Seven additional months of rain have been overlooked. It just pisses it down from September to June.

For some reason, the AP only mention this explicitly in their original article, not the linked follow-up article:

[Marco Polo argali sheep from Central Asia] are protected under international convention as a threatened species and outlawed for import into Montana to protect native sheep from disease and hybridization.

It seems to be the Lacey Act he's charged with violating.

And with some degree of oversight, for the safety and health of the workers and their clients.

Its best to look for an actual photo of the space shuttle before you start considering anything. Posts like these are intentionally misleading

Edit: I misunderstood your question and tone, sorry, but everything below still stands!

They're temporary buildings made of wood, plaster of Paris, and cement, built here as an 1898 World's Fair.

"You are being lied to" heavily implies that the history of Omaha is being glossed over somehow (perhaps with respect to the Civil War? though it was a Union state, and the photo decades later than the war), and that this was the architectural style and decadence of Omaha. You are being lied to, every day, by politicians and advertisers and corporations - but the photo has no relevance to this. These buildings are little more than façades.

The only real issue with OpenStreetMaps is that the quality varies significantly town-to-town depending on how much love it's had by local, knowledgable contributors. Road directions are one of the more complex things to configure in OSM, especially with complex multi-lane junctions, and so densely-populated areas and major roads are likely to be quite good, whereas more rural areas can be hit-and-miss.

Challenge in the Mist - Graham Turner

Dawn on the 14th April 1471, and Richard Duke of Gloucester and his men strain to pick out the Lancastrian army through the thick mist that envelopes the battlefield at Barnet.

At dawn on Easter Sunday, the armies of Edward IV and his one time ally, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, confronted each other near Barnet, 10 miles outside London.

A thick fog enveloped the battlefield, causing the opposing forces to misalign - Edward's right wing overlapping Warwick's left and visa versa. In the struggle that followed, the Yorkist left was outflanked and crumbled, its remnants being pursued off the field by the Earl of Oxford's men. However, when Oxford managed to regroup some of his force and return to the fray, the misalignment of the armies had caused the whole battle line to rotate and in the confusion, they found themselves engaged against their allies.

A cry of treason threw the Lancastrians into disarray and in the ensuing rout the Earl of Warwick met his end as he tried to reach his horse.

At Barnet, as at Tewkesbury two weeks later, the Yorkist vanguard was commanded by Edward's 19 year old brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester. He was involved in some of the heaviest fighting - being slightly wounded himself - and he would later have several of his retainers remembered in prayers, 'slayn in his service at the batalles of Bernett, Tekysbery or at any other feldes'.

Graham Turner's painting shows Richard with his standard bearer as they strain to see the enemy, apprehension mixed with excitement as they anticipate the slaughter that is to come.

I don't know about other countries' tests, but some in the UK are just nasal swabs, others are both tonsils and nose. The earlier tests - in my area, at least - were tonsil and nose swabs.

I've got you.

VS Code's diff tools are killer. Comparison is smarter than most, and you can edit either file as you go.

I'm all for interesting side quests, but it does hurt immersion a little when High Priest Powervac impresses upon you how urgent it is that you stop The Great Finger Eater and save the galaxy, but you've also really got to gather nine forget-me-nots for Widow Stoop and honestly, they're of equal importance.

"Kos" is short for Markos. But it's better to make assumptions than to spend a moment actually checking anything.
