It can take around 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain it’s full. If you’ve already eaten too much in the first 10 minutes, you haven’t given your brain the chance to figure it out. Half an hour later, you’re sure to feel uncomfortable from too much food. Slow down and you may find that not only do you eat fewer calories, but you also feel more satisfied.

Dari (دری, Darī, [dæˈɾiː]) or Dari Persian (فارسی دری, Fārsī-ye Darī, [fɒːɾsije dæˈɾiː]) or synonymously Farsi (فارسی, Fārsī, [fɒːɾsiː]), is a political term referring to all the varieties of the Persian language spoken in Afghanistan. Dari is the term officially recognized and promoted since 1964 by the Afghan government for the Persian language, hence, it is also known as Afghan Persian in many Western sources. This has resulted in a naming dispute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari

The guillotine remained France’s state method of capital punishment well into the late 20th century. Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person to meet his end by the “National Razor” after he was executed by the guillotine in 1977. Still, the machine’s 189-year reign only officially came to an end in September 1981, when France abolished capital punishment.
“Then-President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who had voiced his "loathing for the death penalty" before he was elected to office, flatly turned down Djandoubi's appeal for clemency and chose to let "Justice run its course", as he did on two previous instances (Christian Ranucci, , executed on July 28, 1976 and Jérôme Carrein,
, executed on June 23, 1977).“

If you have a latex allergy, you could have a reaction to bananas too. That's because bananas and latex have similar proteins. Symptoms can be mild like an itchy mouth or more severe with hives, wheezing, or even a collapsed throat. You will likely feel symptoms seconds to minutes after eating a banana. If you have had a reaction to bananas in the past, you should avoid the fruit and be careful to make sure they aren't in salads or baked goods.

Raw meat or poultry may carry harmful bacteria like salmonella. If you like to stuff and truss a raw turkey on a cutting board, use one made of nonporous materials like glass, ceramic, or marble. If you use a wooden cutting board, go for bamboo. It’s harder and more resistant to bacteria than other types of wood.

A feature in Web browsers that allows the user to move around a Web page and highlight selections with the keyboard rather than a mouse. Users unaccustomed to a laptop touchpad often find caret browsing easier to use for selecting text. The caret is the name of the vertical "|" text cursor.

To disable the feature for all tabs and windows, click "Tools," select "Internet Options," clear the "Enable Caret Browsing for New Windows and Tabs" check box and click "OK." Any windows and tabs you already had open will still have caret browsing

Switzerland was neutral in World War II but was still armed to the teeth. When Germany invaded neutral Belgium in WWI to attack France from a better position, the Swiss got very scared (rightly so). They made a plan called “The National Redoubt”, essentially designed so that any enemy would look at Switzerland on a map and decide that it was not worth it to annex Switzerland. They started a compulsory military draft for men and were able to mobilise an army of 400,000 men in 2 days since men had to (and they still do) keep their rifles at home. It is noteworthy that these people were trained to fight in the mountainous Swiss terrain. Anti-tank guns were disguised as barns. There’s stuff like this in the entire country, especially in the Alpine Southern region. For example, in the photo shown below, the building on the left is a machine gun nest and the one on the right is an anti-tank gun. They are connected by an underground tunnel.
