And, apparently, it even has roots going from before Heine, with the first actual example being made 40 years before Heine, with the original idea coming in 1782.

Yeegads!

We'd have delivered at home, no matter the risks, lol. The women in my family are not trees to be chopped down, or containers to extract precious cargo from.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Is the woman expected to survive?
Not that the visage of a chain saw could ever call to mind the word “precision”, but a hand cranked chain saw would seem to provide much room for taking the meaning of the word “sloppy” to a new level. To apply it her pelvic bone might suggest the woman is not long for this world.

Apparently, it was successful enough for its time to stay in common practice until the 1890s. Then again, this is successful by the standards of the 19th Century, and as a fan of The Knick, which is set in 1901, that era's practically the Dark Ages. And given that much of the time the Chainsaw was used in medicine, people didn't accept germ theory, assume that the bar for "successful" then is likely piss-poor by modern standards.
Case in point: in 1900, the life expectancy of an American was 47 years. And that was on the high end because the global average was around 30. Now? The country with the lowest life expectancy today is the Central African Republic, with an average of 53.68 years.

A few news items from Nick Crowley's latest video:
1) If you're on the run from the law, don't confess your crimes in a freestyle rap. Unless, of course, you're working with the cartels. And even then, they can probably get you a better venue than a random open mic night.
2) Between this sinkhole of a swimming pool and the Versailles Wedding Hall Disaster, never trust Israeli architects.
3) Never get in a pool that you just dumped dry ice into. Plus, the fact that the dry ice is at a maximum temperature of 194.7 Kelvin and thus really fucking painful to touch is the least of your problems somehow.
4) People in some Asian countries remove their shoes before killing themselves so they don't track dirt into the afterlife. And blood apparently isn't a problem somehow, despite it being harder to clean.
5) Pyrotechnics and twigs on the ceiling don't mix. Probably did not need to learn that because I'd have thought this was common sense.

Trump let 3 spy balloons cross United States airspace during his presidency.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Probably on a pay-per-view agreement.

apparently the actress Jennifer Lawrence is so concerned about her own forgetfulness about drinking water that she had “H2O” tattooed on the back of her hand
