Well that one is crispy. Looks like a complete rebuild to me.
Those are water buckets. The helicopters are filling them in the river and dumping water. Likely for one of the building fires not the oil ones. Unless they are very, very stupid.
The ManPad just got a little confused. Giant tank of gasoline or little drone moving at high speed look identical.
My guess is the drone flying toward the smoke from the fire completely masked it's signature to the trailing ManPad. The ManPad went looking for another faint heat signature and found the tank.
A few people get the idea that they can make a profit by hoarding the fuel and selling it during the pending shortage. Add in the average person filling up a few extra containers. Then there is a shortage from "increased demand". The shortage from production will take a few days/weeks to work its way through the supply chain.
Well why not? It worked yesterday.
Just by talking about it:
Civilians who moved to Crimea from Russia are likely to move back to Russia.
Encourages Russia to hold significant reserves and stockpiles in the peninsula to fend off an incursion instead of sending them to the front.
7 Anti-air - damn.... Thats brutal.
Soared right past all of Moscows "impenetrable" air defense and blew the shit out of the refinery. In broad daylight as well.
Want to know how to keep a reflecting pool that size green? A couple bags of water soluable fertilizer (20-20-20) per week. Needs to be urea or ammonium based.
Free ammonia and phosphate in the water promotes the insanelynrapid growth of the algae that cause green water like that.
Also couple hundred people peeing in the pool nightly would also do the trick.
Likely just a 50 year old aircraft that has been in constant use for 5 years. Critical mechanical failures will happen eventually.
A college degree in many fields are an entry stamp to some higher paid positions. What they don't tell kids is that gate isn't reached until after 10-15 years of experience. Many people never reach it at all.
The entry level pay for college graduates also sucks in many fields. My first professional job that required a degree paid less than some of the jobs I worked to pay for college. Universities also push students into fields where they get funding for, not what the job market actually needs.
The ROI for college before entering the workforce often only makes sense if the student doesn't go into debt for it.
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.
That is a picture of cucumis melo.
