Watching this week's new episode: land mines. The Chinese invented the first self exploding land mines after discovering gunpowder and deployed them for the first time in the war in Inner Mongolia in 1215. A 12 lb ceramic vase filled with gunpowder and a self activating fuse. During the battle of El Alamein, both sides, British and German, buried a total of 17 million mines along the Libya Egypt border and many of those mines are still there. There are still 100 million land mines buried all over the world including places like The Falkland islands. Every 20-30 minutes, someone somewhere in the world is a victim of a land mine

Watching: https://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/race-to-victory/wwii-europe/1006491/3482629The last 100 days of the War in Europe were the bloodiest and most violent of the entire war with the Allies on the West advancing East toward Germany and the Russians on the East advancing West toward Germany. The Russians had over 2 million men moving rapidly toward Germany and its capital of Berlin and they were not stopping and they were not taking any prisoners.

If I recall correctly, the Soviets had about 500,000 casualties during the storming of Berlin.

Children of Dune, one of the best SciFi spin off ever. Have the Dvd set. Children of Dune was very well made and it was a huge improvement over the Dune miniseries. It's also interesting getting to see James McAvoy before he became an A-lister in Hollywood.

VPN's rock Nord VPN here, Not free but works great and they give you lots of tips for use. Had it about 6 months.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

It's just another unwanted step one has to go through to watch content that some company has deemed that you are unfit to watch.
