Just a scratch, that will buff right out..

So the tens of thousands of drones Iran has send to Russia to be used to attack Ukraine was totally different.

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Hmm....

They hit what remains of the Black Sea Fleet

They hit the anti-air in Crimea.

They hit the airfield in Crimea

They are hitting the ferries across the Kerch.

They are constantly hitting ammo stockpiles in the region.

Russian civilians in Crimea probably should get the fuck out now.

They most likely didn't strike the runway. They hit the equipment/buildings that make the runway functional and any aircraft surprised on the ground.

Refueling systems, mechanical bays, radars, etc are all pretty easy to destroy.

Get the largest vacuum bag. Stuff a giant stuffed animal into it. Suck all the air out of it until it looks llike a midsized irregular object. Wrap it and give it to your 5 year old nephew, having Christmas at grandma's house (6 hour drive from home).

Bahahahahaha

To be fair, my brother-in-law started it by giving my kids the loudest most annoying shit possible. Vengeance is mine.

Russia concentrated a lot of anti-air units in Crimea. It's a key logistics location and defends the black sea fleet.

Every one of those hits was likely part of a coordinated launch of a hundred drones and decoys. A successful hit makes the next attack easier for a short time. Unsuccessful attacks reveal where the defenses are.

I also suspect that Ukraine has put some radar sniffing sensors on their recon drones. They triangulate the exact location of the radar and then send in a flight to destroy them. Most of the videos recently show successful attacks on active systems.

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.

198

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.

98

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.

63

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.

72

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.

Veiwers who have worked with a lot of PhD's:

So they are going to make a extremely complicated evil plan only to be foiled by obvious oversight that only an idiot would miss.

I have a friend who grew up on the coast and her family always sailed for fun.

When she got divorced she bought a sailboat and traveled for a bit in it. She then parked it at a marina and lived in it for so many years close to her kids and grandkids. She paid $100K for boat and her marina fees were $300/month. The boat was paid off with the divorce settlement.

The cheapest 1 bedroom apartment to rent nearby was $3500/month for less square footage than her boat. The cheapest small house was around $1,000,000 or around $6000/ month at the time. The homes around the marina were all priced at several million dollars.

They also need to remove the limited liability from companies for intentional illegal activities.

illegal business practices should be charged to the people involved instead of the company. The executives who made the decision to break the law lose personal assets.

Otherwise the shitheads just pass the company losses onto the employees: no raises, hiring freezes, layoffs, reduction in benefits, etc...

That's the right Brock Turner who was sentenced to 6 months and was released after 3 months. Judge Aaron Persky thought a longer sentence would unduly harm the rapist, Brock Allen Turner.

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 129 points 2 years ago

After the rapist Brock Turner was given a slap on the wrist, California passed mandatory sentencing for rape.

He was accused of 3 rapes but convicted of 2. He received the maximum sentencing for each.

His lawyers are likely going to fight the conviction constantly until the money runs dry.

My personal thought is the conviction is unlikely to be overturned but a sentence reduction is likely. So he got the maximum sentence. Danny will likely be behind bars for at least 6-10 years for his crimes.

Let me summarizes the entire article:

  1. Ethical cops decrease crime. So less of them are needed.

  2. Corrupt cops increase crime. So people think they need more cops. Which increases crime some more...etc...
