The Nile Delta is the delta formed in Lower Egypt where the Nile River spreads out and drains into the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the world's largest river deltas—from Alexandria in the west to Port Said in the east, it covers 240 km (150 mi) of Mediterranean coastline and is a rich agricultural region. From north to south the delta is approximately 160 km (99 mi) in length. The Delta begins downriver from Cairo.
The delta is sometimes divided into sections, with the Nile dividing into two main distributaries, the Damietta and the Rosetta, flowing into the Mediterranean at port cities with the same name. In the past, the delta had several distributaries, but these have been lost due to flood control, silting and changing relief.
The Suez Canal is east of the delta and enters the coastal Lake Manzala in the north-east of the delta. To the north-west are three other coastal lakes or lagoons: Lake Burullus, Lake Idku and Lake Mariout.
In modern day, the outer edges of the delta are eroding, and some coastal lagoons have seen increasing salinity levels as their connection to the Mediterranean Sea increases. Since the delta no longer receives an annual supply of nutrients and sediments from upstream due to the construction of the Aswan Dam, the soils of the floodplains have become poorer, and large amounts of fertilizers are now used. Topsoil in the delta can be as much as 21 m (70 ft) in depth.

Also you were first
The Nile River Delta is super neat and also super dense. It is the giver of life for the region, and the vast majority of Egyptians live there.
you know what's something that nobody talks about? how COVID fucked up things for people who live in other people's houses and sneak around at night while they're sleeping or while they're at work. at the beginning, my guy was stuck in the attic for two weeks.
:bloomer: me to myself: you should treat yourself with a nice beautiful breakfast
:pathetic: also me to myself: here's a old cucumber and like 5 saltines
"The highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic, 38C (100F), has been officially confirmed, sounding "alarm bells" over Earth's changing climate."
38C in the arctic. very good, very normal. bodes well for all of us
I feel like Amazon could make all the negative press about the collapsed warehouse go away by throwing a large pile of money at the survivors and the family of the deceased, but just as an extra flex, they won't even do that, because they don't have to.
Look I have no fucking idea what cracker means in the US lol, first I thought it was a term used to talk shit about black people (but I know Hasan wouldn't do that), then the crackers came to mind (the ones you eat). I know he got some heat from some cringe white dudes because he kept saying gusano to a bunch of.. cuban gusanos lol but that's it.
Is it some kind of slur? because for example I know the word "gringo" is considered a slur against americans but i don't give a shit because :amerikkka:
It's an epithet for white people and it's funny as shit lol.
Yeah it means whitey. I heard the origin is whip-cracker but I'm not sure if that part is true
Comes from corn-cracker or something similar.
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/corn-cracker
Its origins are a bit older than that but I do enjoy that theory
It’s a way to make fun of white people. Like “honky”, “bleach demon”, or “snow possum”.
Extra crazy considering he's one of their biggest earners. If he were a nazi there's zero chance they'd do this.
It's hilarious no matter what Bethesda game I decide to mod the first 10-20 mods are literally just bug-fixes, utilities and tweaks to make the game not burn to the ground when you start it up.
Eagerly waiting for those Starfield mods. :meow-floppy:
flesh is gross why aren't we made of something cool like amethyst crystals?
Get you one of them forklift certified enbies
