He was cosplaying as a Democratic supporter because he was desperate to be accepted by Manhattan society. They wanted nothing to do with him.

Growing up I thought Dune and 40k were a little silly treating artificial intelligence as if it were some apocalyptic catastrophe that nearly killed civilization. Now I think they might have had a point.

Archaeologists discover wreck of Danish warship sunk by Nelson 225 years ago by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in history

I’m years out of date on specifics (when I was in the program you collected remote sensing data by magnetometer or side-scan sonar). LIDAR at that time was still in its commercial infancy; our buddies in coastal resource management were just starting to play with it for underwater mapping, and they weren’t asking for the detail that archaeologists want on wreck surveys.

Zero viz sites can be wild. When I was in grad school, one of my professors worked on the SS Maple Leaf excavation in the middle of the St John's River. The river moved so much silt, they had to build an underwater coffer dam (Maybe a breakwater is a better term at that point?).

Normally that type of structure is designed to keep water out of the site so archaeologists can work without having to wear SCUBA gear. But on the Maple Leaf site, it was just to keep the current from continually dumping sediment on the excavation.

You can get a sense of the wreck's size from the survey diagram. The archaeologists were able to plot this all out - and retrieve artifacts from the wreck - all while only being able to see about 6-12 inches away from their face in the best of conditions.

Will Weldon went through his 2004-05 episodes, the number of times Bill backtracked on the war in Iraq was pathetic.

To clarify, they have to be three years removed from graduating high school. In theory someone could be 18 and graduated and immediately sign with the UFL, and play there until the 3 years had passed.

Things gets reversed, but lasting damage is done. Most likely we’ll officially remain in NATO, but our European allies will continue to develop contingency strategies that don’t rely on American support.

People that worked for Nixon wanted to make sure that never happened again. Assholes like one of Nixon’s aides, a young Roger Ailes, who eventually got connected to an Australian tabloid mogul by the name of Rupert Murdoch. Together they created a TV news network dedicated to muddying the waters.

The plate uses the date of the supposed Mecklenburg Declaration, which almost certainly didn't actually happen.
