The drones are small and the refineries are designed to handle sudden failures in the system and fires. Ukraine likely has some experts directing the targeting of the most difficult to replace or explosive parts. So they get the best bang for their efforts

Given the size of the fireball I would guess that they hit something close to the end of the production line for diesel/gasoline.

We are already tipped into a global economic recession.

Wall Street is so detached from reality with it's head still in the sand.

Okay I learned this one in elementary school when I was like 6. A lovely school called Hellgate Elementary.

Congress decided to follow the peaks of the Bitterroot range and the Continental divide. These high points created a barrier for travel.

The nodules in the roots are the happy little homes that the plant provides for the bacteria to grow and reproduce in.

It's the production location, not the storage location. The nitrogen is incorporated into proteins and used all over the plant. It's especially concentrated in legume seeds.

For example winter peas can produce up to 400lbs/acre of nitrogen during its growing season (newer varieties like Icicles etc). If you removed the top and the seeds you remove around 350-375lbs of N. So you get 25-50lns of N per acre if you leave just the roots. So it's best to incorporate the entire plant in when the seeds reach soft dough stage.

A dwarf Dutch Clover like mini or micro clover is what you are looking for. Some It's a smaller form that blends very well with grass and requires very little maintenance.

Some people use standard forage type ladino or Dutch Clover. I have even seen some people use red clover (trifolium pretense).

You can get it by special ordering it online or a local seller with turf grass dealer/distribution contracts.

It's best to buy the seed innoculated and coated.

It's seeded at around 2-3bs/acre so a little goes a long ways.

Depends on the species of grass

Hard Fescue & Sheep fescue have it beat.

Tall fescue is about equal.

Blue grass, fine fescues, and perennial ryegrass require more water.

Slight clarification: Dutch Clover (trifolium repens) under nitrogen deficient conditions, at temperatures above 50F and below 95F, and with the correct rhyzobium species present, with soil pH between 5.5 & 8.0, can produce nitrogen that is stored in its tissue.

When clover is mowed and the clippings mulched back into the soil, the decomposition of the leaves adds nitrogen to the soil. If you remove the clippings the nitrogen goes with it.

Clover doesn't just release more nitrogen into the soil, it takes a bit of work.

That is one hell of a bargaining chip on the dealer.

The dealer now has an expensive dilemma: rebrand, offer to purchase the name, or lease the name back. Any choice they make will cost them.

If I was her I would get an estimate on how much rebranding would cost them and offer them a yearly lease at 1:20th of the cost. Sign a 5 year lease then up it by 50% every 5 years until they have to rebrand.

Say it would cost them 1 million to rebrand. First five years 50K/year next 5 years $75K etc. the object is to string them along while extracting a steady cash flow that initially seems easy to reach. She could probably get 30 years of payments out of them netting over 5 million and still fuck them over in the end forcing them to rebrand.

But I am vengeful that way.

Which is why a lower protein (spring/fall) koi pellet is a bit better. They also absolutely love it.

That's why I have to chase the female mallard duck out of my koi pond every spring. If she gets some of the koi food she makes a nest and raises babies.

By default I always turn off the location setting on the camera. I disabled it as soon as they introduced it as a "feature". I thought it was creepy as fuck and dangerous. Without the location most of the rest of the information is pretty benign.

For example her is the full metadata from a picture I took yesterday.

The only thing they would get is the model of phone I use. Which is essentially public information for every app maker I have installed on my phone anyways.

 

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.

 

Happens on both my Nokia G50 and S23. Scrolling past a hundred plus post it becomes sluggish then crashes the app.

Perhaps something to do with memory management?
