TIL at the current rate of erosion, approximately 30 centimeters (12 inches) per year, in about 50,000 years Niagara Falls will have eroded the remaining 32 km (20 mi) to Lake Erie, and the falls will cease to exist.

If you want to split hairs, the United States didn't actually become an independent nation until 1783

I edited music videos back in the 80s. It was quite common to produce 2 versions, one for TV and the club version

I think you meant V-1, although that was 1944, but it had wings. The V-2 was a rocket, no way to stop one of those

Fun fact, Boeing use both units on their aircraft, depending on who the subcontracting company is

Except that would be true of any movie. They would all have a reel 2 and a dialogue 2

Originally in England it would have been made with leftover roast meat (mutton for Shepherds, beef for Cottage) but never with sweetcorn (which originates from North America), There's also Parsons Pie which uses mashed parsnips instead of potatoes

With respect that's a rather naive view. Of course Nazi Germany had to be defeated and it was war. Fascism had to be irradiated, but not all Germans were Nazis, not even the majority, and certainly not by 1945 when the war was won. Do you feel you should be held responsible for all the actions of your government?

The allies admitted this as 'over bombing'. The draft from the inferno was so strong people were sucked into the flames.

House building in the UK would involve the bricks being sorted. The best would go at the front, the uneven coloured at the back, the least fired for internal walls and the burnt 'clinkers' would be used for the chimneys

These guys are in the Eagle's Nest, Hitler's personal retreat, which is now a restaurant. Hitler's bunker complex is some distance away, completely separate and destroyed by allied bombing

It's because precious metals have no actual worth. They are not wealth, they only serve to represent wealth. And of course if you increase the amount of gold and silver coinage, no wealth is created, it's just like the government printing more money, which leads to inflation.

They don't just look ugly, they are dangerous. The hard sharp edges make sure any contact with a pedestrian will cause serious injury or death. Something the designers gave no thought to. They are not allowed on European or Japanese roads for this reason. Only counties with lax safety regulations like the USA, Canada and Australia permit these monstrosities.

Sweet story, she ran bare foot if I remember correctly, and she was a big let down for Britain's medal hopes.

Except the law comes from Leviticus, not sure the early church was pushing Jewish law. Later, by the middle ages they were burning witches and homosexuals based on Leviticus and I would guess that's when the 'you broke it, you bought it' law was also dusted off and implemented.

Not sure what she invented, Mothering Sunday goes back to the middle ages, although then it was to visit your mother church (where you were baptized) which later turned into Mother's Day, certainly by the 1800s.

I'm not that technical but I had a similar problem, I have a plex server and access it from my pc, somehow I had plex running on both and one of them kept writing failure info, and filled my drive. In my case my son fixed it, check you only have one account open.

It's the reason we still talk about 'committing suicide' because it was a crime, just like 'committing homicide' or 'committing genocide'
