Meanwhile wasn’t there a story about the Germans building a decoy airfield with wooden airplanes and other things to look convincing and then when they finished the Allies sent a single fighter bomber to drop a single wooden bomb decoy on the runway?


This seems like a good place to plug the small [email protected] community


This is something a sitcom character would do

The report noted that publishers that specialise in lifestyle or utility content such as weather, TV guides, or horoscopes were more likely to have seen traffic declines, linking it to the arrival of Google’s AI summaries at the top of search results from 2024.
I think the top part happened during his first term, explaining some of the pixel loss


I’m guessing some Argentines would be mad at Brazil being declared “Soccer Mexico”
That makes sense; I saw another post from op that looks the same
I’ve tried multiple apps and all show this picture as mostly gray, like a corrupted file


Was this colorized later or an early use of color film?


In 1938, wallet manufacturer the E. H. Ferree company in Lockport, New York decided to promote its product by showing how a Social Security card would fit into its wallets. A sample card, used for display purposes, was inserted in each wallet. Company Vice President and Treasurer Douglas Patterson thought it would be a clever idea to use the actual SSN of his secretary, Mrs. Hilda Schrader Whitcher.
Although the snafu gave her a measure of fame, it was mostly a nuisance. The FBI even showed up at her door to ask her about the widespread use of her number. In later years she observed: “They started using the number. They thought it was their own. I can’t understand how people can be so stupid. I can’t understand that.”
One embarrassing episode was the fault of the Social Security Board itself. In 1940 the Board published a pamphlet explaining the new program and showing a facsimile of a card on the cover. The card in the illustration used a made-up number of 219-09-9999. Sure enough, in 1962 a woman presented herself to the Provo, Utah Social Security office complaining that her new employer was refusing to accept her old Social Security number–219-09-9999. When it was explained that this could not possibly be her number, she whipped out her copy of the 1940 pamphlet to prove that yes indeed it was her number!

In Scotland, although marriage was formed by simple consent and required no formalities or consummation, the bedding rituals were widespread but unstructured; a couple simply wanted someone to see them in bed together. A couple could also be pressured into marriage in this way: a person stumbling upon an unmarried couple in bed could pronounce them man and wife on the spot.
Wait, so the Thomas’s English Muffin was their invention?


I’m not sure it’s a mansion since it seems to have storefronts at street level. Maybe a boarding house or hotel?


All we have to do to stop her is put different shapes in the square hole


Where in North America are there no inspections? I can’t renew my registration without the car going through inspection and I assumed inspections were required everywhere.


The driver’s side lightbulb on my wife’s Kia Soul is largely blocked by internal components. I found some instructions explaining how to remove the front bumper for access. Fortunately some guy on YouTube made a video showing a better way. Need to make some marks on parts so you can line them up properly when putting it back but with some tight contortions it was possible and only took a couple minutes.
I feel like his ego was already strong enough back then that he never had any intention to pivot
