@Stromboli1  do you like her ass?  Her channel is mostly about her workouts which earned her massive glutes.  I think however, she took it a bit too far.

@Enrico_sw  I highly admire people who can turn their passions into profitable businesses and enduring works like a youtube channel and popular books.  
 

Whenever I see channels like this I am reminded how I would like to do something similar and start my own channel on teaching the topics that I know.  However, I am currently more interested in accumulating knowledge (eg. this spring I realized that I overlooked some topics in psychology and spirituality (On Dying)) and in reviewing my reading list I won't be done until Jan 2020 on the earliest.  

 

A lot of my teachable content would be military related, the rest would be on various subjects.

I just watched it. Interesting video. He seems to say that Katanas are better for beginners because it's more forgiving. It makes sense. We tend to forget that swordsmanship was a real art in Europe a couple of centuries ago, but we didn't keep the sword mythology as much as the Japanese did with the katana.

 

I don't like Russell Crowe. I think he's mostly a rotten actor with a big mouth....

 

Also, you have to consider that, to us, he kinda plays the enemy (with his king being the tyrannical despot who fights against freedom )

 

I  don't recall that.  I suppose the film has a pro-British bias.  I most recall the good CGI, costumes, writing, and the warm depiction of brotherhood, friendship, curiosity/sense of adventure, and heroism.  

 

I was gifted a katana last year and it too seemed to be rather short & could use some lengthening.  Then I remember that Japanese were very short and malnourished people pre-1950 (Average height of a japanese soldier in WW2 was 5 foot 4 inches, and even shorter in centuries past).  so the sword was designed for a smaller person.  There is also a longer version of the Katana used but it was ultra rare:

Yeah, but she's annoying though. I don't like the split leg ass pose either.

Yes, I'd like to do that too, maybe on astronomy or music. I could talk about women too, but I have BZ for that

I think one of the motivating reasons could be to see it as a way to wrap up your knowledge. When you explain things to other people, you have to organize your knowledge to make it orderly and that's very useful IMHO.

WW1 is not my area of expertise- so no (besides its impact).  A while go I sensed that French comic/historical fantasy seems to have a lot of focus on WW1.  In the US, WW1 is literally the "forgotten war", like korea!

 

What's your favorite battles/topics in WW1/WW2?

It's kinda logical that people in the US remember more WW2, that's what made the US a superpower. In WW1, the US didn't have the same impact.

In France, it's just the opposite: WW1 is the revenge after 1870 and France was among the key countries in victory, whereas WW2 was a severe downfall (so, it's not a very fond memory here).

WW1: Verdun, la Marne.

WW2: Stalingrad, Bastogne, Kursk, Carentan, Overlord.

Not the same one, but I like Emily Blunt a lot! She is a very good actress (and very pretty).

I know it's not the same one, it's better than the real one anyway.
