The same could probably be said about all social media. An open social media (like Twitter, where there's no algorithmic filtering like on Facebook) is particularly susceptible to trolling.
I ran into a clearance problem with our old kitchen remodel. We knew about it, but the layout and location of the plumbings dictate a certain compromise with a bank of drawers and the dishwasher. The dishwasher won out in the end, because we could live without a bank of drawers but couldn't live without a dishwasher!
I think (before Katrina at least), New Orleans was supposed to have one of the country's best water. Didn't they use to joke that they need to bottle their tap water and sell it?
^^This. Having grown up in a country where all water is suspect (I remember my parents telling me to never drink water straight out of the tap - no matter how clean it looks), bottled water is a symbol of safety.
Thank you for that insight! As a biochemist-by-training, astronomy is an interesting topic to read about but I profess no deep understanding of the field. I am surprised however that astronomers (be they planetary scientists or other types) don't agree with each other over the basics like the definition of planets and non-planets. Sure, we have controversies and disagreements in biology all the time - but I think all biologists pretty much agree on the basic taxonomic classifications (for example). Are you an astronomer?
Etymology is so interesting - Thank you for the input Stan! Looking up the word origin for "speed" - it seems that came from Old English "sped" and "spowan" which means prosper or succeed. Google now has the info in the search result directly when I googled for "etymology speed"
Thank you for the interesting analysis, Schill! I haven't read Greasley's book, but am curious to learn if there are any other survivor from Freiwaldau that could corroborate Greasley's claim that Himmler had visited it.
