The UN was founded in 1945. I have reason to believe that countries existed long before that.

I just rebase my feature branches before merging. Keeps the tree more or less linear.

The author didn't say "most", she puts the number murdered at 300. Either way most people rightly describe the incident as a massacre.

He didn't declassify them. They were scheduled to be declassified. Trump's involvement was that the IC asked him to stop them from being declassified and he ignored their request, probably out of spite for the IC.

I'm no Chinese expert, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I've found that the Chinese word 茶 (cha) doesn't always necessarily mean tea, but can refer generically to a number of different brewed drinks. e.g. barley tea (大麥茶), ginger tea (薑茶), golden oats tea (燕麥茶), etc. all of which translate to tea, but often contain no tea leaves. It may seem like a nitpick, but when you're in China and order what you expect to be a ginger flavored tea, only to receive a cup of hot water with chopped ginger at the bottom, the distinction can be important. That isn't to say you can't simply order 茶 in China and receive what you would expect, as long as you're expecting green tea. Likewise, if you simply order tea in England, you'll likely receive what the Chinese call 紅茶 (red tea). So in my mind, the words aren't exactly equivalent and I wonder how much the different variations of tea and cha relate to themselves and each other.

Edit: Applied jpatokal's correction.

How does one secure a deer to their bumper anyway? I figured a better place would be the roof or the bed of a truck. A Google image search for "deer on the bumper" only turns up roadkill.

I'm beginning to think either these quotes are fake or James Hetfield doesn't actually hunt.

The problem that the author describes is that eBay does not accept proof and offers no way to submit it.
