Almost certainly yes, but the leaked thing from a couple years back didn’t specify a split (unlike Saban, Meyer, Fisher)

The US census used to tally horses as well, for 1900 ~85% of the 21 million or so horses were listed as being on farms. (~80% of white farms reported a horse or more, slightly less than 50% of “colored” farms reported a horse or more).
About 4.4K horses per 100k population in cities.

Oh, and they have guide cars for landing that are going >100mph on the runway.
And they get real view of the world, released picture from the balloon panic

Wasn’t just the 1920s for US factory electrification (note the charts start at 1890 and run to 1950)

This is from a decade old paper on the geologic potential which I think illustrates the political problems (and maybe the Trump desire to acquire Greenland)

Sort of in the US? This was what a somewhat common early 20th century “secondary school” text had to say, and it’s kind of rough. Many college experiences would not have elaborated further.

As point of pedantry Hitler was mostly driven in a 770. The 540K, one of which this is styled after, was owned by Göring and others. After Heydrich was killed in a 320 the Reich ordered bulletproof 540K 2-doors painted black (pic) to drive around Goebbels, Frank, Himmler, Kaltenbruner, Speer, etc.

This is a bit revisionist, look at the Big 4. Only Stanford substantially contributed to charity (University) in his lifetime. For the other three it was the heirs. Charlie Crocker was putting up 40’ spite fences with his money

The beauty of the Tiger and what makes Wehraboo so amusing is they probably didn’t do this to make the factory more efficient, they did it because they had no other choice

This is Dave today. Denying P2025 was only convincing if you were a bird brain born yesterday it was an obviously transparent lie that the press corps promulgated because they are morons. I loathe him because he’s complicit and cries about it.

He was, but it’s not an academically great school and it’s in the ex-urbs (more rural when he was there). He was a comparatively much better athlete then than anytime since. Pretty much kept the same haircut though

Also it’s not historically a particularly early marriage? Median age of first marriage for women was between 20-22 from 1890-1980.
