Your head might need the rest from the glasses on your head, but when you take your glasses off your eyes have to work harder to compensate. So, the idea is sound, but the explanation is wrong.
I get a census form in the mail every ten years. No matter how early I send it back someone still comes to my door trying to take the census again after that lol
Calcium chloride exists, it’s CaCl₂. You need two chloride anions for each calcium cation. [see note*]
It’s safe to eat as long as food grade. In fact it’s used in cheesemaking. It’s salty and bitter. It’s also used to dehydrate stuff in laboratory, since it absorbs water like there’s no tomorrow.
It doesn’t behave like metallic calcium at all. Just like sodium chloride (aka table salt) doesn’t behave like metallic sodium (warning: loud noise).
*Note: technically CaCl (one chlorine) exists, as a diatomic molecule. Rarely found in stars, you won’t find it in Earth.
In addition to what others have posted, as long as you’re honest about it just being a hat and not making any special claims about it (like it was owned or worn by a famous person), I think you’re good.
If it’s written according to standards of any sort, then research it first as it should have been explained already and if it isn’t, they just expect you to know. If it’s some form of casual writing that isn’t structured that well, then you might need to look for contextual clues in the original text first, and then search them up together for more insights.
I’m not gonna speak to whether you should or should not, but I always do. It’s rare for me to come across a word I don’t already know anymore, but when I do I want to know it. I always look up words I don’t know or am not sure about, immediately.
To send a piece of mail to a ship, you send it to a Fleet Post Office, listed as the city and state.
For example, if the ship is stationed in the pacific fleet (AP- armed forces pacific), you’d send it to:
Jane Q Sailor USS Whatever FPO AP (the unit zip code)
And the mail would be forwarded to the ship anywhere in the world to meet the ship with supplies. I don’t know all the codes, but they’re all similarly formatted.
For WWII specifically, anything written might not actually be sent. V-Mail services photographed letters, reduced them onto microfilm, and reprinted them overseas. A lot of people were sending a lot of mail and paper is fucking heavy.
AFAIK, addressing worked about the same way it works now: you’re given an address for a specific person, at a somewhat-abstract location. Sometimes it’s a very concrete place - no pun intended - like a permanent airbase or an actual city. Sometimes it’s a boat. Sometimes it’s a “forward operating base,” which falls somewhere between no-fun-allowed paintball facility and Burning Man with more grabassing.
APO – Army/Air Force Post Office. The Military Post Office for Army and Air Force personnel
FPO – Fleet Post Office. The Military Post Office for Navy and Marine personnel
DPO – Diplomatic Post Office. The preferred designation for mail addressed to Department of State overseas post offices.
MOM – Military Ordinary Mail. Mail originating from the Department of Defense.
MPO – Military Post Office. Provides postal services for military personnel.
PAL – Parcel Air Lift. An expedited service for Package Services is available for an additional fee.
Anyway you can also send “unit boxes” for a whole group, but I think you’re still supposed to address them a specific individual.
