Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

The jerrycan is one of the most consequential pieces of military equipment to emerge from the Second World War, yet few people know its story. It was designed in Germany in 1937 by Vinzenz Grünvogel of Müller engineering firm in Schwelm. The Wehrmacht specified that a soldier had to be able to carry two full cans or four empty ones, which drove the distinctive triple-handle design. The rectangular shape made the cans stackable, the recessed welded seam resisted impact damage, and an interior plastic lining allowed the same can to carry either fuel or water. An air pocket built into the design allowed the can to float if dropped in water. By 1939, Germany had stockpiled thousands of these cans in preparation for war, issuing them to motorized troops alongside rubber hose for siphoning fuel from any available source. The Allies had no equivalent. American engineer Paul Pleiss encountered three of the cans in Berlin and flew back to Philadelphia to alert military officials, but could generate no interest. The British Army relied on a flimsy four-gallon tin container that leaked at its crimped seams, often losing as much as twenty-five percent of transported fuel before it reached troops. At least one cargo ship exploded from fuel vapors accumulating in its hold from leaking containers. When British forces captured German jerrycans during the Norwegian Campaign in 1940 and later in North Africa, they used them in preference to their own equipment whenever possible. The United States eventually reverse-engineered the design, though their version replaced the recessed welded seam with rolled seams prone to leaking and removed the interior lining from fuel cans. Even the inferior American copy proved transformative: over nineteen million were required to support US forces in Europe alone by May 1945. President Franklin Roosevelt credited the jerrycan directly with enabling Allied armies to advance across France at a pace that exceeded Germany's own Blitzkrieg of 1940. The Soviet Union recognized the design's value and adopted it as their standard liquid container, a version still produced in Russia today. The jerrycan remains a NATO standard container and a direct descendant of Grünvogel's 1937 design is still in use across military and civilian contexts worldwide. #archaeohistories

@overton_news Obama’s grandfather was arrested , imprisoned and tortured by the English. It had to do with the MauMau uprising in Kenya. I thought he sent the bust to the English embassy.

President Trump just embarrassed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in front of the world. He stopped his press conference, pointed at the bust of Winston Churchill behind him — and made the comparison that stunned the media in the room. TRUMP: “So yeah I’m disappointed with him. I like him, I think he’s a nice man but I’m disappointed.” [Points to bust behind him] “You see that man right there? You know who that is?” “That’s the late, great Winston Churchill, and Barack Hussein Obama did not want his bust in this office.” “Did you know that? And Barack Hussein Obama sent that bust back to England. They didn’t want it.” “And when I came in, I was asked if I wanted it. I said absolutely I wanted it, and I put it right there Winston Churchill.” “And you know…unfortunately Keir is not Winston Churchill.”

@DogsBczPplSuck @DogsBczPplSuck These are the only photos I've ever seen of the nurse. Much of what is known about Walt comes from her. She was the source for the biography in the 70's. She also wrote songs for several Disney projects. For some reason she's not a Disney Legend but should be.

@Real_Ed_McCray Kitty Carlisle came to our town’s film festival years ago. They played her Marx Brothers movie in a public showing, then had a private showing at a home of Kitty’s personal copy of SOTS. My mom was thrilled. It was one of her favorite movies.

James Baskett is the first black actor to ever receive an Oscar (& it was an eternal Oscar for this very role!) and look at how many disrespect him including Woke Disney. They have a history of purging black actors from their history.

Nobody writes about the fell at night. The photographers come in the morning when the light is good. The journalists come in August when the weather permits. The documentary crews want the golden hour, the sweep of the fells, the picturesque drystone walls with a flattering sky behind them. Nobody stays for the dark. In January, on the fell where Doris lives, the dark arrives at four in the afternoon and does not leave until eight the following morning. Sixteen hours of dark. Temperature between zero and minus eight depending on the clearness of the sky. Wind from the southwest, persistent. The fell is not visible from below in cloud. The farmer's house lights do not reach the upper section. Doris is up there. Doris is fine up there. Doris has the wool, which is 8cm thick and lanolin-coated and keeps her dry inside it regardless of what the sky is doing. She has the rumen, which generates heat from fermentation as a byproduct of digestion, which is why she doesn't shiver in cold that would be dangerous for most animals her size. She has the knowledge of the fell, acquired in her first winter and stored completely: where the wall blocks the wind, where the ground stays driest, where the frost sits longest and where it doesn't reach at all. At two in the morning, in January, in the dark, with snow coming in off the Irish Sea and the temperature dropping and the fell completely invisible from below, Doris is in the correct spot. Not approximately correct. Precisely correct. The spot behind the east wall that blocks the worst of the southwest wind, where the ground is dry, where she has slept on every comparable night since her first winter. She found it by paying attention. She remembered it by considering it worth remembering. She goes there without hesitation, in the dark, in conditions that would disorient most people with a torch and a map. The farmer knows she's fine because Doris is always fine. He checks in the morning. She's always in the spot, or already grazing from it. No drama. No incident. No record required. The fell is fine. The walls are fine. At eight the next morning, the light comes back. Doris is already on the move. Doris has been on the move since five. The fell doesn't ask Doris to explain the night. The fell already knows.

I know all these ghastly phrases have become normal as English evolves but “very complete” is very ugly. Complete, almost complete : fine. But “very complete” when something is not complete at all bothers me. I’m probably tired! Goodnight.

@WolfofX Sounds a bit like mine. When I was a kid this old Japanese guy moved into my street. He was quite well off - he had several cars, but his garden fence badly needed painting, so he paid me to do that. Took hours. Then he said all his cars needed waxing. Anyway... it was useful.

Someone just told me about this woman on Instagram who genuinely thought "JFC" stood for "just for clarification." She'd been dropping it casually in professional emails for years. It instantly reminded me of my own mom, who for the longest time was convinced "LOL" meant "lots of love." I swear to God, she once commented on a Facebook post where someone had shared tragic news: "So sorry for your loss. LOL."

El crucifijo de oro que el expresidente de Bolivia Jaime Paz Zamora entregó en 1990 al entonces mandatario estadounidense George W. Bush regresó a la familia Paz. El pacto establecía que sería devuelto cuando uno de sus hijos llegara a la Presidencia del país. La promesa se cumplió y el secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio, entregó la pieza al actual mandatario. A fines de 2025, Paz había recibido una nota que indicaba que Bush cumplió su palabra. 📌Manténgase informado en eldeber.com.bo #ElDeber #EstadosUnidos #Bolivia #RodrigoPaz #CrucifijoDeOro 📹Dircom

I don’t understand the videos of people taking their shredded cheese home - rinsing it with water then patting it dry it to remove the anticoagulants. If you had time to do that you had time to shred a regular block of cheese on a box grater. 🤷‍♀️

I'm buying a church. I’ve made a cash offer of £225,000 to purchase this church, which was about to close and be sold off to developers. I'm fed up with driving past all these churches in the UK that used to thrive, support the community, and feed the homeless. Now, just look at these beautiful church buildings. So many are boarded up, closed down, with developers queueing up to profit from converting them into flats. I simply can't accept that a building built to glorify Jesus for generations can be turned into something solely for profit. So I've placed an offer on a church in my hometown. My plan is to buy it and offer it completely free of charge, with zero rent, to a church willing to worship Jesus here and serve others. What do you think of this idea?
