Lee Harvey Oswald is probably the most well-known killers of heads of state, but there are a number of other candidates and would-be's. One of these who definitely deserves an A for effort, if not execution, was Giuseppe Marco Fieschi who, in 1835, attempted to assassinate Louise Phillipe I of France by gunshot. However, what makes this attempt notable is the instrument used. Probably due to uncertainty to the accuracy of a single sniper with regards to the contemporary guns available (I would guess), Fieschi (and fellow conspirators) decided to make a homemade gun - one that would make Tetsuya Yamagami say 'Jesus Christ, what the gently caress, dude'. For you see, he decided on making a volley gun that could fire off twenty five barrels in one go, later dubbed the 'infernal machine'. So, the gun was set up to be used while the King was passing by on review, then let rip with barrage of up to 400 rounds in mere moments. Eighteen people died from the fusillade, with a further twenty plus severely injured... While the King himself suffered a minor graze. Samovar has a new favorite as of 15:33 on Feb 12, 2024 |

Zudgemud posted:The real reason for it is that they would stop being dark skinned if they stuck around for long enough and stopped relying on organ meat in their diet. Because all the non white kids would die. But the latitude where it becomes really detrimental to have dark skin in terms of vitamin D deficiency is somewhere in the middle of Scandinavia if I recall correctly. However, dark skinned people are still able to survive there if they move further south during the dark winter months. And considering that they were evidently highly mobile from the archeological remains found, it makes sense for them to have lived there too. Do you think that Norwegians with dark skin migrates to the south in the winter like loving birds?

Nessus posted:I think the theory overlooks the prospect of dietary sources of vitamin D, which are certainly trivial now (I think they put it in milk?) and could well have been accomplished inadvertently in the past. I think the sources include cheese, eggs and fatty fish. These might have been much less reliable in prehistoric times, tho. The entirety of pre 1930s history might want a word with you. Also if you have darker than pale rear end skin in the northern latitudes you should deffo be supplementing with vit d. In fact probably everyone who doesn't work outside anymore probably should.

You also have to be in sunlight near noon, specifically. Going on a topless walk in the evening gets you very little vitamin D, because the UV rays that are necessary for its formation are very strongly attenuated when the sun is low in the sky. Within thirty degrees of the horizon, it’s a fraction of a percent.

Dark skinned people turn white in European latitudes is also a not-quite-lamarckian understanding. White Europeans is one of the battle fields of "how the gently caress does differentiation happen anyway." Harrison Bergeron is not necessarily out there hulking out of his chains and stealing the women. In the competition between traumatic bottlenecks and extremely long time scales being better for mutants out competing, there's evidence we became white during a traumatic bottleneck of a population stuck in northern latitudes. Rickets may otherwise be survivable with a large enough support system not unlike the rest of history till 1950.

Alhazred posted:Do you think that Norwegians with dark skin migrates to the south in the winter like loving birds? I mean, if you, in prehistoric Scandinavia, especially as a child, do not eat vitamin D and are too dark skinned you will die at most Norwegian latitudes due to rickets. If you however eat vitamin D (fat fish and organ meat are good for this) you will survive, if you don't eat that you will also survive if you migrate south to like Scania, Denmark or northern Germany during the darkest parts of the year. There's a very good reason as to why we put supplementary vitamin D in basically all diary products and many cooking fats etc. in Scandinavia.

Governor-General Oskar Potiorek vetoed this suggestion[82] on the grounds that soldiers coming straight from maneuvers would not have the dress uniforms appropriate for such duties. "Do you think that Sarajevo is full of assassins?" he concluded.[82]

Platystemon posted:You also have to be in sunlight near noon, specifically. It's worse than that. Where I live (~ 40 degrees North), you're not going to make Vitamin D for six months out of the year. And then (as you say) only for limited intervals near solar noon. If your shadow is as long as you are tall -- forget it. No D for yea.

Looking at modern rates of vitamin D deficiency, while darker scandinavians are present, the most overepresented categories are computer touchers and nerds.

Not really a fun fact but I learned last night that women gained the right to vote at a federal level in Switzerland in 1971, with the last holdout on a canton-level until 1991. Reminds me of the fact that the ADA was signed into law in 1990. Or the whole bonkers state-level recognition of MLK Day going into the 2000s.

It also was the canton with the strongest support (71%) for the minaret ban in the 2009 Swiss minaret referendum and the lowest support (51%) in the 2021 Swiss same-sex marriage referendum. wikipedia posted:Somewhat before the early 2000s, the idyllic countryside of Appenzell Innerrhoden apparently became popular with nudists, and at the 2009 Landsgemeinde the canton's residents voted to prohibit naked hiking. Violators would be fined. However nudists who appealed against their fines to the federal court have been reimbursed by the local authorities, as nudism is not a crime under Swiss federal law which takes precedence. 81 percent Roman Catholic population? You don’t say.

As a simple European Christianity map you can imagine middle Germany and most countries clearly north of that as protestant, and south of that as Catholic, with Orthodox Christianity in the eastern parts starting at the Balkans and going north towards Russia. Germany is historically the place for Protestant/Catholic bordergore, Switzerland not so much.
