Well said.

My wife said, "Oooo...deviled eggs!"

That would be killer on a roast beef or roast pork sandwich.

German soldiers wearing rare Hessian helmet covers posing for a photograph in a trench, October 1917. . Colourised by Zeemering historic photo colourisation and restoration . The following is Danish-German soldier Peter Rossen's diary entry from the front at Berry-au-Bac, reporting on an incident while fetching water from a pump in April 1916. Translated by myself: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I went home on leave in April 1916 for Easter, the only holiday I spent at home in those 4,5 years. We were taking turns to fetch water for the field kitchen, and on the evening I was going home, it was my turn to do it. This evening the shelling was particularly hefty. . We fetched the water by a farm which was blown to ruins. Here was a small pump, but it took a long time to fill the bucket. It was uncomfortable that the farm was shelled at intervals. . We were to get to the pump in between the shellings. I had been jumping back and forth between cover and pump a few times already, and on this evening they fired more than usual. . A comrade from Mecklenburg approached me and said: "I'll take over for you now, because you have a family at home who awaits you. I'm alone and no one would mourn for me." . I had once written an application for leave for him and it had been accepted; now he wanted to repay the favour. . That was what the camaraderie was like." . #worldwar1 #wwi #ww1 #firstworldwar #worldwarone #thegreatwar #history #militaryhistory #ww2 #wwii #worldwar2 #worldwarii

When your HOA complains about everything, so you decide to roll your project vehicle out of the garage and really give them something to get riled up over.

Here's an engine rarely seen since they were intended to be disposable. This is the 4 cylinder radial engine from a WWII German G7A torpedo. It ran on Decaline fuel (decahydronaphthalene), which was first burned using compressed air (stored in a tank onboard) as an oxidizer. The combustion byproducts were then passed through a device called a 'wet heater', which also introduced water (from a 57L storage tank) to produce superheated steam. This high pressure mixture of superheated steam and compressed air was finally sent through the engine to drive the pistons. Since the entire internal combustion/steam generator system was self-contained inside the hull of the torpedo, it could run underwater. The 4 cylinder, 'X' type radial engine produced up to 350 horsepower at its maximum power setting, which was enough to push the 26' (just over 7 meters) torpedo (the length of a large Uhaul moving van here in the States for comparison purposes) along at nearly 50mph while submerged. Interesting piece of history-and worth remembering-in my opinion. Dwelle and 40K others

Most likely. It's the first one after that. I think so: (found in one of the FB comments)

I guess it beats honest work. Intellectual History As a field of intellectual enquiry, the history of ideas emerged from the European disciplines of Kulturgeschichte (Cultural History) and Geistesgeschichte (Intellectual History) from which historians might develop a global intellectual history that shows the parallels and the interrelations in the history of critical thinking in every society.[2][3] Likewise, the history of reading, and the history of the book, about the material aspects of book production (design, manufacture, distribution) developed from the history of ideas. The concerns of intellectual history are the intelligentsia and the critical study of the ideas expressed in the texts produced by intellectuals; therein the difference between intellectual history from other forms of cultural history that study visual and non-verbal forms of evidence. In the production of knowledge, the concept of the intellectual as a political citizen of public society dates from the 19th century, and identifies a man or a woman who is professionally engaged with critical thinking that is applicable to improving society. Nonetheless, anyone who explored his or her thoughts on paper can be the subject of an intellectual history. For instance, The Cheese and the Worms (1976), Carlo Ginzburg's study of the 16th-century Italian miller Menocchio (1532–1599) and his cosmology, falls within the genre of intellectual history (as well as cultural history, the history of mentalities, and microhistory).[4] The Journal of the History of Ideas is one of the flagship journals in intellectual history.

This is Jackie Moggridge, she ferried 1,438 planes to waiting RAF pilots during WW2, flying dozens of aircraft types. At 5’3” she was too small for many planes that were designed for men, and would use her parachute, log books and cushions just so she could reach the controls. Jackie was awarded the King’s Commendation for Valuable Services in the Air after the war and was determined to continue flying. From 1948-1954 she was a pilot in the Women’s Royal Air Force Voluntary Reserve, where in 1953, she was one of the first five women to earn their RAF wings. The next woman would not earn her wings until 1991. #raf #pilot #ww2

Local 767 was located at 1710 S. Central Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90021 The life of the Los Angeles jazz musician often revolved around the headquarters of their local, all-black musician’s union, founded in 1920. “A gathering place for generations of musicians,” according to The Dark Tree, “767 also served as a social and cultural center and offered a range of activities from casual affairs to barbeques and parades.” Not only did the union help jazz musicians get jobs and negotiate pay and contracts, it was also “a favorite hangout for young aspiring artists who wanted to be part of the scene and meet their heroes.” In upstairs rehearsal spaces, young musicians would often simply walk in and listen to superstars like Duke Ellington rehearse. They were encouraged to ask questions, and occasionally sit in and jam. “Every black musician in the world would pass by there, slap you upside the head, and say something smart to you,” Horace Tapscott recounted in The Dark Tree. “Me…and the other young guys were sitting there all the time, during all those years… It was just rich, very rich.” As stated by Tony Valdez, truth be told, Local 767 existed because members of the American Federation of Musicians Local 47 were all White people, a majority of whom wanted to keep it that way. The de facto segregation of musicians ended on April 1, 1953 with the “amalgamation” of the two locals. Gerald Wilson, Buddy Collette and Ernie Freeman were among the many who struggled for equality and fairness at all the live music venues in Southern California.

Nope....that was your suggestion, sir, by bringing in AAVE. I obviously consider it a normal part of everyday English, even if shunned by "proper" society.

Before venturing into acting, Brennan's life was as varied as the roles he would later play, including stints as a bank clerk and serving in the U.S. Army during World War I. It was after the war, with the United States in the throes of change and the film industry beginning to flourish, that Brennan found his calling in acting. Making his debut in the 1920s, Brennan's entry into Hollywood was through the silent film era, a time when the industry was burgeoning, and talkies were just on the horizon.
