    Did You Know?

    Despite the numerous things that were rationed in Britain during World War II, the British government went to great pains to never ration fish and chips in order to keep morale in Britain high.

      Did You Know?

      In the 9th century, the Byzantine Empire had a system of mountain-top beacons, not unlike the beacons of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings, that stretched 450 miles (720 kilometers) across Asia Minor. The beacon line was very efficient and, based on modern experiments, a message could be transmitted from the farthest point all the way back to Constantinople within an hour.

      Although there aren’t many of them, there are tribes of people around the world (such as those found deep in the Amazon forest) that are considered “anumeric”. They don’t have words for numeric concepts beyond things like “one”, “a few”, or “some” and, as a result, they struggle to differentiate and recall quantities as low as four.

    Quick complaining about the honey bee. It isn’t a wild bee and isn’t indigenous to the US. It is a domesticated bee brought over from England. It isn’t endangered. It is the other bees and insects that are endangered. The honey bee is no different from human cows, or sheep.

    So you gave them the technology to use seaweed to make rechargeable batteries, but you object to us giving them technology to use fecal waste. We await your logic.

    You judge what would be the better “teacher.” Reality/poverty/want vs court royalty/privilege/decadence. This battle between Ukraine and Russia is becoming very interesting. Aliens in Ukraine taking on the Russians on human terms. They have learnt much from the quote, “Soldering, my dear madam, is the coward’s art of attacking mercilessly when you are strong, and keeping out of harm’s way when you are weak.”-’Arms and the Man,’/ George Bernard Shaw.

    The strategies and tactics that can be derived from that quote are immensely valuable to the application of releasing “the dogs of war.” They have learned to fight when it is to their advantage, and just trot away, uncatchable when it isn’t…to return when it is. On earth we actually fight with what might be on some hypocritical human terms called “cowardice:” fight when the enemy is weak, run when they are strong. Aliens are learning to be very practical, and therefore to russian combatants very dangerous.

    I love this quote by Camron Diaz “I think women are beautiful, absolutely beautiful.”
    “And I think all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point.”

    I can get in bed with that.

      With a man it is usually not so sweet. Take the marriage between FDR and Eleanor – Early on the marriage was a happy one, and there was some true love there. In 1918, Eleanor discovered a bunch of love letters exchanged between Franklin and Lucy Mercer. Of course, Eleanor didn’t take it lightly, and demanded a divorce from her husband. However, they eventually agreed to stay together to protect Franklin’s political image.

      From then on, the marriage was never restored to it’s pre-Lucy love status. It remained somewhat of a cold-hearted collaboration where Eleanor and Franklin helped each other to get what they desired in their career. They never slept in the same house again, and in the last stages of FDR’s live, when he asked Eleanor to move back to the White House, she utterly refused. I believe their permanent rupture helped foster, in part, Eleanor’s productive career that left her an icon for the feminist movement.

      What I love about the woman is once she soured on him the pussy was never available to him again. No “friends with privileges” relationship there. Women have to wise up. If a man is cheating on you and you breakup, you become the bitch willing to sleep with a man in a relationship with another. That cycle will never end unless we women end it

        Or, maybe she stopped putting out because it wasn’t in her interest and she stayed with him because it was. There has forever been the rumor that Eleanor was in a lesbian relationship with journalist Lorena Hickok.

        Eleanor Roosevelt penned these words to her beloved, “Funny, everything I do my thoughts fly to you. Never are you out of my heart.”

        Eleanor Roosevelt and journalist Lorena Hickok’s relationship has been documented in letters the two shared. Eleanor Roosevelt called Lorena Hickok “Hick.” Here is a letter Eleanor penned to Hick on March 7, 1933:

        Hick darling,
        All day I’ve thought of you & another birthday I will be with you, & yet tonite you sounded so far away & formal. Oh! I want to put my arms around you. I ache to hold you close. Your ring is a great comfort to me. I look at it and think she does love me, or I wouldn’t be wearing it.”

        Excerpted from: Lillian Faderman, author of To Believe in Women

    What is the purpose of the bread that restaurants give you before they take your order?
    Maybe you’ve heard the story of a new skyscraper that had installed fast elevator cars to move everyone to the various floors. After the building opened, the tenants complained that the elevators were too slow. The owners checked the wait times and found that the elevators were fast and the waits were short, yet the people working there perceived the elevators were slow with long waits. The owners installed mirrors in the elevator areas and the complaints of slow elevators went away. The distraction took people’s minds off of waiting.
    If you go into a restaurant and it takes 15 minutes to receive your food and you have nothing to occupy yourself but sitting there nursing your water, 15 minutes seems a long time. If you have bread (or chips and salsa) you are distracted and not focused on how long it takes to prepare your food. Instead of being frustrated that the restaurant can’t get meals out of the kitchen in a timely manner as you sit unoccupied, you instead praise the prompt service when distracted from the passage of time.

    Have you ever witnessed someone’s life fully change in one instant? What happened?
    Yep. My own life. I was arguing with my guy. He pushed my desk because he was mad. I yelled back at him told him to knock it off. He said I’ll do whatever I want I bought all this stuff. He walked around the dssk toward me. I wasnt sure what he was going to do so I grabbed the can of bear deterrent and sprayed him in the face. That move right there changed my life and not for the better. That was the last day I lived at my house. Our daughter said if I were you I’d get out of here before he can see again…so I left. At the time I was unemployed and we were about 2 weeks into the pandemic. No one was hiring so I basically have been living in my car for the past 2 years. I mean I stay at friend’s houses for a few days here and there but don’t like to impose. So I move on after a few days. Spring and Fall are not too bad. Summer is awful and Winter is tough. I live in PA so our winters can be harsh. I got a sleeping bag that is pretty good quality it keeps me warm enough.

    Edit: It’s hard to respond to everyone because of the way Quora’s comments threats are laid out. I did respond that I went to rehab at the end of last year and why. I did get a job this week. I wanted to share something I learned in rehab. It’s should be common sense but until I learned about the geese, I didnt follow all these simple rules in life. Hence, me being homeless. One thing this article doesn’t have is when geese are sitting on a river bank either eating or just resting. There are always 2 or 3 geese on guard looking out for their flock. (My rehab was right next to a river) During this group, the man leading the group said “And I dare you to try to get to that flock. It’s not going to happen. You’ll be flocked. You’ll be bit. It’s call fellowship. We can all learn a lot from the geese.” For whatever reason this story has stuck with me and even though I don’t have much to offer someone, if they need something I have, I’ll gladly give it up. We need to look out for each other and give our support to people who need it. There are scammers out there who will take, take, take. But for the most part you’ll be able to spot them relatively quick. In the past few years I’ve realized that just saying something like “You look nice today.” Or “I love your jacket.” or anything positive will put a smile on someone’s face. They may live with a man or woman who doesn’t compliment them. It’s just something that doesn’t cost a dime and you also feel better knowing that your comment brightened their day. Anyways here’s the geese article.

    How do cops find out who speeds when they are not around?
    While I was working, I was sworn to secrecy… But now that I’m retired I can let the cat out of the bag.

    Did you ever notice, while you’re out speeding around in your “muscle car”, that you occasionally pass little old ladies walking dachshunds?

    Those little dogs are actually robotic speed-guns, disguised to look like dachshunds. Every time you pass one, it’s making a record of your license number and taking a photo of your car. That’s all automatically sent to the local police station where it’s entered into the database of “Idiot drivers” maintained by the Traffic Enforcement Division.

    the Equality Act, a bill that bans discrimination based on gender and sexuality orientation. Why do Republicans take pride in being against it? Are Republican woman just basically stupid?

      They are usually bible thumpers and believe that the women’s purpose is solely to support men and to be a vessels for the birth of more men. They are indoctrinated to accept that this is their highest purpose.

    I read something recently that completely changed my perspective on motivation. It said we often wait to “feel” motivated, but actually if we just start doing an activity the motivation will come. Motivation is actually created through action, not the other way around. My whole life I thought action was created through motivation but that’s not correct. Realizing this now, when I want to feel motivated I just START and wait for the motivation to come. It always does!

      I think this so true as well. The hardest part is just starting. For me, it’s pretty easy when it’s something I want to do. But when it is something I’m not that excited about doing, it can be hard to even get started.
      As someone once said to me (more times than I’d like to admit), “By the time you stop complaining about doing it, you would’ve been done by now.” Partially true. For me, sometimes I need to rant about something to release the stress or fear or whatever I’m feeling first – usually overwhelm – and then I’m ready to dive in.
      For some taking on the Nike saying,”Just do it” is enough to get started.
      Thanks for bringing this up Jessica. It certainly made me think of motivation, and what I do to get started.

    JOKE:
    There was this couple who had been married for 50 years.
    There was this couple who had been married for 50 years.

    They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife, “Just think, honey, we’ve been married for 50 years.”

    “Yeah,” she replied,

    “Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together.”

    “I know,” the old man said, “We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years ago.”

    “Well,” Granny snickered, “What do you say… should we get naked?”

    Whereupon the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table.

    “You know, honey,” the little old lady breathlessly replied, “My nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago.”

    “I wouldn’t be surprised,” replied Gramps. “One’s in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal.”

      A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with three young mothers and their small children.
      “You all have obsessions,” he observed.

      To the first mother, he said, “You are obsessed with eating.

      You’ve even named your daughter Candy.”

      He turned to the second mom. “Your obsession is money.

      Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny.”

      At this point, the third mother got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, “Come on, Dick, let’s go.”

    Quit talking about the murder of princess Diana because she was pregnant with that Arab’s child. You did not complain when they murdered princess Grace because someone was about to Publish some pictures of her an a few of her leading men.

    What is the coolest obscure historical fact you know?

    I first became aware of this unlikely chain of events a couple of years ago through the magic of Wikipedia freefalling.

    Around 1703, a nobleman in what is now Eritrea, in the Horn of Africa, was defeated by invading Ottoman Turks. His five year old son, Ibrahim, was sold into slavery. Ibrahim eventually ended up in Istanbul, and about a year later was purchased by Russian diplomats and sent to the court of Peter the Great.

    The Czar took a liking to Ibrahim and became the boy’s godfather. Ibrahim was educated in France before returning to Russia to become a Military Engineer.

    Abram Petrovich Gannibal, as he became known, eventually became a prominent general and nobleman. His descendants include author Alexander Pushkin.

    Around 1740 Gannibal overheard his neighbor, Vasiliy Suvorov, complaining about his twelve year old son, Alexander. Alexander was a somewhat sickly child and Vasiliy feared he wasn’t cut out to be a military man, as he was. Gannibal offered to speak to Alexander, and, impressed with the boy, advised Vasiliy to support Alexander in whatever career he chose.

    Not only did Alexander grow up to be a soldier, he grew up to be one of the greatest generals ever to walk the earth. Alexander Suvorov never lost a battle.

    Among the adversaries bested by Suvorov were the members of the Bar Confederation, a group of Polish noblemen who attempted to throw off Russian influence over their nation. One of their key leaders was Casimir Pulaski.

    Pulaski was also a brilliant commander, but he and his allies were defeated by Suvorov in 1771 and Pulaski was forced into exile. Although defeated and on the run, Pulaski’s talents caught the attention of one Benjamin Franklin.

    (Even if you’ve never heard of any of those other guys, you’re probably familiar with this guy.)

    Franklin convinced George Washington to recruit Pulaski, and the Polish commander joined the American cause. He is one of the most celebrated heroes of the Revolution, and is known as one of the fathers of the American cavalry. His heroic charge at the Battle of Brandywine turned the tide of battle to a Continental victory and saved Washington’s life. Pulaski was killed in battle near Savannah, Georgia, in 1779.

    America as we know it might not exist if Washington had been killed in 1777, which he might have been if not for Pulaski, who wouldn’t have come to America if he hadn’t been defeated by Suvorov, who probably would not have become a general were it not for the advice of his father’s neighbor Abram Gannibal, who wouldn’t have been living in Russia if he hadn’t been kidnapped by slavers at the age of five over seventy years before.

    I’m sure history is full of stuff like this, and it blows my mind.
