>>61641952>Now we know that the germans were pretty chillNo. They were not "chill".>The Germans seized 80% of the 1915 wheat crop, and 75% of the potato crop. They also took the majority of the eggs and the cattle. At the end of 1918, the herd in the territories was reduced to a quarter of that before the war.>The shortage of food began shortly after the arrival of the occupying army.>The birth rate, meanwhile, collapsed. The number of births in Lille dropped from 4885 in 1913 to 2154 in 1915, 602 in 1917, and 609 in 1918. Thus the demographic deficit, the excess of deaths over births, amounted to 14317 from October 1914 to February 1917. In 1918, 80% of adolescents were below normal weight.>Congar wrote on November 4, 1914, that "we don't have half a gram of bread left to eat.">The prefects, the returnees, the general opinion, consider that "without American aid the population would have starved to death.">An administration called the Schutzverwaltung, created at the start of the occupation, requisitioned supplies, leading to the cessation of industrial activity. This material was then systematically transferred to Germany.>From the end of 1916, the equipment that remained in place and the buildings were systematically destroyed to suppress competition from French industry after the war.>The inhabitants were subjected to forced labor imposed not only on men but also on women and children from the age of 9. they were subjected to exhausting work and suffered from malnourishment.>According to the 1923 censuses of the Ministry of Liberated Regions, out of all the municipalities in the affected areas (including in addition to the occupied areas, that of the front), 620 were completely destroyed; 1,334 destroyed more than 50%; 2,349 partially damaged; 423 remained intact; 293,043 buildings were completely destroyed and 148,948 severely damaged.This ignores the policy of terror bombing towns behind the French front line to bait the French into attacking.
>>61642255>>61641820This "lions led by donkeys" bullshit needs to end. The most dangerous job in the BEF was being a battalion commander.>During the course of the war, 78 British and Dominion officers of the rank of brigadier-general and above were killed or died during active service, while another 146 were wounded, gassed, or captured.And no, they were not "out of touch". The Germans leadership knew the war could not be won in the long run and thought their only hope was to prolong the suffering to secure good terms (sound familiar?)The Entente’s leadership was actually surprised the Germans collapsed earlier than they had forecasted. Foch wanted to pause operations after the defeat of Operation Michael, but Haig convinced him to keep pushing. End result was the 100 Day Offensive and total victory a year ahead of schedule.

What's the suicide rate on casualty collection units/personnel?
>>61649387>casualty collectionI think it's probably low, although it's grim, you'd feel pretty good about yourself collecting casualties and getting them home to be honoured.So long as you can feel like you're helping and doing a good thing, I think you can weather some emotional circumstances.That woman needs a better bra though, I suppose it was the 70s, good sports bras weren't a thing.

i've seen conflicting reports online about it containing either asbestos or activated charcoal. seller said it contained activated charcoal and some german lab said it didn't have asbestos but its a 40 year old soviet mask and i dont want to get lung cancer at the age of 55.
>>61648892Are you fucking stupid?
>>61648892Get another filter, retard. If the labs said there is none, the seller was probably telling the truth. You can also get it tested at a different lab and see what their results are.
Ok, gas mask 101:If the filter isn't P3, it has activated charcoal and paper filter. The paper filter has the asbestos, if the filter has it. Soviet ones by rule all have asbestos. Western ones from 60's onwards (with exeptions) don't have it. P3 filter is one that has only the paper filter, no activated charcoal. By rule, don't use old filters, don't prep with them and only in a situation where you don't have absolutely anything else better, then only use it. And even then it might not save you. If you have any doubts, don't breath through it. Suffocating later in life is a bad way to go.
>>61648892The popular sentiment in the west is yes, but actual Russians who've seen Soviet technical documentation say the asbestos used in soviet filters is contained in some "safe" form that even when inhaled doesn't cause any harm. That is if you can even inhale it.
>>61649981What about leaking chromium in M17 filters?
"We fought insurgents who injected AIDS and hepatitis C into their blood steam in an attempt to kill us if their bullets couldn’t, and saw death and violence on epic scales. We developed crude weapons out of what we had, such as water bottles refilled with gasoline, gelled, and tied by a flex cuff to a flash bang. When the pin was pulled and the bottle released, it made for a nasty surprise to those occupying bunkered rooms and fighting positions. As simple as this device was, it saved countless American lives."https://sofmag.com/operation-phantom-fury-al-fajr-i-fought-in-the-fiercest-urban-combat-the-us-had-fought-since-the-battle-of-hue-vietnam-in-1968-by-jonathan-cuney/Jesus Christ Fallujah was fucked
>>61649112>>61648937I will add, Darwinism included each and every hypothesis and theory Darwin included in his framework, even things that were disproven such as pangenisis. Ergo, no, Darwinism, the specific evolutionary framework, is not the prevailing theory anymore, and hasn't been for a long time. You can be a faggot and try calling modern evolutionary synthesis theory Darwinism. I understand your mistake here, and I won't call you a faggot nigger for it because it seems to be a genuine misunderstanding and not just you being a dumb faggot like the other retard.
>>61648504The worst part is that I would have a lot more respect for them if they just said "Yeah man, we were worried about WW3, thankfully it didn't happen, Germany was cool and fucking German girls was awesome. The military sucked and the field sucked", because even though I wasn't a peacetime grunt, I can relate to the field sucking ass, and local women being fun to cum on.But lol, no, they were all COLD WARRIORS!
>>61648570Good lol
>>61649112Explain modern evolutionary synthesis theory if you’re so smartIf it’s just natural selection + “mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift” then it’s hardly very different from Darwin’s original framework>Darwinism included each and every hypothesis and theory Darwin included That’s not what people mean by Darwinism, it refers to natural selection
>>61637123You are a turbo retard>>61650570>If it’s just natural selection + “mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift”It isn't. And lol, yeah anon, let me just casually explain Malthusian competition, natural selection, variation, genetic variation, mutation and the intersection thereof with genetic varaiation, Mendelian inheritance and the intersection thereof with the aforementioned, ontogenetics and parallel phylogenies (without Googling, what does this mean anon?) where this deviates from actual Darwinism (primarily in Darwin's complete lack of understanding of genetics) (Darwinism is also a creationist cuck term used to disparage actual science, but who cares) and how that all comes together for modern synthesis of evolution for you in a 4channel comment, and then play back and forth games until the thread dies because you don't like abiogenesis.>it’s hardly very different from Darwin’s original frameworkSo it is or it isn't Darwin's original framework? (What is pangenisis? Why do we not believe in this anymore? Was pangenisis part of his framework or not?)

>>61649440It's at absolute zero you fucking retard. Sisi and the military class are just putting on a show for the masses. They don't give two fucks about Gaza, and they'd probably be relieved if the IDF just bulldozed the whole place.Besides, everyone knows the Egyptian army is just for internal control and the occasional bullying of its weaker neighbors now.

If effective energy weapons and powered exoskeletons are ever invented, they will be made illegal for civilians instantly.
Except the issue is almost completely in power consumption and heat dissipation, we already have the tech to make plasma balls, microwave guns and laser beams.
>>61646808Even of they weren't, do you expect such tech to come cheap? Do you really think the day we get batteries with a power density good enough to make man portable lasers a thing they'll just start appearing in every wally world and on amazon? Nah that shit is going to be the next jet engine, only for a small cartel of mfgs and their approved clients with maybe a handful trickling out into the private ecosystem
>>61646808>If effective energy weapons and powered exoskeletons are ever invented, they will be made illegal for civilians instantly.>energy weaponsWould be protected by the 2nd Amendment same as anything else. There is no "laser exception", nor history & tradition. Though due to certain kinds of them having enormously increased safety risks to the general public there might be neutral regulations around things like sideband leakage which would increase costs (and even if not manufacturers would get rightly sued into oblivion for a laser gun that blinded everyone around in normal usage).In fact right now it'd be the literal opposite of your shitty doom: "firearms" legally under the NFA use chemical explosions for propulsion. Energy weapons (either direct or propelled) are completely unregulated at the federal level by the ATF (as are air rifles and such, which is why you can have an integral suppressor on an air rifle no stamp or anything).>exoskeletonsArmor is not protected so yeah, that could be regulated. Though exoskeletons have ENORMOUS good potential for seniors, construction, and general work, so more likely is they're just regulated not illegal.In short: OP is a faggot 100% of the time.
>>61647074You're a retard. Harnessing that power requires systems that weigh more than your stupid v4. It doesn't work.
>>61646828>energy:weight to make a powered exoskeleten feasibleThis is completely wrong, though it's a popular meme. First, you're confusing "exoskeleton" with POWER ARMOR. An exoskeleton doesn't necessarily need any power at all, and extremely minimal power could be used just for some balance aid. The point of that (and it is under active research) isn't to give someone super human movement but to better deal with static loads, and given how the brass loves to make people ruck 80-100 lbs of total joint destroying bullshit that'd be incredibly handy. Purely in terms of kinetic energy humans have no problems hauling that kind of weight, like if you put it in a wheelbarrow or cart and roll around. The problem is the stress it places on our musculoskeletal system, like, just standing around. An exoskeleton that merely coupled the mass to the ground would be very handy even with zero power.As far as more ambitious designs, fuel cells and turbines can do plenty of power density already. Pure electric batteries nah, but we don't need that, hydrocarbons are fine. There is no more issue powering an exosuit then there is any other mechanical vehicle. The issues then are more1: sufficiently compact/powerful/durable/lightweight synthetic musculature or equivalent, or other approaches that will actually give 2: what's the point, why a suit and not a vehicle?
Going to be built in Poland
>>61645832As far as i understand the production will be spread over multiple factories as every company wants a piece of this pie. So WZM, Bumar, HSW, Cegielski etc will be all involved in production. So many actors involved will prolong the negotiations, but should quicken the production. In theory.
>>61646487I've believed for a while now that the gypsy problem notwithstanding Romania has the potential to become another Poland: a former Eastern Bloc country with a surprisingly strong and fast-growing economy with living standards similar to Western Europe.

>>61647829Holy shit, you're retarded.That's not how that works, the Kurs system used by soyuz to dock to the ISS is an active radar homing system.
