@NFLonFOX 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Riiiiight. The hate is real, the scars never heal

Imagine a man so brilliant that 2,200 years later, we still speak his name with awe.
A man so ingenious to build pumps for irrigation still used today, mirrors that could burn ships at a distance and much more.
His name was Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287–212 BC).
Born in the ancient Greek city-state of Syracuse in Sicily, this legendary mathematician, physicist, and inventor didn’t just study the world, he bent it to his will.
He calculated π with astonishing precision using the “method of exhaustion,” proved that a sphere’s volume is exactly two-thirds of its surrounding cylinder (a discovery he cherished above all others), and laid the earliest foundations of calculus centuries before Newton.
He also wrote The Sand Reckoner, where he devised a system for expressing extremely large numbers and estimated how many grains of sand would fill the universe.
One day, while stepping into his bath, he discovered the principle of buoyancy, now known as Archimedes’ Principle, and famously ran naked through the streets shouting “EUREKA!” (“I have found it!”). He gave us the law of the lever, boldly declaring: “Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough, and I shall move the Earth.”
But Archimedes wasn’t just a thinker. He was a genius inventor.
He created the Archimedes Screw, a revolutionary water pump still used around the world today. He designed powerful compound pulleys and cranes. And when the Roman army besieged Syracuse during the Second Punic War, he became a one-man defense force, engineering devastating catapults and the fearsome “Claw of Archimedes,” a massive crane that lifted enemy ships out of the water and smashed them against the rocks.
Ancient writings even credit him with inventing burning mirrors, giant arrays of polished bronze that focused the sun’s rays to set Roman warships ablaze from afar. While historians still debate the exact details, modern experiments have proven the idea is scientifically possible under the right conditions.
In 212 BC, when Roman forces finally breached the city, General Marcellus gave strict orders: spare Archimedes. Yet as the great thinker sat drawing mathematical diagrams in the sand, a Roman soldier killed him.
His last words? “Do not disturb my circles!”
His surviving works shaped Galileo, Leibniz, Newton, and the entire Scientific Revolution. He remains one of the greatest minds humanity has ever produced — a bridge between ancient genius and modern science.

@jasrifootball @The_Wenzel_Per The Patriots made major upgrades at 3 positions but a backup is theor biggest acquisition??

@Rainmaker1973 China, North Korea and other socialist countries have also eliminated stray dogs, using other methods.
English

The Netherlands has become the first country in the world to successfully eliminate stray dogs, ensuring that every dog has a home.
This remarkable achievement stems from a combination of strict animal welfare laws, large-scale spaying and neutering programs, and a strong culture of responsible pet ownership. The Dutch government has long supported widespread sterilization initiatives and enforces tough penalties for animal abuse and abandonment.
While an estimated 200 million stray dogs exist worldwide, the Netherlands stands out as a global leader. In Dutch cities, it is common to see dogs riding in bicycle baskets, relaxing under café tables, and even joining their owners on public transport, a reflection of how deeply integrated pets are into everyday life.
The country now serves as an inspiring model for animal welfare, demonstrating how coordinated policy, cultural awareness, and compassion can effectively solve a challenge that continues to affect many other nations.

@historyinmemes OMG! An entire bottle a week??!!
Were weeks shorter back then??? Asking for a friend
English

In 1830, alcohol consumption in the United States reached remarkably high levels. The average American consumed the equivalent of roughly 1.7 bottles of regular-strength whiskey every week.
Historians commonly estimate that during the 1830s, Americans consumed around 7 to 8 gallons of pure alcohol per person each year, an amount that translates into extremely heavy weekly drinking when measured in spirits such as whiskey. Depending on bottle size and alcohol content, that equals roughly 1 to 2 bottles of whiskey per person every week.
One major reason for these levels was that distilled liquor, especially whiskey, was inexpensive, easy to produce, and in many places considered safer than contaminated drinking water. On the frontier, whiskey was even used as a form of currency, helping fuel both its trade and consumption. This era marked one of the highest points of alcohol use in American history and played a major role in the growth of the temperance movement during the 1820s and 1830s, which later shaped broader cultural and legal attitudes toward drinking.

@Jomboy_ That had to be overturned. That could have been crucial. Umps are still trying to in love themselves in the outcomes instead of just doing their jobs. The check swing strikes has been pretty ludicrous. Like the umps are using that to get back at challenging pitches.

From @TheAthletic: Juan Soto should have been a Yankee for the rest of his career, our columnist writes, but it did not turn out that way. Two seasons after his exit, are the they better without him?

Tim Hardaway Sr. compares LeBron James to James Harden and says he doesn’t have a killer instinct.
"Magic, Michael, Kareem, Kobe had killer instincts. ... I love LeBron, but at times he doesn't bring it the way we want him to bring it, like James Harden."
