Sorry but I have been following Dan for years here and there and I’m not checking his pinned post every day. AFAIK it was still about toxic last time I checked.

It’s not just about putting water in your eyes but also preventing making the situation worse by not cleaning your hand or not removing your contact lenses etc…

Yeah I know but since Dan did not post what to actually use I posted what you are supposed to use to rince your eyes.

Yes I know,I just pointed out what the ophtalmologist recommendations were like using a lot of saline water to rince the eyes and not put any weird stuff in the eyes as some recommend.

The Messy Outcomes of the Bari Raid and its Implications for the Allied Supply Chain in Italy 2 December 1943

The Bari Raid of Dec 43 is one of those laughably frequently written-about 'secret', 'never before told' incidents and is the topic of my blog this week. I mention the chemical weapons, but focus more on the supply chain and logistical implications in my article. open.substack.com/pub/matteato...

#OTD Oct 17, 1729 - The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal opened for maritime traffic. The C&D Canal is a 14-mile-long, sea-level waterway that connects the Chesapeake Bay with the Delaware River. (1/3)🧵

Be it smoke or CS every grenade vaporizing a compound are not safe to handle given the temperature of the ignition mixture. Those are burning at 600C or higher, and the enveloppe could reach easily 200/300C. So yeah Dan is absolutly right as usual, don't touch those even with gloves.

It could also serve as a switch for the ignition, closing the circuit so that pressing the button would actually start the car.

At a minimum you can’t turn the wheel…

The key was used to lock the column not for ignition at that time.

Ignition by just pressing a button is the most likely for a recent model.

Enfin la première guerre civile hein on a pas encore trop de retours sur le slang de la deuxième…

Oui je sais mais pour certains termes qui sont employés même en dehors du pays d’origine genre FUBAR je sais pas. Sinon l’autre bouquin pas mal c’est War Slang de Dickson. L’interêt c’est que ça couvre plusieurs période et notamment la guerre civile.

Pour le coup je traduirais même pas je mettrais un renvois en bas de page avec une explication car y a pas vraiment d’équivalent.

Celui là c’est l’osprey milslang je sais que j’ai un autre truc plus orienté nam faut que je remette la main dessus.

Ça donne ce genre de chose.

Le meilleur que je connaisse c’est celui ci. C’est vieux mais c’est très bon.

Ouai tu m’étonnes c’est pas le plus simple, y a un très gros travail d’appropriation 👍. T’as déjà donné dans la marine à voile ? C’est digne de l’immortal set…

Ok il vaut mieux. Fugazzi, fragging and co c’est pas généralement ce que tu trouves dans les dicos usuel. Il me semble que c’est osprey qui avait sorti un petit dico du military slang bien utile. Je te filerai la réf je l’ai quelque part dans mon bordel. Si t’as besoin hésites pas amigo.

Si t’as besoin d’aide pour les termes techniques ou le nam’slang…
