If a member of ones family had a heart attack, would the above source help in saving their life if a hospital was inaccessible? This would depend on the authenticity and authorship of the source.

If you have no patients for waiting on a game to load, then Nintendo 64 is the ....

Internet impairs the expression of ideas and infringes against the First
Amendment of the Constitution.
First of all, censoring the Internet as a whole is not possible, so

today making policing the Internet a virtually futile task. Unlike
television or radio, the Internet consists of thousands of individual
computers and networks, with thousands of speakers, information providers

Only after experimentation did the inventors conclude that more propulsive power could be obtained by merely straightening out the surface of the airscrew blades. Attempts to utilize the “straight blade” propeller were made by balloonists. These contraptions were quite strange and hardly fulfilled their purpose of actually propelling the balloon. The basic propeller had evolved from the simple concepts of da Vinci, and was slowly becoming an effective means of aerial propulsion. To reach the next plateau of flight an increased knowledg ....

However, as advances were made in tools and discoveries were made in cultivation, these cultures became more stationary and more time was diverted from the pursuit of nutrition to the development of civilization.
