An overcompensated kilometer.
what is a mile?
1600 large baguette.
It's an SI-derived unit equivalent to 8 furlongs
He had 6000 feet?
He’s either amazing at walking or incapable of it… 🤔
He was an incredible trumpeter and compose. Feet, though?
About 1,500 liters of maple syrup
1 mile is 5280 feet
how many football fields is that?
It's 7320 poutines. I'm not sure about football fields.
14.666666...
Iirc The best Sniper in WW1 was a Canadian (An indigenous one to) then came the white death who best his record in Finland, then a Canadian sniper beat him while serving in the middle east
Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have my facts mixed up.
The Canadians in the middle-east were called the "greatest snipers" by members of the US military - multiple kills over a mile (5280 ft or 1.6 km) but a Ukrainian sniper recently made a shot at well over 6000 ft. Would love to plant a little nervousness in that Orange Chump
RIGHT I forgot about the Ukrainian sniper.
trained by Finns?
As of the 2016 census, there are 143,645 Canadians of Finnish ancestry.
And we did just pick a Finnish rifle to equip the Canadian Rangers with
Fuckin deadly!
Call in a Canadian to Finnish the job.
Marksmanship is quite popular up here
Whose feet? 🦶
