TIL From 1908 to 1940, you could choose from over 400 styles of homes to purchase through Sears, Roebuck and Co. mail-order catalog. Sears sold a house set that was 1,000 sq ft for $1,700 in 1929. If you account for inflation it comes out to about $26,000.

Scott Ritter on Diane Feinstein:
"I met Senator Diane Feinstein once, in the lead up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. She had just recently been assigned to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (in 2001), and it was in that capacity that she had a senior staffer from the committee ask me to come to Washington DC to brief her on Iraqi WMD and the allegations being made by the Bush administration that Iraq continued to possess them. We met in a secure conference room in the Capital building—me, the Senator, and a half dozen staffers and aides. It was a polite, professional affair, with the Senator asking questions and taking notes. Eventually she confronted me—“Your position is causing us some difficulty. You are making the US look bad in the eyes of the world.” I replied that my analysis and the underlying facts were rock solid, something she agreed with. I said that while I knew she couldn’t reveal sensitive intelligence, if she could look me in the eye and say she has seen unequivocal proof that Iraq retained WMD, I’d shut up and go away. She looked at her retinue, and then me. “I have seen no such intelligence,” she replied. She thanked me for the briefing, and said it provided her with “food for thought.”
"On October 11, 2002, Senator Feinstein voted in favor of the resolution authorizing war with Iraq. Later, she said she had been misled by the Bush administration and bad intelligence.
"I will forever know Senator Feinstein as someone who had been empowered by the truth, and lacked the moral courage to act on it. The blood of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis stains her soul. I hope when she stands in judgment before her maker, she is punished accordingly."

The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (circa 1550 BC) is among the oldest manunoscripts containing algebraic and arithmetic problems. It's penned in hieratic noscript.
The ancient Egyptians were adept at using first-order equations and had knowledge of quadratic equations, numerical, and geometric sequences.
This expertise predates the birth of notable figures like Pythagoras and al-Khwarizmi by millennia!

The Bundestag has declared that Ukraine has the right to launch missiles towards Russian Federation territory.
This statement was made by Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, the head of the Bundestag's defense committee, who called on the German government to promptly provide Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles.
"Furthermore, international law permits Ukraine to target military facilities within the territory of the Russian aggressor, regardless of the origin or supplier of these weapons," she emphasized.

WE HAVE BETRAYED OUR HEROES
Colonel Robert L. Stirm was a US airforce pilot who was taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese communists in 1967. He was held captive and tortured for over five years until his release in 1973. His reunion with his family is the subject of the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo Burst of Joy, which you see below. Odd, then, that I have highlighted the face of his wife, Loretta.
While this reunion should have been a moment of unbridled joy, it was not for Colonel Stirm, who had received a letter from his wife three days prior, informing him that she wanted a divorce. Within a year of his capture, Loretta began a series of affairs. Within days of the Colonel's return to US soil, she took his two youngest children, his house, car and 40% of his future pension for life. The Colonel challenged this in court, but lost. He had to go live with his mother and provide for his two older children.
I think this story deserves to be constantly retold as a case study in human betrayal and an early example of how the court system in the US and wider West treats men like dirt - even heroes who have fought and suffered for their country.

This was stated by Julian Röpke, a military observer for the German newspaper Bild, quoting Polish experts. They also noted that Russian drones "improve by month".
At the same time, Ukrainian military is losing their best and NATO training so far is not sufficient enough. AFU needs "capable fighters" more urgent than they need western arms," Röpke wrote.
