Interesting link! I didn’t know the misuse went back so far.

I have a double whammy: Nonplussed.
Bewildered; unsure how to respond or act. Double whammy because it does not mean not-plussed like many people seem to think.
It’s trickling down, people just have to be patient! /s
I found this story googling.
I met Barack Obama at a State Department reception early in his presidency. A colleague who wanted to test his skills at Indonesian asked him, “Mr. President, did you know that in Indonesia they still call you ‘anak Menteng’?”
“Anak” means “child of” and Menteng is a neighborhood in the capital of Jakarta where many of the country’s elite live.
President Obama quickly answered. “Oh, saya bukan anak Menteng. Saya anak Menteng Dalam.” (Oh, I’m not a Menteng kid. I’m a kid from Inner Menteng.”)
In Indonesia, this roughly means “I’m from the back streets where the workers and servants live.” The US equivalent might be “I’m not from Park Avenue. I’m from the alley behind Park Avenue.

Supposed to be a vent, but there is no hole in the roof. Contractor did not cut hole in the roof, just installed the “vent” so that it looks ok.

Some other wiki reading:
Napoleon needed peace with Britain to take possession of Louisiana [from Spain]. Otherwise, Louisiana would be an easy prey for a potential invasion from Britain or the U.S. But in early 1803, continuing war between France and Britain seemed unavoidable. On March 11, 1803, Napoleon began planning an invasion of Great Britain.[15][16]
In Saint-Domingue, Leclerc’s forces took Louverture prisoner, but their expedition soon faltered in the face of fierce resistance and disease. By early 1803, Napoleon decided to abandon his plans to rebuild France’s New World empire. Without sufficient revenues from sugar colonies in the Caribbean, Louisiana had little value to him. Spain had not yet completed the transfer of Louisiana to France, and war between France and the UK was imminent. Out of anger towards Spain and the unique opportunity to sell something that was useless and not truly his yet, Napoleon decided to sell the entire territory.[17]
I was under the impression that there wasn’t much farming at the time in that region. Nothing like the population today. It was mostly fur trapping.
Also in the event of a war, they have to consider if they could defend it. So the expense to try to defend it and probably lose it anyway, or some cash right now.
I always heard he needed the money for his European ambitions.
a slave revolt at the colony beginning in 1791 that led to the successful Haitian Revolution in 1804 frightened those living in the Southern United States who supported slavery, raising fears that it would inspire other slaves.[7][10] Such sentiments among wealthy slaveholding Americans strained relations between the United States and Haiti, with the United States initially refusing to recognize Haitian independence while slaveholders advocated for a trade embargo with the newly created Caribbean nation.[10] The Haiti indemnity controversy – which France forced upon Haiti through gunboat diplomacy in 1825 due to France’s financial loss following Haiti’s independence – resulted with Haiti using much of its revenue to pay debt to foreign nations by the late-1800s.[11]

They talk about blends which is interesting.
I think this can take a lot of waste products. Granted we use a lot of waste products to feed livestock, not sure the overlap.

There’s also a wide world of alt letter layouts.
Reading more of this, the Beechcraft may be used for basic training, then the T7 for advanced training. The Scorpion would have been smack in the middle, doing neither as well, and probably not worth it.
Sounds like they want to armed version of the T7. So everything armed.
This way employees take half an hour to go to the coffee shop instead. Genius.
Oh no 5 seconds.
Disagree. Electric the heat goes into the pan. Gas you get heat fucking everywhere, it’s so uncomfortable. And loud if you’re doing it right and have the fan on full blast. I don’t understand how people think it’s hard to cook on electric.
If you’re in a small place, you store where you can. I get the impression most people never use their oven.
Which is a repackaging of the satanic panic.
