You left out squash, many of varieties of were a staple vegetable across North America (and possibly South as well? I'm less familiar.) Also, peppers. Extremely important.

Weird. I was graciously fed that when I was filming a powwow in Indiana for the local news and they just called them "Indian Tacos." I wonder why they didn't give the Navajo credit?

Edit: also...

What I think is fascinating is that there is conclusive evidence that Polynesians and Indigenous South Americans interbred.

But only once.

The Mississippians were growing corn in the Midwest. I am sure it was grown in the East as well. When you have a domesticated plant that grows pretty much everywhere and is able to fulfill a lot of your dietary needs, it spreads and spreads. See wheat or rice. Or in the Andes, potatoes. Or taro in Polynesia.

Sticking people in a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay is not deporting them.

Why does the West have to 'assimilate' them? Why can't the cultures merge?

If you're going to challenge the definition of such words, perhaps you should know the difference between 'immigrate' and 'emigrate.'

Trump Proposes X.
Media: "Trump can't do X."
Trump [Does it anyway.]
Media: "Judge says Trump can't do X."
Trump: [Does it anyway.]
Media: "Trump uses executive order to do X."
Trump: [Was doing it from the start.]

The one from Newsweek? The map isn't even accurate. Indiana is on it for, based on the data, no apparent reason.

Specifically, the American citizens who are part of the Trump administration.

This could be my new Riker...

Gonna mess our mind?

"Mike Johnson says this" doesn't make it reality. Or factual.

As for factual:

Republican presidents have added slightly more to the national debt per term than Democratic presidents, according to inflation-adjusted data from the U.S. Treasury Department and the Bureau of Labor Statistics dating back to 1913.

Interesting! I had no idea. Thanks!

I don't know, President Vance sounds like a tragedy to me...

The ceilings here are super high. I wouldn't be able to reach it. Would a heated ceiling be all that efficient?

Apartment. First floor (second floor for Americans). Heat does rise, so maybe that's it?

So it's just really good insulation?

Would the walls and floor still be cold if they were doing that? I honestly have no idea how that would work.

I am not on the ground floor, and I thought maybe it would be some under-floor heating thing like you are saying, but I have walked all over the room in bare feet and felt no heat in the floor.
