Meaningless semantics. He could be THE pioneer for a specific region or THE pioneer because his work changed how everyone carried out their work afterwards. Sorry, your closed interpretation is incorrect on a number of levels. I hope you're able to conduct civil discourse in the future.

I used to wear a button down shirt and a sport coat when I was a teen. Old ladies loved it but most people just thought it was weird.

A pioneer doesn't have to refer to the first to take pictures from a plane. You can have pioneers of cinema, that aren't the first to make a movie.

I love the outfit. I know only a little about period fashion, but is this an oriental inspired look? I've never seen a child dressed like this.

My old neighbor's house was going to be demolished because a trolley line was being put in. They picked up the house that weekend and moved it a hundred feet forward. Old farm ingenuity. My neighbor was 97 when he died about 20 years ago. He saw the model t start to replace horse and buggy.

Most important tools? Double barrel shotgun? Pistol? Keep the locals from stealing your production. Hopefully didn't need to use them on the lawman.

Look at the bow on the stone steps! It's astounding how many footfalls it took to slowly wear them down over how long? Modern structures just don't last that long. Not to mention those stairs are probably really dangerous because they're so uneven.

I had an entirely different youth than suggested. Lot of bullying. No one I would consider a friend until middle school when I found the nerds.

Remember when you saw an encyclopedia and thought how valuable all that information would be? It's both great that there's easier access to information but sad that those old encyclopedias are almost worthless now.

My father purchased an old building, it turned out to be the first grocery store in our region. Families would travel all day by horse and buggy, stay the night in the boarding rooms on the third floor and then drive home. The second floor was the owner's home. Sadly, there wasn't much of the store left aside from two really nice display shelves and an enormous rope operated lift (8ftx6ft) that went to storage on the second and third floor.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of it. If they're yellow bellies, I wonder if they're grinding steel or possibly brass from a crossguard or pins. Dust in the lungs isn't good, but I'm not aware of any particularly bad effects from exposure. (Would silica dust be just as bad I mean?)

It doesn't say he was the first one. By saying "the pioneer of aerial photography" it just means he helped develop aerial photography into what it has become and paved the way for others to follow.

Please don't repeat media lies about Chicago. Cities like Rochester, NY and St. Louis, MO, have far more crime and gun violence, but Conservatives have been making Chicago out to be some urban hellscape since the early 2000s because 1) it's where Obama is from, and 2) black people. None of that is true. All large metropolitan areas have problems, because that is just what happens when you pack a lot of people and businesses into expensive close quarters, but no one is running around with handguns in the streets. Stop it.

Yeah, you didn't just throw one of these lingerie dresses in the wash! The skirts often had a lining or even a rope-like fringe layer underneath, where they dragged, so those pieces could be removed and washed. But mostly, you spot-treated the hems and the underarms when the dress was soiled, and that was pretty much it. One of the many reasons why so few of these garments survive.

Date is wrong, it's from 1939. She was 3 years old & from Shetland where one of the primary incomes was from knitting so they taught it from as early as possible and even in school. She's using a knitting belt that assists her. There were a quite a few shots of her; school photos, "rowing" a bot with her father, etc. Source: https://photos.shetlandmuseumandarchives.org.uk/index.php?a=QuickSearch&q=Chrissie%20Cheyne&WINID=1655305487822

unfortunately anti-vaxxers are really not new. Shortly after the passage of Great Britain's Vaccination Act of 1853 that made vaccination against smallpox mandatory, the Anti-Vaccination League was created, followed by another protest movement, the Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League. https://www.newsweek.com/history-anti-vaxxers-vaccination-1358403

As for the age gap, xkcd had a really good algorithm to check an age gap. The older person shouldn't date anyone that is their age/2+7. Anyone younger than that is creepy. So did this one pass that test? You tell me.

They would have considered themselves to be girls. I'll never understand why it is demeaning to be called a girl. And why shouldn't we call an actress an actress rather than an actor? Is actress a pejorative term? Are words that indicate whether one is female pejorative? If so - why is being a girl or a woman seen as being negative? I don't understand it. In Ireland all ages of females are often referred to as girls . . . . . and all ages of men are referred to as boys. Wassaproblem with that?
