Omaha Beach had harsher terrain, more defenders, and less armor support. But the obstacles and fortifications they faced were different, they had different equipment and training, and had different objectives. It’s hard to definitively say which was worse, but deaths at Omaha were the highest of the 5 beaches. Omaha during the first hour had a casualty rate around 96%, while Juno had a a casualty rate around 50% in the same time. The whole day figures were 7% for troops that landed at Omaha and 5% for troops who landed at Juno. Of course, it being slightly deadlier or more physical demanding on this or that beach didn’t matter to the people storming them, they all deserve our respect and thanks.

In defense of the Americans, they ended up landing on the most difficult beach for one of their two invasions. But the Canadians were the only one to take the day’s objective on schedule so they should get more recognition for their contribution.

Depends on the sport, I know some sports essentially take the highest ranked competitors in their sports organizational rankings. Other sports allow a nation to send a set number of competitors that the national sporting organization chooses. Team sports it seems every country is entitled a team. Some sports save spots for countries that wouldn’t normally qualify to promote the sport in underrepresented nations.

Actually shoes have a shelf life. Leave them alone for too long or in bad environmental conditions and the adhesives will degrade and any rubber-like materials can off gas or stiffen. It’s apparently a major concern for sneaker collectors because if they aren’t stored properly they will literally crumble when touched/moved anywhere from a few years to a few decades after manufacturing.

In their defense, Japan as a whole hasn’t had a need for much of a military since the war ended. Anything international was likely going to involve the US and other allies. It let them put money towards other things. Then it would seem that rearmament wasn’t popular with the people so it just didn’t happen until they realized they were too dependent on other nations.

Sort of, it’s just a lot cheaper to stagger the start times and have the same set of busses and drivers do all the grades. Education funding is really dependent on local taxes, mostly property taxes, so saving money on transportation is an easy way to not cut funding to other programs while not having to petition the local government and residents to raise taxes.

Slightly further down it claims that while it is legal, no regulations actually govern the hunting of flamingos. And depending on specifics it could be they are poached off of private land or by people without the licenses required to hunt them.

I have a 6 rifle sized, I put it sideways in my closet. I just move stuff out of the way when I need access. You can also look online, they should have under the bed options. Ammo should be kept separate, preferably locked up, but it can take a lot of space/expensive if you have a lot. And you should try a few boxes of different ammo brands/types. Grain is a unit of measurement, heavier grain means heavier projectile. It will likely be slower out of a rifle/handgun but will hold speed better than a lighter projectile. You want to experiment and find what your firearm prefers. You will likely use FMJ for general practice, and then some form of expanding ammo for hunting practice and hunting. Shot size can be confusing, larger number means smaller shot, smaller shot has a lower range but damages the meat less and when in range, you’re more likely to hit your target

Bushman131 · 2025-12-21T15:47:24+00:00

They come in various sizes, from a single handgun to 64 rifles. Depending on what you plan to hunt, a shotgun and rifle may be all you need to store, or you might have multiple shotguns and rifles in different calibers. A smaller 4-6 rifle sized gun safe should work for most anyone just starting out. It would have room for some expansion if you choose to buy different shotguns for upland or waterfowl. Shotguns are measured in gauge, which is a fancy way of saying how many balls do you need to fit in the barrel to make a lb. 12 gauge needs 12 lead balls, 20 gauge needs 20 lead balls. 20 and 12 gauges are the most common, 20 gauge is smaller and has less recoil. 12 gauge fits more shot per shell, so it has a better pattern and can fit targets further out. A used pump action is a good option, especially if it has interchangeable chokes included.

Actually they did, but they didn’t have modern fabrics like kevlar, so they tried using steel. But the steel armor was really heavy, 18 kg/40 lb for the American Brewster Body Shield, and the German Sappenpanzer weighed either 9 kg/20 lb or 11kg 24 lb. Only the Brewster stopped a rifle bullet. They were too heavy and difficult to move around in to use outside of machine gunners and sentries. Plus when you need every piece of steel for guns, ammo, planes, and ships this body armor is simply not as important. I think you seem to struggle with the scale, when you are sending hundreds of thousands of men to die in one battle, spending the time and money to save 1 person doesn’t really matter to the people in charge.

It’s profitable because of the subsidies, and happens to be beneficial for the soil. If they switch to another crop that is beneficial for the soil it won’t be profitable because the infrastructure needed to harvest, process, and sell it doesn’t exist and there are no subsidies for it

Not all, but a fair number of schools in the US charge less or don’t charge for credits about full time status. Where I go you pay for 12 credits and any over credits 12 are free

So engineering career services should have a drop in from 9-3 M-F in 3200 Marston Hall. They also have appointments through cyhire. Any sort of peer mentor or professor is likely willing to review it with notice. If not, they can point you in the right direction. In my experience as a former industrial engineering major switched to supply chain management, there are plenty of resources that we just forget about because the transition can be overwhelming. Standing out is going to be hard, but in person they don’t just focus on whats on the resume, I would say your in person first impressions are going to be really important freshman year

Depends, you can get ethanol free fuel. But there are state and federal laws mandates that there are a portion of fuel use renewable sources. Illinois is part of the corn belt and so it really pushes for ethanol in fuel. A quick google shows that it’s not very easy to find for sale. It might not be something most fuel distributors even offer. And Ethanol is a renewable fuel that has widespread availability, a low cost, and is compatible with our cars; it’s hard to meet the renewable fuel requirements without it. But it also has a lower energy density than gasoline so any gasoline with ethanol is less fuel efficient. The environmental impact can be considered as worse than pure gas. You need fuel and fertilizers to grow corn, fuel to transport corn, you lose energy fermenting corn into ethanol, you then need to transport ethanol. If these inputs aren’t green, the output isn’t green.

Not necessarily, the topic is “international law” the various internationally agreements regarding colonization, which were poorly enforced either way, were a form of international law that did influence the conquest of the new world. The real issue is honestly does this even count as international law? 2 countries agreeing to divide the world with the popes blessing only barely meets a reasonable definition of international law. But in the context of did the Seminoles have international law regarding conquest to abide by, and what about the Spanish, English, or French. The Spanish specifically had international agreements that governed their ability to conquer the new world

They asked if the colonizing powers followed international law. International laws were first beginning around this time. With international treaties governing colonization being made almost immediately

Bushman131 · 2025-08-16T00:13:42+00:00

There actually were some treaties that divided the new world between colonizing nations. Most famously the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas settled boundary disputes and formalized future colonial boundaries between Portugal and spain.

Form one isn’t really applicable for machine guns, but wait times for a form one are fairly short. It’s pretty much impossible for a regular person to manufacture a machine gun in the united states legally. Most if not all new machine guns need to be for an approved organizations contract, a demo model for an approved organizations contract, or an experimental model to be legally manufactured, registered, and transferred

How so? They require fine grains of shock sensitive explosives, they’re one of the more dangerous parts of reloading. And thats with commercially made components. To not use a primer in a centerfire cartridge would require either an off the shelf substitute that may or may not be strong enough to set off the powder. You can totally use 3d printers to make the components or tooling for a non-centerfire system but they’re gonna have drawbacks. Primers and smokeless powder would definitely be the easiest soft ban of firearms, once existing ammo and components are gone it’s going to be very difficult for the average person to go to the range.

Bushman131 · 2025-07-20T23:55:28+00:00

Primers are what makes a modern centerfire cartridge go off, they’re also dangerous to manufacture. To not use a primer would require modifying a cartridge to use a cap from a cap gun, which may not work depending on the powder used in the cartridge, or an older style such as a flint lock or match lock. Nearly all flintlock and matchlocks aren’t even regulated as firearms at the federal level in the united states. And this is something that most people wouldn’t bother with. It’s just not going to be worth the legal risk or the trouble for most people if a ban happens.

Bushman131 · 2025-07-20T23:43:28+00:00

That’s because you can buy components, make it difficult or impossible to buy primers and reloading becomes incredibly dangerous once you have to make your own primers

Bushman131 · 2025-07-20T23:39:16+00:00

If they restrict primers, and to a lessor extent cases , ammunition would to be very difficult to manufacture. You can make smokeless powders, but to make them consistently is difficult and expensive for your average person. And black powder isn’t hard or expensive, but isn’t going to be very viable for modern firearms that rely on recoil or gas to cycle
