Not quite today, but… lead in gasoline up til 1995. Also an honorable mention is modern vehicle safety, as the crumple zone in vehicles used to be whatever poor souls happen to be in the car at the time. Head on collision? Hope the passenger doesn’t mind having an engine ejected onto their lap. :/

Lol, I love it how article says that German's plans were inspired by Italy and then in the ends casually mentions that Germans have been migrating/colonizing the east for centuries. GPO didn't come from Italy, it was outgrowth of something Germans have been doing for a very long time and Hitler's idea of Lebensraum was just extreme form of something Germany last attempted at Brest-Litovsk

Hey all, wanted to share: I 3d scanned the interior of Khufu's pyramid for the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and Giza Project at Harvard University under the direction of Doctor Peter Der Manuelian and working on site with Inspector Ezzat Salama.

I just finished coding up the guided version here and would love any feedback/problems you might encounter to continue to improve.

I've been interviewing 6th grade social studies teachers to try to use the 3d scans I've been making for creating educational resources and wrote the tour and some related articles so students can continue learning after visiting.

Cheers from Cairo, and thanks for any feedback/comments.

Mussolini had a thing for trains, yes.

Question: What did Israel gain in their deal to return the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt? during the 7 day war

That I don't understand, as creating gun cotton is basically just a nitration which is one of the more basic chemical reactions out there.

Are you sure it was chemicals? Maybe they just told too many lies.

You should check Asmara out. It's pretty much a 1930 Italian city in the Horn Of Africa.

It's OK, I read the chemical in question as "Sodium ChlorIDE" not "Sodium ChlorATE".

Was wondering how table salt killed weeds then made trousers explode...

In larger cities, and amongst certain groups, absolutely, using 'Aotearoa' instead of 'New Zealand is becoming common place, however (anecdotally) most people will still use "New Zealand" over "Aotearoa"

Aren’t most of the train lines still in issue in Libya built by the Italians? I remember seeing a graph of Italians in the country by year and it was crazy

Loved this, thank you for sharing! 👖

The BBC History Extra podcast just did an eight part series on the end of Roman Britain, which sounds like it might be up your street...

If it were today it would be used as an argument as to why gas cars are impossible as there's no infrastructure.

Quite a horrible topic.

Anecdotally, but: Aotearoa is used more commonly than "New Zealand" when talking to people in the country that live here, generally. It's fairly common in NZ English to use te Reo Maori words in place of English ones, and it's growing more and more popular to use Aotearoa in this sense.

No one will get at you for using "New Zealand" though. I think even the people who are pro "Aotearoa" mainly would like the country to be called "Aotearoa - New Zealand"

Damn with the heat I’m packing o would have been quite lethal…
