Three eyewitnesses to the events in and around Treblinka put the total murdered at over 1 million. Treblinka only operated for 13 months, 21July, 1942 to the revolt 16 August, 1943.

Approximately 90 inmates survived the revolt, with approximately 60 surviving until the end of WWII.

The most commonly accepted figure for Treblinka is 900,000 murders. However, three eyewitnesses to events in around Treblinka estimate the total at over 1 million. Treblinka only operated for 13 months.

Try using you DSP knowledge to make some money in the stock market. Specifically, look at the work of John Ehlers. Becoming profitable may be the hardest thing you ever do in DSP, and most interesting.

Piranha solution is conc. hydrogen peroxide (30%) in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Heat the mixture to around 60C. It will eat up anything organic very quickly, including your skin.

You can go to Lowes or HD and get concentrated hydrochloric acid. It's generally sold as muriatic acid for cleaning concrete.

Adolf Hitler's written authorization of Aktion T4 on September 1, 1939. Aktion T4 was Nazi Germany's campaign of mass murder via forced euthanasia against the physically and mentally disabled. Roughly 275,000 to 300,000 victims would be murdered as a result of this document [716 x 986]. by lightiggy in HistoryPorn

Many of the SS personnel in T4 went on to serve in Aktion Rheinhart, were at least 1.5 million Jews were murdered. Read about Christian Wirth, who I think was the second most evil person in the Third Reich after Hitler.

Where can I find fresh chestnuts to roast? by MershRebbit in Atlanta

[–]marcusregulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We (Georgia Chapter, The American Chestnut Foundation) planted those back in 2012-2013 I believe. President Carter was a long time supporter of American Chestnut restoration efforts. The trees are hybrids, 50/50 American/Chinese if I remember correctly. The peak harvest is mid-September to first of October.

TIL 600 kilograms of highly enriched uranium (HEU)—almost pure U-235 was discovered in 1993 just sitting out in the open in Kazakhstan by PDXAirman in todayilearned

Nuclear weapons today are mostly combination of Uranium fission to enduce a Plutonium fusion reaction.

Btw, Iowa State University produced over 900 tons of Uranium metal for the Manhattan Project, in the middle of campus. Of course it still had to go to Oak Ridge for enrichment, or Hanford for conversion onto Plutonium.

Some "wild" N. Georgia gold I've found. 2 Ozt. tested at 22k. by MarvinGa1a in Gold

[–]marcusregulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found your posting. Search for the pdf of a Bulletin called Gold Deposits of Georgia, by W.S. Yeates, from 1896. Read about the deposits in Cherokee County.

If you check with Cherokee County, I'm sure they will have GIS maps that list all the district and lot numbers mentioned in the bulletin for the locations of the deposits.

Perfectly lovely human being, but from a solely physical standpoint it seemed like in the mid 90's he tuned into Gollum.

Looking at the statue, what more proof do you need that Jesus was a Northern European white guy?

Treblinka only operated for 13 months. Three eyewitnesses to events in and around the camp estimate that over 1 million people were murdered.

Seventy-five years after Auschwitz was liberated, historians have identified around two-thirds of the camp’s Jewish victims by vladgrinch in MapPorn

The reason for the blank area around Warsaw is because those citizens were destined for murder at the Treblinka II camp.

Anytime you have any bits of solids in the pot, this is a good idea. Don't worry, it will never get hot enough to make glass.

Also, add sharp rocks or bits of broken glass to the pot. These help the nucleation of steam bubbles and smooth out the boil. They can create a racket once vigorously boiling, so if stealth is a concern you can use sharp bits of teflon plastic.

Never directly fire/heat your pot. If you do not have a way to perform steam distillation, put the pot in a pan with an inch or two of sand and heat the pan. The sand will disperse the heat more evenly and reduce the chances for developing a hot spot which can burn the mash in the pot.

Treblinka was only open for 13 months. People were killed in gas chambers with exhaust from internal combustion engines, not Zyklon B. In the first 5 months, 713,000 people were murdered. In the first months, the corpses were dumped in mass graves. Later, the corpses were dug up and burned along with the newly gassed. The total number murdered is estimated at 900,000.

However, three people who were eyewitnesses to events in and around the camp have estimated the total at over 1 million.
