Gotta add on another level.

Zoning laws and HOA's give larger construction companies a significant competitive advantage over smaller companies. This limits competition and drives up the cost while also degrading the average quality of the construction as the larger companies seek to maximize profits.

Instead of cardboard have you seen the pool noodle setups?

That is a combination of drought stress and not enough light. Need to water them more and give them a stronger light source.

The combined refining capacity now sidelined or curtailed amounts to roughly a quarter of Russia's national total, more than 30 percent of its gasoline production, and around 25 percent of its diesel output.

Damn, that's going to have an impact. If they keep hitting them at this rate, gas a diesel shortages will grind the Russian economy to a standstill.

Russia will be rushing to repair these facilities and get them online as quickly as possible. So repeated, strikes will be needed to make Russia suffer this summer.

I never use any voice commands for my phone. So I disable it and uninstall all voice related apps and settings.

An unexpected benefit was this significantly improves the overall performance of the phone.

My dog barks at any knock.

Me upstairs staring downstairs at the dog.

Dog staring directly at me watching my hand as I knock on the wall.

Dog... barking his little dumb head off.

My wife "Stop messing with the dog to wake me up, you bastard!"

What douchebag corporate manager only beats around the bush for 15 minutes? Their defining characteristic is long-winded bullshit ramblings.

A 10 slide presentation takes 2 fucking hours and it obvious the manager has no fucking clue what they are talking about.

It's nothing but an existential hatred of existence. Damn things are suicidal. There was always a few that managed to kill themselves every year on the ranch.

4 lbs... Seriously how?... I can hardly get through 1oz. It's too much sugar.

I think they put some incendiary chemical in those. Something like napalm. That large blast caught everything on fire.

Ukraine are experts at blowing shit up and caching it on fire now.

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.
