Looks like gasoline storage tanks to me.

Your family member has succumbed to being a full Utard. It's caused by decades of exposure to the shit air quality in the SL valley and copius amounts of funeral potatoes.
There is no known cure.
So late Sunday.
Something is killing the grass in that picture. You need to figure out what it is. Common issues include fungal infections, insect damage or soil nutrient inbalance issues.
Dig around and see if you can figure out what is cause the grass to die. If it's an insect, identifying the insect can help you figure out how to control it. If it's a fungus, planting resistant species/varieties can eliminate the issue. For the soil nutrients sending a sample into a soil lab is relatively cheap and gives you an idea of what might be wrong.
The weed is buckhorn plantain. It's a perrenials that you have to remove the entirety of its roots (almost impossible). It's relatively easy to kill with a well timed application of 2-4D.

It does produce a massive amounts of seeds that can remain dormant for decades. So it will likely keep popping up for quite a few years.
I bought a machine right before 7 launched to replace my XP machine. Vista SP2 was solid by then. I ran it for over a year because it was extremely stable.
I waited a bit over a year to install 7 on the machine when it's SP1 came out.
Russia had an absolute massive stockpile of air defense assets at the beginning of the war. Ukraine has steadily worked at degrading these assets over time. The more they destroyed the easier it was to destroy the next asset.
At the same time Ukraine has massively increased it's drone capabilities and numbers at every range. So the remaining Russian air defense has to work harder with less numbers against more drones.
The longer ranges of Ukraines drones also means that Russia has to defend more area with less equipment. Russia is forced to prioritize assets to protect.
Today Moscow has a robust air defense system but whole sections of the front have close to zero. Ukraine has total freedom to hit any target they can find in many regions.
Russia is seeking to figure out a cheap effective way to defend their airspace. At the same time Ukraine is relentlessly damaging the infrastructure Russia needs to build the new anti-air capabilities.
For the past 10 years it's been $2-$4/gallon or less. The Russian government subsidizes the price of gasoline with revenues from the sale of crude oil.
"Ukraine is too far away and weak for them to fly a drone thousands of km to bomb them. So the only explanation is Russian traitors. "
The downside of extensive propaganda claiming that Ukraine is weak and about to collapse.
That's quite the picture.
$52 oil plus Ukraine's effective sanctions on the storage and transport infrastructure....
The market is massively overvalued.
My wife's fluffy white dog I drive around with for work. He likes to eat higher moisture corn and cow shit.
For silage corn the entire plant is harvested, chopped up, and packed tightly in a pile and covered with plastic or very large plastic bag. This creates an anaerobic conditions and yeasts/bacteria convert the sugars to alcohol, then acids. This acid preserves the feed for cattle for up to 2 years.
Silage corn is the most common base feed for all dairies and feedlots.
This isn't even the tallest variety out there. There are others that are 3' (1m) taller.
The machine with the spout is a chopper. They are a million dollar gigantic woodchipper. These things are fucking terrifying and you should absolutely stay out the field when they are running. Every so often a deer jumps into them.....shudder.... nightmare fuel.
Early in the season before a corn plant is waist high it takes a guess on how many kernals it can fill. Sometimes it guesses wrong and so it aborts the top kernals to fill the rest.
The entire top of the damn plant turns bright red.
As sugars build up in the top of the plant with no place to be transported to, the upper leaves start to turn bright red and die back.
You may get a bar bell ear or there may be no ear on the plant. In of field of millions of plants a bright red top narrows the search down.
Start getting your pinky in shape with this weird environmental triggered trait. It's easy to find in any corn field (to be continued...).
This right here is 350bu/acre of corn. 113 day variety on an almost pure sand field. Every damn ear looked the same. Look at that beauty, every kernal is huge and dense.
This here is trichoderma ear rot in an organic field. This 100 day variety was chewed on by an earworm. The damaged kernals allowed trichderma to enter and infect the ear. This ear rot produces many toxins and is a big no for consumption.
The twist - Trichoderma is usually a beneficial organism in the soil. It feeds on other pathogenic fungus/bacteria and is applied extensively for biological control.
Although normally a secondary pathogen, it has mutated to become a primary pathogen in both Italy and Germany in recent years.
This here is a genetically susceptible 113 day variety to fusarium kernal rot. This is a nasty little fungus that produces all sorts of mycotoxins that can give any mammal that consumes it a belly ache or even death. It's easily identifiable by the white streaks in causes in the kernals.
This 98 day little minx has a flirty pink cob. It doesn't look like much but it packs quite the wallop. The ears posted yielded 302bu. Medium high ear placement and a fast drydown makes this an excellent choice for grain.
This is pretty little 102 day number with a bright white cob that threshes very easily. It does extremely well for dry grain, high moisture grain or earlage.
The field in this picture averaged 305bu.
Probably the easiest plant to care for once you figure it out.
I water it every month or two. Fertilize it every 2 or 3 years. Redirect the arial roots into the pot when I water.
It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning.
Every 5 or 6 years I haul it outside in the summer. Then leach the pot with the garden hose to remove the salt buildup. I also hack the plant back to a more manageable size.
Clever use of an inexpensive small civilian aircraft. The list price for a brand new one is 20-25K euros. Add in probably 10-15K for the remotes. Gives Ukraine a reusable heavy precision bomber with a few hundred km range for less than 40K. Less than the cost of most one-way medium-long range attack drones.

They are also very light and small. The wings can be folded back so they can be stored/transported easily. A regular passenger car can tow them on a small trailer. They can take off and land in less than 300m so they can be used about anywhere.
They are highly susceptible to gound fire, manpads, any type of AA, and some attack drones. However given their cost, a plane making 1-2 successful attacks before being shot down more than justifies their cost.
