For the longest time I thought this dish was called welsh rabbitt, and I was so confused as to why it just looked like cheesy bread.

Marinara is a tomato based red sauce. Has nothing to do with protein.

Take the hot stock and slowly stir it into the uncooked cream.

Movie was so good I bought it for full price. Most movies that aren't Minions, Disney, or Marvel/DC really need all the help they can get these days.

Not OP but I really like this one as somebody who was raised on the original:

It says healthier mostly because they put shredded zuchini in it. It's not a low-calorie "it looks like real food but tastes like nothing" recipe. I omit the zuchini but might try it one day.

It's a low quality sausage covered in meat-sauce and cheese, what's not to like?

Is this a stealth Canada Dry ad? Why is the can turned very specifically to show the full logo but also not how the person eating this meal would leave the can if they were drinking it.
I get showing off random beers, but ginger ale?

Most historical sources from that time are highly Apocryphal.
- The modern numeric system we use today did not exist
- The people who eventually created "historic" version of these " documents" were born hundreds of years after they supposedly existed, and never actually lived in the places where these events occurred. And even those sources "reporting" on contemporary events are often highly exaggerated. It's very unlikely the Roman Republic could field 100,000 soldiers in a single battle, let alone do it again multiple times in a century. Those same "historians" we source on figures of this era can't even be relied upon to provide accurate numbers on things that happened when they were alive. And in fact they likely inflated or just made them up.
- Those people likely relied on multiple levels of translations from languages that no longer existed or they did not understand. Provided to them by people who also did not understand those languages.
- It was very beneficial to spread stories of great historical civilizations at the time as fact. It was not easy to disprove any claims and you could make a lot of money writing and orating stories about great historical empires and events.
Given historical comparisons, the logistics and technologies of the time, I think having 10,000 people living together in a "city" would be quite a feat. Add in communication (almost everybody is what you would consider illiterate), logistics, difficulty of travel, would mean that 10% of a population being able to muster for war would be...optimistic.
It's likely "great battles" of the time took place between hundreds of soldiers on each side. Thousands could have been possible but very rare.

Those numbers are almost certainly nonsense. Given logistics of the time it's incredibly unreasonable that they could communicate to get that many people in a single place, and then somehow feed them and provide water.
Relying on those sources for numbers just does not matter because the modern form on "numbers" we use doesn't even exist yet.

Yup have ruined some pretty major spoilers by seeing that the actor whose name I couldn't remember is no longer in the show after X episodes.

I'm thinking english isn't their first language. Or they are from a place like Australia where they speak englsih but had weird names for things.
Because I've never heard of somebody call that anything other than a steak.

It's because that statue likely ends up on the thumbnail and looks a lot cooler/more impressive.
