Thankyou #DisneyPlusStar for giving me #BostonLegal, I loved that series. Seeing Denny Crane and Alan Shore argue legal cases and having a scotch and cigar at the end of the day inspired me to be the lawyer that I am today.

@DiscussingFilm A nice attempt to distract people from the disastrous casting issue

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

The bodycam footage of Henry Nowak has just been released.

An 18-year-old who was stabbed FIVE TIMES called the police for help.

His attacker told officers Henry was a racist.

So they handcuffed the victim.

Henry told them over and over:

"I've been stabbed."
"I can't breathe."
"Please brother, I can't breathe."

An officer responded: "You've been stabbed, mate? I don't think you have."

Henry died in handcuffs.

The mainstream media has said NOTHING.

Where is the same outrage from when George Floyd died?

Watch this footage. Share it everywhere.

Pray for Henry’s family.

@nypost How is that even possible? Surely this is going to open the city to endless litigation.

Kevin O’Leary: "Elon Musk has no noise. He is 100% signal. The guy is 60 seconds of every minute, 60 minutes of every hour."

Well yeah, his achievements pretty much speak for themselves. That's what it takes to be on his level.

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

@travelingflying Sure did, but they didn't release it until late 1977 in Australia. But I remember it well.

@Variety Replacing Luke, Han and Leia with Rey, Finn and Poe to be "the center" of the franchise would have to be one of the worst ideas in history.

Don Rickles was a once in a generation talent in his chosen field of comedy

He could humorously spar with just about anyone

The man has full confidence in his ability to make people laugh with his brand of humor

Geoffrey Boothroyd was a gun aficionado who wrote to IAN FLEMING asking him to change Bond's signature gun – a Beretta.

SEAN CONNERY — on the set of GOLDFINGER (1964) — introduces Boothroyd who shows us why he thought 007 needed a gun with more oomph.
