Let's all take a moment to appreciate the fact that those drunk party goers sneakily crossed a river and founded a whole town where they thought would be beyond the reach of American prohibition authorities on the one tiny spot that is in fact still within American borders and the cops never realised it either.

@@cecy2 Why are there so many gringos in Costa Rica or kanos in the Philippines? They're decent retirement spots with lower costs of living, and the same is true for Mexico. Plus, the U.S. and Mexico are right next door to each other so it makes sense a fair number who aren't retirees would cross the border. But a lot more Mexicans have come to the U.S. than vice versa, and that's an economic fact of life.

The Rio Grande river changing course, and therefore the border, is more common than a lot of people realize. Right here in El Paso, TX we had a treaty to swap three bits of land in 1963 know as the Chamizal Dispute due to the river changing course in the early 1900s (the despite started around 1911). Now there are parks on either side of the border, two museums, and an international bridge between the two. Officially speaking though, there are still little bits of El Paso and bits of Juárez which are on the opposite bank of the river; none nearly as big as Chamizal though.

I lived in a town long ago that had as boundaries between various plots of private property, a brook. The brooks changed course multiple times over 250 years so the various properties kept changing as well. One property went from 1/2 acre to 11 acres due to this but it occurred very gradually for the most part. The quickest change was due to a flood that happened about 45 years ago and the brook cut a new path bypassing a 2 acre loop which eliminated two properties entirely giving them to a developer. That caused law suits that went on for almost 20 years. It was finally resolved and the two home owners got to keep their homes after all and the developer lost out and the town finally changed it's ordinances to exclude any future change in the course of any body of water.

you've clearly never tried that position. it's actually fairly comfortable long-term. the key is to have your elbows, which are supporting most of your weight here, sit on a soft surface, like a bed or mattress. The back being sore thing I can't relate to; mine gets sore from the opposite position, that is, looking down and forward. Looking up and backward like this which isn't possible while standing (lest you fall down into your back) is extremely confortable and actually relieves some of the soreness of a full day being upright, sitting and/or laying dwn.

There is a present ghost town called Olive City that was once in Arizona. It was founded as a ferry crossing on the Colorado River, but was abandoned in the late 1860’s. Due to the river changing course, the site of the town is now in California.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which is what defined the border between the US and Mexico, called for things to start five nautical miles south of the San Diego Bay. As that body of water was constituted in 1848, the border should have begun about where Imperial Beach Boulevard is today. Instead, the binational border commission set the first monument about five kilometers south (GVMG+QV Tijuana, Baja California). Local folklore holds that this was because the Mexican half of the commission came late to the meeting and the gringos had stolen a march on them. Far more likely, however, is that these intrepid surveyors found themselves waist-deep in the Tijuana Slough and felt it prudent to set their marker on firmer land to the south. In either case, the southernmost five kilometers of California should properly belong to Mexico.

So far, the only assessment is can give of the “free” nebula subscription thats supposed to come with CuriosityStream is it doesn’t exist. Go to the link, sign up to CuriosityStream, go to Nebula, you’re presented with a page that says sign up to get a free trial then $50 for the rest of the subscription. It’s not about the money, its about the difference between what they say and what happens. If they don’t want people to have a free subscription to Nebula, stop trying to entice people to sign up to curiosity stream to get one.

Fun fact: there is significant illegal migration from Mexico to the United States.......and from the United States to Mexico. only that in the first case, the migrants are young people who want to work in the United States and in the second case, they are white Americans retirees who want to live better with their pension, because in an important Mexican city, the rent of a large house, furnished, in an elegant neighborhood, with private security personnel and surveillance cameras on every street, green and recreational areas, etc. costs around 1500 dollars a month and a hearty dinner in an elegant restaurant costs about 80 dollars, also as American retirees pay in dollars, obviously people treat them very well. In Mexico there are about 2 million American pensioners
