Reply to comment by tykneedanser in Naval Academy Renames Building After Jimmy Carter by langis_on

He has had a submarine named in his honor for almost 20 years now.

Many institutions will not name building or other features after anyone living. That is actually the normal, written, policy on warship naming for the US navy. However they have made enough exceptions to that guideline now that they may as well take that one off the books.

In 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill man who believed that the Domino's Pizza "Avoid the Noid" ads were personally directed towards him, antagonizing him. He took 2 Domino's employees hostage at gunpoint. by SilentWalrus92

I miss late 80's early 90's Little Caesars when it was the square pizza! pizza! variety (2 in a box at the time). For a time, not that long in the scheme of things, they were better than the other delivery places.

Reply to comment by CrustalTrudger in Is there a term for lake bottoms that "hour glass" (temporarily becomes wider following a "shelf" as the depth increases ) , how do bathymetric maps depict this, and does this have a common affect on turbidity, thermoclines, or other characters? by Irisgrower2

Here is what I get from this: Picture a nice round lake at the surface shaped like a vertical hourglass in depth, thats is the "gets wider" part and what i think OP is asking about.

it is an interesting question, and is a quite possible shape. The first thing that comes to mind is the lake in Louisiana that flooded a salt dome underneath it, generating not an hourglass shape but a huge flooded cavern under the lake. This is at least a similar layout to the question.

Reply to comment by JugglinB in TIL cholera was reintroduced to Haiti after a century by UN peacekeepers responding to the 2010 earthquake. The resulting outbreak was the worst on record, killing 10,000 and infecting 820,000. by theworkinglad

You don't think, but it is fairly evident from actual studies the outbreak indeed originated at the peacekeeping base. The UN itself has accepted responsibility for the outbreak.

They had been complaining of it before the earthquake, and even investigating the same source. The breakdown of conditions after the quake allowed it to grow in scale.

tl;dr: Genetic analysis of the Cholera strain matched it with the strain found in Nepal.
