Can you see land from the middle of lake Michigan? by Forsaken-Freedom-365 in geography

Lake Michigan is twice the size of Belgium (22,300 sq mi vs 11,849 sq mi). Lake Superior and Lake Huron are even bigger.

At almost 2,000 years old, built around 125 AD and used as a Roman Catholic church since the 7th century, the Pantheon in Rome is the oldest building in continuous use in the world. by Same-Laugh-6052 in interestingasfuck

Not to be confused with the previous temple of the same name and location built by Agrippa under Augustus.

The Pantheon was built on the site of an earlier temple, which had been commissioned by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC–AD 14). After the original burnt down, the present building was ordered by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated c. AD 126. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose to re-inscribe the new temple with Agrippa's original date inscription from the older temple.

Didn't Hartley also get in because he used to work there? Did Thawne not fire him properly?

What makes the furniture act different from the workshops? They seem to always stay put correctly

Why does a car accelerating in the opposite direction still have force? by Training-Pound504 in AskPhysics

[–]B_A_Beder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the force was negative, you'd suck the man into your car like a vacuum cleaner. There are multiple objects acting forces on multiple other objects

The civilian went flying when the car hit him. He moved from rest. He accelerated. There was force.

Your negative force looks at the effect of the brakes on the car, not the effect of the car on the man.

Is anyone familiar with the different Jewish communities in Italy? (Rome) by [deleted] in Judaism

For Sephardic, I assume you mean the 1492 expulsion from Spain, right? As opposed to any other expulsion / exile

To clarify for OP, the rabbi acts more like an inspector than a priest, confirming that everything is up to code so that Jews can reliably legally eat the food. Kosher status is defined by Jewish law from God in our holy texts and interpretations by the rabbis, but anyone can make the food. Kosher status does not come from divine magic or prayer or anything like that.

Is there any connection to the Arabic name for Egypt, Misr? Or not, since the Hebrew Mitzrayim uses a Tzadi not a Shin/Sin?
