Henry Cavill for The Witcher:

This schedule culminated in complete water restriction on the final two days, including the day of shooting the shirtless scenes. Cavill explained that the goal was to make his skin “sit on the muscles” for optimal visual impact, a tactic commonly used by fitness models for photo shoots.

[...]

Describing the ordeal on The Graham Norton Show, Cavill admitted the experience was intense and taxing. “By the last day, I could smell water nearby,” he joked, emphasizing just how miserable he felt. The extreme dehydration was so draining he dubbed himself “the most miserable person on the planet.”

Obviously it's pointing to Dr. Mark Watney.

Does anyone even breed actual war horses anymore? When was the last time cavalry saw combat as part of a regular army, WWI?

It might literally require generations to raise enough and train them to field a functional cavalry regiment. Are there even people living today who know how to train horses for battlefield conditions?

One of those dudes literally didn't drink water for unhealthy periods of time in order to make his muscle definition stand out more on camera.

The "they" that make the decision not to invest in proper documentation are not the "they" who will have to answer the same question over and over... that's somebody else's problem.

Do not patronize these systems, regardless of how small you think your individual impact might be. User counts are used to justify continued investments in these things.

People need to just say no.

HA hA Ha!

Everybody has to play along with our delusions, or the market crashes because we're ridiculously over leveraged!

Muah ha hah! Mine is an evil laugh!

I just found a channel that has amazing, hours-long documentaries about the space program that uses original sources, including audio from real missions, that’s better than anything I’ve seen, even on PBS.

Well don't keep it to yourself, man.

Right, because they weren't wacko authoritarian isolationists. Choosing to participate in international relationships is a thing that mature, stable governments do.

Attacking your neighbors for self-enrichment is a thing that tyrannical dictators do. Attacking your own people to increase your political power is a thing that nutjob authoritarians do.
