“ And just to get this out of the way, we’re in no danger from this explosion. It’s far too far away. ” Also, it happened 12 million years ago, so I think we are pretty safe.

Overly misleading title: they own as much as the poorest half of the world, not half the wealth in the world (which would be hardly identifiable anyway).

Your "pic" also shows us half a dozen of your friend's names (in the right column) and one conversation mini-window (at the bottom, in Dutch) under the Facebook overlay. I advise you crop/blur those parts.

This is about the 3rd line of the truth table of the implication: | A | B | A -> B | | T | T | T | | T | F | F | | F | T | T | | F | F | T | If A is false and B is true, then A => B is true. Wh

This actually goes for beyond that! 70 is sixty-ten (soixante-dix), then 71 is sixty-eleven... and so on, up to 99: four-twenty-nineteen. Indeed, 80 is 4 times 20, hence "four-twenty" (quatre-vingt, without the "s" at th
