Segregated Witness (BIP by Pieter Wuile, Eric Lombrozo, and Johnson Lau) and Taproot (BIPs by Pieter Wuille, Jonas Nick, Tim Ruffing, and Anthony Towns) are the two largest changes ever made to the Bitcoin protocol.  The former fundamentally changed the structure of Bitcoin transactions, and in the process Bitcoin blocks, to address inherent limitations of the previous transaction structure.

By the time the Mummy franchise got around to 2008’s The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, much had changed. Mainly, the franchise’s co-star, Rachel Weisz, was now an Oscar winner and a mother. So, when the script came around for a new installment that brought back both her and Brendan Fraser’s characters, Weisz declined.
