New DNA research shows that half the human beings alive today are descended from the Yamnaya, who lived in Ukraine 5,000 years ago.

Kinda makes sense. Is that not the area that Japheth was said to settle in?
From her remarkably impressive body of work (at least 28 books and more than 500 papers), I have chosen here to concentrate on three key areas: the capabilities approach, her theory of emotions and, connected with that, her work on anger. Her treatment of each of these topics offers excellent evidence of how Nussbaum’s work challenges settled positions.
pulled this off of Facebook so don't know how accurate it is.
Electric car from 1910 The Detroit Model D could travel 340 km at a maximum speed of 32 km/h, a normal speed for the time.
It had a rechargeable lead-acid battery.
The Anderson company built 13,000 electric cars between 1907 and 1939
The Detroit Electric was sold primarily to drivers and doctors who wanted reliable, immediate starting without the laborious manual crank starting required with early internal combustion engine cars.
A subtle example of this car's design refinement was the first use of a curved window glass in a production car, a feature that was expensive and complex to manufacture.
A car that may have been the harbinger of a different future, but was displaced by gasoline cars.
In the bustling streets of early 20th-century London, before the incessant beeping of alarm clocks swept the nation, a remarkable figure quietly played an essential role in the lives of its inhabitants. Enter Mary Smith, the unconventional knocker-upper, whose morning rituals were as vital as the sun rising over the Thames. For the modest sum of six pence a week, Mary wielded her trusty pea shooter, a surprisingly effective tool, to tap insistently on the windows of bleary-eyed workers.
In an era when alarm clocks were considered a luxury, Mary offered a lifeline to those who couldn’t afford to miss a beat in the relentless drum of industry. While the countryside might have relied on roosters heralding dawn, in the heart of the city, it was Mary—shrugging off the enveloping fog—who emerged as the dependable bellwether of morning. Without fail, she ensured that those whose livelihoods depended on punctuality were stirred into action, blending the charm of a bygone age with the grit of London's relentless urban pulse.
" Extinction" by Douglas Preston. Rip roaring tale. If you want to know more about Neanderthals [ not the cigar] read this book. Fiction based on fact.
I just don’t get the uproar. Tariffs have always been a thing. They’ve always fluctuated. I guess it’s just the latest mass media frenzy to keep everyone glued to their devices. Gotsta get them clicks and likes.
For all I know, the Trump tariffs are more drastic than imposed by past presidents. But, and there's always a but, I would bet my bottom dollar if it wasn't Trump bumping up the tariffs, we would've never heard about them. Sorry for dragging what should stay in the Political Discussions thread over here. I also suspect that the companies raising prices already are (at least some of them) hedging their bets and price-gouging.
In the contiguous United States, the farthest east anyone can travel is to Sail Rock, Lubec, Maine. The furthest east you can travel to is Point Udall, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Both of these spots are not actually the easternmost point of the United States. That designation belongs to the state of Alaska, which also happens to have the westernmost point of the United States with Amatignak Island. In short, it has to do with hemispheres and Alaska crosses the 180th Meridian.

Yes, that is correct. In both Judaic and Islamic traditions Japheth's descendants settled that region.

Getting paid to do what you love. How great is that? Little known fact, Mary Smith's nickname was Sweet Pea.
Edit: never believe anything that comes out of my mouth.

That sounds like a really interesting book, Rodger. @First_Warrior
Pretty good read Edward. Found it at our public library.

Sounds like a story about a bed full of seamen.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
The “Make Your Bed” speech is quite possibly one of the best ever given.
Nope. Just sage advice. I’d read this first. Also, watch the speech on YouTube.
