Netflix

I just wanted to add my opinion on the Netflix situation. I am subscribed to the unlimited streaming option, which is pretty sweet. I have thought about doing the DVD service, but not its pretty expensive. Since they had to make a price increase.

I guess what makes me the most angry, is that some series have like the first, third, and fourth movie on streaming. But the second one somehow is impossible to upload. I can't start a series and watch it out of order, its impossible.

And also can they add seasons faster, I powered through sons of anarchy seasons 1 and 2, and 4 is on tv, but 3 is only a DVD option, its killing me right now.

The Mini Ball

The Lead Mini Ball
Basically the Mini Ball was smaller and could be dropped down into the barrel. When the gun was fired, gases expanded the base of the ball, allowing it to travel down the grooves of the gun. This allowed the gun to fire more accurately, and be reloaded more quicly.
This allowed soldiers in the civil war to kill eachother a lot more efficiently. Which is both a good and a bad thing. This is just one more invention by man to make kililng eachother easier.

The first tank prototype little willie rolled off the line in England. This firt tank had many problems with mobility, but improvements to the model lead to its evovled form in that of Big Willie.



By 1916, the first line of tanks were ready to be used on the battlefield, ushering in a new era of combat. Stopping the tactic of throwing men at the enemy in hopes that they would run out of bullets.


If you want more information you can read the article, but basically I think tanks are awesome and a great weapon to have on the battlefield
