The recipe of the Truffade.
It is a sort of thick pancake made with thinly sliced potatoes that are slowly cooked in goose or duck fat until tender, then mixed with thin strips of Tomme Cheese from Cantal. This mix is stirred until it sticks together in a sort of thick pastry, sometimes decorated with fresh parsley.

The End of Oil â€" documentary

Oil is a finite resource and, as such, the day will come when it is all gone. I believe that not even the youngest members of our forum will be alive to see the day that happens. Slowly but surely the world is going carbon neutral. Even GM has pledged that their vehicles will be fully electric by 2035. Even if they don't meet that deadline, it WILL happen sooner or later.

The greek mythology: The Trojan War Finally Explained

It's hard to believe Homer came up with this idea of the Trojan horse and, even worse, that some people actually believe it. From logistics to engineering such a thing is impossible. For starters, a horse full of soldiers needs some sort of ventilation system. Since there were no electric fans at the time, you'd have to open slits for air to circulate. This would immediately give away the soldier's presence. Secondly: where's the bathroom? Are the soldiers going be locked up for 12 hours or more without peeing or shiiting? Thirdly: If all these guys got off the horse, wouldn't they be surrounded by Trojan soldiers? Fourthly: If they had to open the gates real wide to allow the horse in, why do you need soldiers inside the horse? With the open gates the Greek army could walk right in. And finally: honestly, are the Trojans really so stupid that nobody would suspect something's not right? This story goes beyond fiction.

Another thing I find irritating: The religions practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans is referred to as "mythology" whereas those practiced today are not. Today's religions are mythology every bit as much as those of ancient peoples. Of the millions of gods man has created, not one has appeared in person to claim he's for real.

According to a Wiki article, that distinction belongs to Tokyo which comes in at just over 40 million. Jakarta weighs in at about 34 million. Too lazy to post the link, I know you believe me  :).

It must be hellish to live in that tropical heat with people packed like sardines. At least Tokyo is cooler and is much more modern.

In order to get such results, they are using the notion of urban areas with a broad interpretation. In Jakarta alone there are 9 million Indonesians, which is already considerable. The climate is probably not as unbearable as you say since it's pretty much the same temperature throughout the year and it's never cold in Jakarta. According to this site https://planificateur.a-contresens.net/asie/indonesie/daerah_khusus_ibukota_jakarta/jakarta/1642911.html, The record temperature was 42°C on 14 February 1982 and the record cold was 11°C on 25 february 1974.  You see, it's 6 am here and it's cold outside (only 6°c) and yet there can be high temperatures during summer.
The urban area Jabodetabek, which is spanning over 8000 km² has a population of 28 million. And to reach 36 million, Bandung is probably included, as well as the west coast of the island of Java.
And if you are making a triangle in Texas, with 3 points: San Antonio, Dallas and Houston, you have an agglomeration of 20 million inhabitants too (it would be a pretty vast area though).
As for the Kanto region is very populated indeed. But the Nile Delta is only slightly less populated knowing that the Delta begins slightly down-river from Cairo (so Cairo is not included). Therefore, the most populated region in the world is the Nile Delta if you include the town of Cairo.

It's always the same. You can count numbers and intepret the data in many ways. I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_cities_by_population_within_city_limits for the numbers.

You've never lived in the tropics? Sadly I have, and often in places at sea level much closer to the equator than Miami. I can't stand the constant and unrelenting heat and humidity, not to mention the incredible number of insects. The weather only changes when it rains. With respect to those temps you mentioned, just about everywhere you'll see weather anomalies. The thing is that they're extremely unusual and infrequent. The freeze we had here in Texas last February will not be seen again for probably another 50 years, if not more.

To even remotely consider these 3 some sort of same city is impossible. It takes 4-5 hours to drive from one to the other, and I mean on an interstate highway at 120km. Add to this that during the trip you'll see places that are virtually uninhabited. A better example would be the northeast USA. From Washington to Boston is essentially one big city.
