I know Delaware isn't very big but you are going to miss seeing "New Castle Historic District, Delaware" if you follow this map. Delaware has only 3 counties and this pin isn't even in the correct one.

Germany was pissed that Japan attacked the US and thus bringing them fully into the war. Germany allied with Japan in the hopes of splitting the British forces between the UK and all their Indian and south Pacific interests. Germany knew that they would need to eventually deal with the US but they first want to finish off the British and be able to increase their naval forces.

"The effectiveness of the USSR in defeating the Nazis is colored by the utter brutality of the Stalinist regime, and clouded by the secrecy of Soviet isolation over the ensuing 50 years. However, the sheer numbers have a tale to tell, and we haven’t been telling it as well as we could."
Human wave attacks do make for good story telling. Isn't "effectiveness" stretching a bit?

So I've seen an $8 coffee, a painting that cost $50,000 that I would never admit to owning and an early 2000s Honda Civic with probably more than $15,000 in after market changes. So this statement is completely false:
Just know, no matter what horrors you see tonight, no matter what twisted abominations you witness walking the street, nothing will be scarier than knowing you live in a world where this kind of gross and pointless excess is seen as acceptable.

Audio equipment is one of those things that most people will never know what the difference is between what they think is good and what actually is excellent (users of Apple or Beats headphones come to mind). If you take out the collector price and would have bought them new, you probably wouldn't have thought much of plugging $1,200 headphones into your $10,000+ audio setup.

Excess is mostly governed by what you feel is important. I think anyone spending more than $1 on coffee or $75 on shoes crazy, yet I take notes with a $80 pen.
