YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE

Because of this we have blind spots, one for each eye. They are not usually noticeable because 1) the blind spot of one eye can usually be seen by the other, and 2) the brain fills in the gap.

So with this I will perform a magic trick, I will make your thumb disappear: Close your left eye and with your right look at a spot in the background, make a thumbs up gesture and place the tip of your thumb on that spot, move your thumb to the the right continuing to look at the spot in the background, when your thumb moves about 15 cm your thumb should disappear.

You can use your left eye too, just switch the directions.

The 2nd biggest religion in each state (US)

Reply in thread

We don't really. The largest group is obviously Christian. The second largest group in every state is those with no religion, but they are ignored here. And the remaining 1-13 percent is split among a number of minority groups, meaning that the second largest religion in each state is only about <1-6 percent of the population.

That is in the video, although it is in Spanish.

Autoridades de EE. UU. anunciaron que ICE y otras agencias federales estarán en Milán durante el evento. Argumenten que protegerán a los estadounidenses visitantes y le delegación de su país.

Ah, so SHE was responsible for my low GPA!

What about Plato's Academy? It was an institution of higher learning, and it certainly existed long before the one in the meme. I'm not saying that the Academy was the first one either, it wouldn't surprise me if there were others before hand.

It seems to me like the claim "the oldest currently existing university" got converted to "the first university" and those are definitely not the same.

German is not the same as Germanic. Both German and English evolved from a common ancestor, which we call Proto-Germanic.

'Who' and 'Where' are '*hwaz' and '*hwar' in Proto-Germanic.

I would say that in this case German strayed more than English.
