I like how he's credited as a character from a different series.

They ended up banning him for a different reason: https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c309pj8d8qqo

The IOC added that Heraskevych had been banned for contravening athlete guidelines, rather than because of displaying political propaganda.

Luge isn't like bobsled where they do a running push start and then jump in. Luge starts seated on the sled and they throw themselves onto the course with some handles on poles embedded in the ground at the start point (its sort of a rowing motion). The spikes are probably to use as breaking.

Maybe, he's actually sad because he forgot he didn't have his wallet.

It's the bag for his gas mask.

You're still confusing net and gross there. Let's say they spent $70 mil on marketing and distribution. $170+$70=$240 million in costs. Let's also say they get 75% of box office sales. 410*.75=$307.5. 307.5-240 = $67.5. $67.5 million in profit. Again, they almost certainly made a profit, but not nearly as big of one as the $200 million you proposed.

The $170 million budget is just movie production, it doesn't include marketing and distribution. The $410 million at the box office is gross, not net. It's what the tickets cost the customers not how much made it back to the production company. They almost certainly made a profit, but not nearly as big of one as the $200 million you propose.

It's not a sequel, it's a reboot. They decided to skip most of WWI (which everyone agrees was really boring and mostly just set up for WWII), and they swapped in Americans for the Germans to appeal to a wider audience.

Swiss government says it's going to go ahead and hold on to that money until everyone forgets about it.

Not just data centers. Do that to everything. Find where to put a line; if you're using x% of the local power you have to pay more for power. Flip that shit so massive electric consumers are paying for everyone else.

I don't know what those labels are, but they're not latitude.
