Photographic films, with pictures taken 70 years ago, sat undeveloped in an old camera until now. Then someone bought the camera from a thrift store -- luckily someone who knows how to handle very, very old films -- and developed them. Pictures in article.

It’s more weird that in 1500 there were zero potatoes in Europe and now we think of it as ‘traditional’ food in Germany, Eastern Europe, Ireland, etc.

Take that even further. Even through the starvation during 30 Years War, Germans wouldn’t touch the things. They used them to feed livestock but wouldn’t eat them themselves.

Can you be more specific
I don’t have the time to research it, but I’d bet that Morgantown, WV is over 100K if you count college students. Maryland having 2 cities with 100K? Baltimore, of course. Columbia, Annapolis, and Frederick should all be there as well. My bet is Gaithersburg and Germantown will push it as well…

When a Mexican restaurant does ramen ...
I went into a new (at least to me) Mexican restaurant and surprised to find a ramen dish on the menu. First time I have ever sees a ramen dish in a Mexican restaurant. So I tried it. It looked scary red, as if it's going be off-the-chart spicy hot, but turned out it's quite mild. Flavorful, yes, but not spicy hot.
It's shredded beef on top of ramen noodle in deep red broth, served with two birria rolls on the side (beef and cheese inside). The birria rolls were supposed to be crispy (I believe), but they were somewhat limp and soggy, so that's a bit disappointing to me. Still tasty though, and the ramen itself was certainly mild and interesting.

Interesting except I don’t think there’s any meaningful sense in which China is still communist.
Agree. And I would say that DPRK is "probably" more communist at now than China, at least when looking at state control of industrial and retail things. For some reason, they disappear from being communist between 1992 and 2009. #shrug
