife (49) have 7 kids= 7+49=56 x7= 392 kids. 56 adults + 392 kids = 448 people

What's the answer..?? 99.9% will fail

@lippyent A cord

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@ayeshavisk41781 Oh poo. Go the other way 35311

@ayeshavisk41781 11353

99.9% will fail..!! Tell me the number that is bigger than this..??

@histories_arch It's a weird way of wording it to American ears but because the sword was not declared treasure the boy was declared the owner. When the sword was purchased in 1977 for the amount of $17,000 (roughly) the boy got the loot.

The Gilling Sword discovered in April 1976 by a 9 year old boy in the Gilling Beck, Gilling West, Yorkshire. The boy found the sword close to the edge of the bank in approx 5 inches of water. The sword was not declared treasure at the inquest and was bought by the Yorkshire Museum at auction the following year. The sword is 838mm in length, with the pattern welded blade being 700mm from the lower guard to the tip. The pommel is a ‘trilobate’ type, and the hilt has 5 silver strips fitted to the grip (now perished). The strips all show evidence of niello inlay, emphasising the pattern. The sword is late Anglo-Saxon, classified as ‘Style L’, a classification of sword styles established by the archaeologist Jan Petersen in the early 20th century. Shortly before the sword was discovered there were widening and cleaning works being carried out to the stream which may have disturbed a burial which caused the sword to fall into the stream. Other theories include a ritual deposit or a casual loss whilst fording the stream. Interestingly, as of the late 1980’s, more late Anglo-Saxon swords are known of from river finds than those found in burials, and most of these have been found near to suspected bridges/fording points. The sword is currently on display in the Yorkshire Museum, York, as part of the Viking North exhibition. #archaeohistories

@RussofjrRusso @BBCWorld That surprised me Fran coming from a veteran. I remember taking seemingly nonstop blocks of instruction on what where illegal orders, what was our responsibility and how important it was to not follow illegal orders and what to do if we receive them

@BBCWorld Shocker. Didn’t see that coming. 😆 Not a chance for me after that video. Casting doubt in soldiers decision making for political theater is an automatic disqualifier for me. He will con some of the anti Trump contingent. That’s about it.

@amazing_physics It has 3 day seasons?

Astronomers Just Found an Earth-Sized Planet Only 40 Light Years Away — And It Could Be Habitable Scientists have announced the discovery of Gliese 12 b, an Earth-sized planet located just 40 light years from us. Detected in May 2024 using NASA’s TESS telescope, the planet is almost exactly Earth’s size and likely rocky. It orbits a small, cool red dwarf star called Gliese 12, which is only about 27% the size of our Sun. Even more intriguing — it completes an orbit every 12.8 days, placing it right in the star’s habitable zone. That means temperatures could be just right for liquid water — and possibly life. According to researchers, this planet is one of the most promising candidates yet for understanding whether Earth-like worlds can hold onto atmospheres and support stable climates. Gliese 12 is also unusually calm for a red dwarf, producing less harmful radiation that could strip away an atmosphere. The next step? Scientists are preparing the James Webb Space Telescope to study Gliese 12 b in detail. Webb will analyze its atmosphere and search for clues such as water vapor, clouds, and even potential biosignatures. If the planet still has a thin atmosphere, it might resemble a cooler version of Venus or even a close cousin of Earth. At only 40 light years away, Gliese 12 b is practically a neighbor in cosmic terms — and one of our best chances yet to study what makes a world truly habitable.

@Papi_Golf @ESPNNFL Probably because the 1994 draft class sucked for quarterbacks Undrafted free agent quarterbacks in 1994 were pretty spectacular. And there was so much said about it that they actually made a movie about it.

@ESPNNFL Trent Dilfer was The first QB from his draft Class 1994 to win a Super Bowl Too! Didn’t hear you say Sh_t about that? Wonder Why??

Sam Darnold is the first QB from the star-studded 2018 draft class to win a Super Bowl 👏

@scoopschap @ATRightMovies No bro the whole set is moving. The curtain the booth the chairs it's all on a platform The platform is moving closer to the background

@ATRightMovies Green screen?

One of Martin Scorsese's greatest shots in GOODFELLAS. Watch as De Niro and Liotta don't move in the frame but the background seems to get closer. It was a dolly zoom done to symbolise the walls closing in on Henry.

@archeohistories I seem to remember George W speaking Spanish

America hasn’t had a President who was fluent in a language other than English since World War II.... Before the mid 20th Century, multilingualism among US presidents was not unusual. In fact, it was often expected. Early American leaders were shaped by classical education and long diplomatic careers abroad. John Adams was fluent in French and used it daily while serving as a diplomat in Europe. Thomas Jefferson spoke French fluently and read Latin Greek Italian and Spanish. He believed learning languages sharpened moral and political judgment. James Monroe also spoke French fluently from his years in Paris during the early years of the republic. The most gifted linguist to ever hold the office was John Quincy Adams. He spoke or read at least six languages and often wrote personal diary entries switching between them mid sentence. Martin Van Buren grew up speaking Dutch and learned English later in life making him the only president whose first language was not English. Even Theodore Roosevelt read French and German fluently and consumed books in multiple languages daily. By the time Roosevelt entered office in 1933, that tradition was already fading. After World War II, English dominance in global diplomacy and shifting educational priorities made multilingual presidents increasingly rare even as the nation itself grew more linguistically diverse. John Quincy Adams once served as US minister to Russia and learned Russian well enough to negotiate directly with court officials without an interpreter. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

@ZebesMoon @douglasrbarros @archeohistories There is only one country with the word "America" in its name.

@douglasrbarros @archeohistories When people talk about "Americans" I always wonder if they mean someone from Alberta, Kansas, Belize, Peru? Like, be specific 😂

@fasc1nate What is the purpose of these fake AI generated posts?

@MarkLucera1 @konstructivizm Probably because it reads like AI wrote it

@konstructivizm No replies? Oof.

This photo, dug up and posted by Indiana State University in Terre Haute, shows their unicorn-rare 6-inch Unitron refractor, one of the finest amateur telescopes money could buy in the late 1950s. I’m pretty sure this shot is from 1961, right when it was the pride of the campus.For twenty-six years it sat forgotten under a dusty dome, lenses blind, mount seized, a Cold War relic gathering cobwebs while the world moved on to Hubble and smartphones.Then, miracle of miracles, a team of professors, alumni, and stubborn astronomy nerds decided it deserved a second life. They stripped it to the bones, cleaned decades of grime, rebuilt the clock drive, polished the optics until they sang again, and even got the 1960s dome rotating smoothly for the first time since the Beatles were still together.Two nights ago was the Grand Reopening. The place was packed: students who weren’t alive when the scope went dark, old-timers who remembered using it back when Jupiter had only twelve known moons, and a bunch of us random night-sky junkies who just couldn’t miss the resurrection.I was there, phone in one hand, jaw on the floor with the other. Filmed the whole ceremony and a quick tour of the reborn observatory. Link’s in the comments, go see this phoenix rise for yourself.
