Therefore, there were 5280 feet, and 1760 yards in 1 English mile.

Many maps use land surveyors' measures of distance in their scales. These are as follows:

Measure Equivalent
100 links (4 poles, 22 yards or 66 feet) 1 chain
10 chains 1 furlong
80 chains 1 mile
3 barleycorns 1 inch (in or ")
12 inches 1 foot (ft or ')
3 feet 1 yard (yd)
5½ yards 1 perch, pole or rod
40 poles 1 furlong
8 furlongs 1 mile
3 miles 1 league

The right has gone utterly batguano about her - it's wonderful free advertising for the future.
If only it worked like that. She'll need the publicity then, not now (it will give them time to whittle her down like they did Elizabeth Warren).

It's explicable.
She's the hottest stand up comic in DC.
That's wonderfully dismissive and utterly typical of the put-downs. We're at stage 2 right now with a foot in stage 3.

First they ignore you.
Then they ridicule you.
And then they attack you and want to burn you.
And then they build monuments to you.

The left has a wonderful sense of humor when insulting Trump.
But it disappears when one of their own is mockworthy.

Clearly we have effected the global climate, but short of the global nuclear holocaust the Cold War never produced I'm not sure if we can end all life on Earth. And even then, life is incredibly resilient and I would not be surprised if it carries on in some form.

I'm sure it does. The Earth has survived some truly catastrophic events in the past including wholesale extinctions of vast numbers of species.
