marvel - When did Captain America learn what happened to Howard Stark?


Near the end of Captain America: Civil War we learn that



Howard and Maria Stark were assassinated by the Winter Soldier



and Captain America admits that he already knew.


But how did he find out? I don't recall this being revealed in any of the previous movies, and I can't think of a reason why the characters who already knew would have gone out of their way to tell Steve about it.




Answer



He learns in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.


When Captain America and Black Widow find the hidden SHIELD bunker that contains Arnim Zola's AI, one of the things that Zola explains is how HYDRA infiltrated SHIELD from the beginning. Rogers asks how that's possible and how no one found out, and Zola replies that over the years, "accidents have been made to happen".


His video screen then flashes through a series of "accidents" that he's basically admitted to being arranged by HYDRA, and the first image in that of Howard Stark.


Earlier in the movie, Black Widow had revealed that The Winter Soldier had been killing people for ~50 years.


Once Cap discovered Bucky's identity and that he's working for HYDRA, and that it was Bucky who arranged Nick Fury's "accident", it wouldn't have been much of a leap at all to figure out that he's also the one that assassinated the others Zola bragged about. (Note that when Tony first confronts him, he actually say something like "I didn't know it was him", but doesn't push the issue, implying that he didn't know for sure that Bucky was the assassin, but had come to that conclusion anyway.)

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
