This deals with the 80's and back then there were a lot of versions of crack that contained a mixture of cocaine and heroin. So cocaine itself would not be entirely correct.
Law enforcement members of my family tell me that crack is made by dissolving powdered cocaine in water and mixing with something else such as ammonia which turns it into rock form. So, nearly but not exactly the same thing.
I must have typed in versions of Diego Miradona 20 times before I realized I was misspelling his name. That goal is almost as much fun to watch as his 'Hand of God' goal, especially with VH Morales' commentary.
Well crack is cocaine but does not equal it. Cocaine is the drug used to make crack (cocoaine). A baked (or jacket) potato is still a potato, though can synonymously used with a normal potato.
Chemically the active drug in crack and cocaine are in fact the same thing. Crack cocaine has the coordinating salt removed and is actually more pure in terms of active ingredient.
The differences result in what the drug was purified with and they do have different side effects, but both answers should be accepted.
1981! The famous FC Carl Zeiss Jena made it into the European Cup Winners Cup final. And lost to Dynamo Tblissi. And my wife was born. So, yes...definitely ambiguous...
Well, I know another (atleast one) awesome person that was born then, post-its came to the market, ms-dos came out, And ofcourse: raiders of the lost ark made it's debut!
The first mobile I ever saw, over here in Europe, was definitely larger than that. ~3 bricks large. Some businessman was showing it off and the receipt, too, with the price of over 10,000 of whatever their currency was.
the number doesnt mean anything if he doesnt know the currency, could be 72 bucks, could be 65.438 dollars. So it doesnt give any indication of the prize
3 bricks?? Do you have tiny bricks where you life? Average size are about 22x11x 5,5cm (yes, I spend time looking it up for many countries). The first prototype was 23 by 13 by 4.5 centimetres, after that they only became smaller. So basicly the same size as a brick (in some countries actually smaller like russia or sweden). 3 bricks would (dependingg in which directions you mean, I'll suppose not in length, because a 70 cm long phone is preposterous) so in the range of 22 x 16,5 x 11cm (2 on top of eachother, with one sideways next to it). you would need two hands for that..
you sure you arent confused and saw someone with a ghetto blaster? ;)
Even as late as 1996, they were still cumbersome. My husband had one that fit in a carrying case the approximate size of an old fashioned doctor's bag. (size of the bag, not the shape). Ironically, once the cell phone, which was much more convenient and could be slipped into a pocket, came into being, he resisted getting one with all his might. His sons and I nagged him relentlessly, because he spent weekdays alone in a remote part of the state, and to shut us up, he finally bought one... in 2009. STUBBORN man!
I understand that "inner city" is a polite euphemism for "the poor area where minorities live," but the term doesn't make any sense. Most actual inner cities are well-developed and economically robust. I appreciate the effort to be respectful to the economically distressed, but having worked with a lot of people in that situation, they scoff when we use terms like "inner city" and "urban" as polite terms for the hood, as if the rich parts of the city somehow don't qualify. "Low-income" is a better term because it's accurate without being insulting. Just food for thought.
Its an American idea mixed up with their local government system. If an inner city district is mismanaged the property prices tumble as affluent people go and live in swanky suburbs, as happened in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit, but in a lot of other places poor people are displaced out into the suburbs and the inner city districts are wealthy.
But I'm from New York and I live in Chicago. The city centers are the most affluent parts. In Chicago, the closer you are to the actual inner city, the higher the property values and the fancier the neighborhoods. The poorest areas (and there are some really poor areas) are at the far southern and western corners of the city.
That's what NYC is becoming now. The Working Class is being gentrified out of the city and being forced to move to Upstate NY or out of the state entirely. Retirees especially are leaving the state; I know of at least 150 former New Yorkers who have moved to Florida, North or South Carolina, Georgia and other points south with their families.
There has been considerable gentrification in the decades since the 80s - Inner city suburbs were stereotypically working class areas in most big cities then
Could you accept Peking for Beijing? This was the name that was more commonly used at the time, and is still used in the English name of the city's university.
how come the Diana Spencer question doesn't accept the last name of the person but only the first name? Is there any reason why it should be different to all the other people questions?
Yes, there is -- royal names aren't like yours or mine (assuming you're non-royal, of course). They're referred to entirely and without ambiguity by their name and ordinal number alone; referring to any by just their "surname" actually decreases the specificity.
