i take it to mean that the definition depends on how you've learned about it.

a real world example is world war 2: if you're an american it started in 1941; meanwhile if you're chinese, it started in 1931; and if you're swiss or scandinavian it lasted until the 1950's

even in the same country it can be different, another real world example is the mexican rebellion of the early 20th century. if you're a religious/social conservative it went from 1921 to 1933; if you're not, it went from 1921 to 1923 and then there several followup wars like the cristero rebellion that lasted until 1933

conflicts don't cleanly start and end; they windup and then winddown slowly and it's up to you to define where the start and end are; and since we're all have different definitions, others will have different dates.

nowadays, they're called "moderate" or "centrist".

it's not a theory, it's fact: the smell is rotting flesh (and dairy for most) and animals on earth rely on it to know if something is nearby them.

i was a huge couch potato addicted to all the trek content i could find and i somehow missed this; thanks for the nostalgia and the icing on the cake is that i had the same remote control during the same period.

Into the grave next to the Cosby show; I'm no longer certain that living in an age rapid information exchange is a good thing. Lol

make periodic backups of your gmail account content on your own computer(s) and setup auto responder on gmail to use a new email address; easy peasy
