Pretty sure they're implying that the region west of the 13 colonies was called the Midwest, not that Ohio was considered the Midwest because it was one of the original colonies...

Having access to research resources in your pocket can be a good thing for in class assignments. I haven't been in school for 10 years, but given the right curriculum and teachers, cell phone use in classrooms can be beneficial. My history classes were less about memorizing dates and more about understanding how historical events impacted the world and led to other events, like the direct line that can be drawn between WWII, the cold War, and modern conflicts.

But you need proper oversight and instruction to ensure it's relevant use.

Man I hope you stretched before those mental gymnastics, wouldn't want you to pull your victim complex muscle.

Some Vines are so deeply embedded in my memory that I'm sure I'll still be able to quote them even after the dementia has destroyed my ability to recognize my loved ones.

In hospice, surrounded by grieving loved ones saying their last goodbyes, the nurse watching on as I'm drifting away confused and irritable, doing their best to ensure my passing is as comfortable as possible, with my last breath I'll mutter "road work ahead? Yeah I sure hope it does"...

Why did Israeli police do nothing to stop the increasing violence perpetrated by illegal Israeli Settlers attacking Palestinians, of which Palestinian police are forbidden to react to? Their cops aren't allowed to do anything, their illegal occupants cops won't do anything, and the majority of Israeli Jews say they dont want Palestinians to have the right to vote if they annex Gaza. A minority of Israelis support a two state solution.

It's not like Israel has been trying to play ball with them.

The war on drugs would like a word.

Dogma is something that is "incontrovertibly" true. Science doesn't work that way, you can't just believe gravity doesn't exist and then the Earth stops orbiting the sun. You can't just decide water only freezes at 0°C regardless of pressure. But you can believe that abortion is a grave sin and murder a doctor for it.

What you're saying is when people attempt to twist data to support their preconceived beliefs. For instance Belgians used phrenology to confirm their belief that Tutsis were superior to Hutus and fuel the Rwandan genocide. They already believed their racist dogma and attempted to use "science" to prove it. But science doesn't have a bias, and it has no dogma.

And no, it's not a typo. Darwin purported the idea that offspring of sexual organisms received their traits through gemmules shed by each organ of the body. Another scientist reviewed this theory by analyzing rabbit blood and found no gemmules, because those only exist in asexual reproduction, sponges specifically. The lack of evidence of gemmules essentially proves the theory of pangenesis wrong.

Nope, this is wrong, because science doesn't have "beliefs" it has theories, which change based on evidence, peer review, and experiments. How often do you see atheists congregate in a laboratory, with a scientist leading a sermon from "On the Origin of Species"? Darwin got things wrong too, but you don't see different sects of atheism who argue over whether individual traits are passed down to Offspring via genes or gemmules. Because one has evidence and peer review to back it up, and one lacks evidence because it was peer reviewed.

Set it to auto on the left lever's knob. And are you talking about the speed settings for the windshield wipers? It should be just pushing the right lever down. There are 4 positions, off-lo-med-hi. Hold up for a quick wipe, pull towards you for windshield washer fluid, and away from you for the rear windshield fluid.

That's weird because I have a base model 2018 Rav and it definitely does.

The problem is that there are no other sources on this. All the articles I've read through cite i24 or the IDF who only have soldier accounts of what was seen, but no soldiers named.

One of the articles mentioned multiple journalists being there yet i24 is the only one talking about it. i24 is also based in Tel Aviv.

Until separate accounts or physical evidence comes out, this can't be taken as the whole truth. Too many red flags.
