When Paris was besieged by Prussian troops in 1870, the French used hot air balloons to transport mail and people across enemy lines into Belgium and the Netherlands.

What are you looking at.
There were no regulations that couldn't ever n made unrefrigerated raw milk safe in cities at the time. You either sold milk from cows raised in the city itself(which means cramped quarters and disease) or carted it in on a wagon (which means unrefrigerated milk sitting for hours). Adding formalin likely made it safer, it was so dangerous. The scandal thing played like it was what they were feeding cows (we feed cows high protein spent grains today and it's considered high quality feed), but the reality was milk in cities was always insane.
I thought that paper was your crust from the thumbnail. I was deeply concerned about your ability to stretch dough. Like maybe you had no arms and made a little depression in the doughball with your forehead and put all the toppings in it.
Aren't the top two here like right next to each other?
The funny part is: this shit was an internal discussion and was vetoed by higher ups before it was leaked. The administration raging over this is just bringing more attention to their own stupidity.
The stress is from cooling the filament and then winding it around the spool. Lots of reasons why the plastic would weaken that stress might suddenly give way, but most of them involve time. If it wasn't completely cooled internally before being spooled, that would dramatically increase the stress (think Prince Rupert's drop).
Sure. See when gravity fails. Happens to be both transphobic and inclusive. One of my favorite series though.
While I'm not in support of their moderation policies, he wasn't actually doing that. He was saying there's no need to claim that the US is somehow acting in a way that's new because it's controlled by Russia. That's what the US always did. You expect the US to bomb random people in far away countries even more than you expect China or Russia to. It's kind of our thing.
And to tie it all off, the TV was set to channel 9 with the breast exam.
Colorado springs, huh? Yeah they just needed to be brown there.
Edit: it seems that place is actually changing since they recently elected an African immigrant mayor. I always only knew it as a right wing shithole.
They put the tardigrades onto surfaces cooled to below -226 degrees Fahrenheit (-143 degrees Celsius), and covered the tiny creatures in anisole, an anise-scented organic compound.
If it's not enough that they froze them, then they covered them in licorice flavor and tattooed them with it. I literally didn't realize you could torture something so.
BYD shark doesn't look so bad as a hybrid.
Percussive maintenance is still quite useful for shitty solder jobs. It's not going anywhere.
Depends if you're a farmer or merchant without access to electronics.
What other types of cats would swarm sluggo?
Actually can count to 144 or a gross if you use base 12. One hand for the ones place and the other hand for the dozens.
Instead, they alter the tumor's environment, increasing blood vessel density within a day of treatment and boosting lymphatic vessel growth by day three.
These changes may help guide immune cells to the tumor, potentially improving the body's natural ability to fight cancer.
Would this not drastically increase the risk of metastatic cancer?!?!?
It really is the clothes themselves that are strange. That they come from plants, animals, or minerals are largely unimportant, but canis lupus really doesn't care what you kill.
TIL that during the Prussian siege of Paris many balloons made one way trips out of the city
When Paris was besieged by Prussian troops in 1870, the French used hot air balloons to transport mail and people across enemy lines into Belgium and the Netherlands.
I was aware that news and letters were brought into the city by carrier pigeons with microfilm, but I wasn't aware that news and post from the city(along with the carrier pigeons themselves that would later return) were brought out by constructing one way balloons out of the diminishing resources for a harrowing flight over occupied France with a shrinking pool of pilots.
Netanyahu government approves plan to expand settlements in the Golan Heights
The decision, which was approved unanimously, came just days after the fall of the Assad regime and the IDF retaking the Syrian Hermon.
Israel's government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, saying it had acted "in light of the war and the new front facing Syria" and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan.
Center-left in US sees a lesson in British election results
A center-left group in the U.S. sees a valuable lesson in the landslide victory of Britain’s Labour Party after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness.
The centrist Democrat think tank Third Way argues in a memo obtained Friday by POLITICO that Labour’s sweeping win shows that “centrism wins elections” and can undercut right-wing populism by appealing to the broadest segment of the population with a credible platform.
TIL sailing ships commonly moved around without wind by warping
Warping is throwing an anchor either manually for a small ship or by rowing the anchor out and dropping it farther away for a larger ship. Then the ship would reel it to change position. Good for maneuvering in harbor. Etymologically related to "throwing" and essentially threading a needle across the sea.
Warp factor get you asses in the rowboat. Engage.
Modi loses ground in parliament, but his Hindu nationalist policies are here to stay
For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.
Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.
Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place
When TikTok mobilized its users to lobby Congress, it backfired spectacularly.
Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”
Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
