I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist.

I can’t even process what’s going on with the reflection in the mirror being from an angle at about head height over the bed. I like that they didn’t even trust teen gamers to understand the allusion of a woman standing in a bedroom doorway without comping in this extra element.
Actually the Normans, who were Vikings who rocked up in France and caused such a stink that the crown granted them lands in the north to shut them up. 1066 was basically a succession crisis between three cousins vying for the English crown.
