History says that the Russians being that smart is unlikely when it comes to preserving their soilders lives.

I think the drone hit slightly behind the ammo storage. It hit smack dab in the middle of the BTR. It might have ended up cooking-off eventually from the look of those fires.

Hopefully the countries charge appropriate prices for the gasoline. I am thinking somewhere around 5-6Euros/L wholesale is in the ballpark.

Job hopping is also very easy to explain during an interview.

Why did you leave this job. "I was seeking new opportunities for personal growth and development. The 30% pay raise wasn't bad either. "

My wife shops by slowly going through each section and trying on up to 20 items to keep 1 or 2. Takes 2-3 hours per store.

I know the what size and style my kids like to wear and skim through the store in under 10 minutes (they have very different preferences). Full school shopping would usually take 1-2 hours across 3-4 stores.

By the time they were 5 years old both of them refused to go clothes shopping with my wife.

Long story short, my wife always got the fashion show when we got home.

Now that they have gotten older my kids should be able to go shopping by themselves and not bother me but no... They drag me with them. "Its faster" they say.

They accept women into the club. It's a very inclusive club, hatred is the only requirement for entry.

That analysis statistically was terrible and the title is disingenuous and misrepresents the data set.

It's sort of sweet how Ukraine is clearly notifying all my he Russian tourist and immigrants to Crimea to "Get the fuck out."

Novak claimed that the restrictions on sales throughout the country were the result of "logistical issues that arise periodically and are explainable."

"Logistical issues" - Ukraine is blowing our fucking refineries up.

"That arise periodically" - they don't attack the same spot everyday.

"and are explainable."- We are idiots who attacked Ukraine and now we are fucked."

I'd say there accuracy is close enough. They both had a big enough boom to get the job done.

Looks like they found an ammo dump again.

For those that don't know why it made headlines.

According to Lorena, in the early hours of June 23, 1993, her husband came home drunk. He then raped her in their apartment. After the attack, she spotted a knife when she went into the kitchen. She returned to the bedroom and cut off her sleeping husband's penis.

Lorena, still holding the knife and the severed organ, then drove away from their apartment building. She tossed the penis into a field before ending up at a friend's house. At her friend's urging Lorena contacted the police and told them where she had thrown the penis. Police located it and reattachment surgery was a success.

Real life is crazier than fiction.

His mistakes were monstrously huge of course. He firmly believed that free-markets would regulate themselves and pushed to decrease regulations. His naivety screwed over millions of people and sunk the countryinto a global recession. Even worse he presided over massive increase of wealth inequality that we have never recovered from.

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.

289

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.
