| Theyve created a channel so now ships are able to get around the wrecked bridge and wrecked ship at the mouth of the Patapsco. A good sized 350 foot long freighter just got out. But see how its dwarfed by the 1000 foot long wrecked "Dali". https://youtu.be/efpkKQPYzto https://youtu.be/efpk... |

Well...
you could clip hundreds of them together to make a shirt that looks like it's made of chain mail armor.

| According to both Adam Smith and Karl Marx feudalism was the phase that Europe went through after the fall of the "slave owning societies" of antiquity (Rome and Greece) and before the rise of modern capitalism in circa 1500 AD. The serfs were not outright owned as slaves but were legally ... |

| The Neanderthal hypothesis for the origin of autism resurfaces from time to time on WP over the years. Its plausible that the Neanderthals (who lived in smaller bands than did anatomical moderns) were less skilled at networking, intra tribal office politics, inter tribal diplomacy, etc than our Anat... |

| Did you guys know? Europe is unique among places on Earth in that it has northern, southern, western, and central parts, yet no eastern part! Everyone knows that once you get east of Warsaw it's just a formless void until you hit the Urals. If you watch the video he never attempts to say Europe has... |

| In fact I think the "Middle East" is another example, right? Just about everyone in the West refers to this spot in between Africa, Asia, and I think Europe too as such. But my sister has often had to correct me and tell me that the Middle East is not a true thing (maybe it's really calle... |

Which leaves us to quibble over the bits and pieces that are predominantly Muslim. You could slice it that way. The large region of Eastern Orthodox Christianity plus the tin... |
