    In 1943, a US bomber over Germany was hit by explosive ordnance directly in the fuel tanks 11 times, but none exploded. After the shells were cut open, all were found to have no explosives in them, and one contained a note in Czech saying "This is all we can do for you now".

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                              Are people still dying of AIDS? A gay sportscaster died at 33 of an auto immune disease that he's had for 20 years. That's an interesting narrative if it's AIDS.

                              https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/matt-napolitano-fox-news-audio-and-sports-reporter-dead-at-33/ar-AA1m4ruO?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=cc8f06058d5e438cb82589bb9a8600a3&ei=19

                              Education is extremely important.

                                Was he a sportscaster that happened to be gay, or did he report on gay sports?

                                  Not sure how much soccer reporting he did.

                                    Based purely on Bayesian priors, I suspect it’s more likely he died of one of the many rare autoimmune diseases out there

                                          Doggerland, 9,000 years ago, connected Britain to continental Europe through a mix of marshes, swamps, wooded valleys, and hills. It was likely inhabited by humans during the Mesolithic period and served as a hunting ground.

                                          However, ice melted, sea levels rose, and Doggerland became submerged, cutting off the British peninsula from Europe around 7,000 BC. Today, Doggerland is a productive fishing bank, with fishermen dredging up hand-made bone artifacts, textile fragments, paddles, canoes, fish traps, a 13,000-year-old human remains, and a woolly mammoth skull
