Professor of history at Law faculty, when my spouse studied there, used to ask students what was the name of the horse that Napoleon rode. At that age before Internet and Google, few were able to dig up that fact…
I am born year 2000. My first console was a fairly cheap joystick with multiple old ass games on it. So Pong and Pac-man where some of my first games too XD
I played Pong in a bar in 1974.

They found the depth of the Marianas trench via rope. Iirc, they had pre-measured lengths of rope and they just dropped them over board to see how many lengths it took for the rope to stop falling.

Day 4 of asking VTH to react to Operation Bagration for its upcoming 80th anniversary
I am not aware of any papal documents specifically condemning cats. There was, understandably, a bull condemning a devil worshipping cult, which identified the worship of black cats as a characteristic of this cult. While people may have taken that association too far, that's not at all "a war on cats."
17:52 He said "cheers" but not in Russian but Polish (Na zdrowie)
which is funny cuz Vodka was invented in 1460s Poland and not in Russia haha.
26:39 Be careful when saying that, depending on the crowd here in this country they may not take it so kindly
Not sure if he was making a joke, but eisenhowers middle name was David not whatever he said
If I could add, Higenbothem was an MIT grad who worked on electrical systems used on the Manhattan Project. He worked on Fat Man and Little Boy, then went to work in Massachusetts after the war and became a staunch anti-war figure until he passed around '92.
The game Tennis for Two was made on a whim, while he worked at a government lab and it was to be a display game for a one day event, showing off his department's accomplishments.
They kept it up for two years.
It brought ppl in repeatedly. They only disassembled it when they needed the oscilloscope.
This was all lost to history until PC Magazine interviewed Higenbothem in '82 or so. The story 100% checked out and he became the 'inventor of the world's first video game'. *
The game itself only took a few hours to write and a couple of days to program and build. He never thought the invention would be worth anything so he forgot about it for a decade.
* That was publicaly available to play. There had been earlier 'video' games in various forms, but only in the lab or classroom.
I think youll like the videos talking about Teddy Roosevelt and Winston Churchill done by the channel Whiskey Tribe
