Well…spit… growing up on the ranch we had between 13 to 18 horses around all the time. Everything from Arabians to some workhorses.

Now we only shoed them in late summer for the fall when we were working cattle.

Now swimming is an interesting topic. During the hot days in the summer we would hop on a few hoses bareback and race across in the ponds.

You would think the massive workhorses with their oversized hooves would win. Poweful, strong animals with big flippers on the bottom. Unfortunately they were the slowest in the water. They were stiff and inflexible, dumb and slow. They tended to swim a few feet, decide it was too much work, turn around and find some nice grass to eat.

Now the Arabians with the smaller stature and dainty little hooves were by far the fastest in the water. The fastest was horse named ugly. He was a swayed back ill tempered little guy with a massive chip on his shoulder. He just had to be first everywhere. He was almost as vicious as the Spawn of Satan aka “Shetland pony”. Now Spawn of Satan didn’t like the water because brimstone and water don’t go together so we never got him to swim.

What’s curious is after they were shod and their hoofs trimmed down, they all seemed a wee bit faster. I guess the smaller hoof works better for their swimming mechanism.

All fully armed and ready to launch.

Judging by how the rest of the crew scattered except the guy doing the launching, this isn’t the first time they have come under fire during a launch.

Yes.

For a long time identifying bacteria required growing them on different media. If then bacteria didn’t grow on the media, we didn’t know what it was. However for most pathogenic bacterium we did figure out how to culture them.

Then molecular biology advanced to a level where we can amplify and sequence a single bacterium’s DNA. This has led to a continuous stream of new species discoveries from different environments.

Finding a new pathogenic bacteria for humans is still a rare discovery.

It’s probably an effective way to light a car on fire.

At the base of the windshield is a water collection and drain system. This is usually all plastic and flammable. It also drains down to the ground.

So the primary point of ignition is the drain tray. The flames on the ground might catch some parts of the engine compartment on fire as well.

I imagine it’s routine to drop things that explode before ramming the drone from above.

So I am guessing a lot.

The dark green means they are underripe. Many people harvest them early if a frost is coming. When harvested unripe they do not store well and end up rotting out faster (the external shell has not cured).

It’s better to pick an earlier maturing variety if your season is not long enough for them to mature in. These varieties generally have the precocious yellow gene which makes immature fruit a bright yellow.

Well, her new business is a subscription service to keep the pictures she has of them off the internet.

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…

I carry all of them in my truck at all times.

Then there is my machete and a bunch of knives.

Aka work tools.

I keep looking at it wondering … Why? The others are common. The truck, however took a little special reasoning.

Foo Fighters, Green Day, Weezer,

Damn it!!!.. Fuck you…

Stop bringing logic to their murdering.

It ruins it.

The lies that people tell themselves. Frostbite says bullshit to that. When it gets that cold staying warm is not easy. Especially when the wind starts to blow.

Cooling down in high heat: A cold drink, sun umbrella, and a ice pack under your hat.

My very first job was in Minnesota and the snow is not what you have to be afraid of.

It’s the damn frigid temperatures. My wife and I quit our jobs, broke our lease, packed up and moved to California after one delightful -27F day.

I would guess they had a bunch of anti-mines. They were likely going to drop them off after they tuned around.

It looks like there was two explosives on that one.

The drone explodes (white) which sets off a much larger secondary blast (dark grey). Wonder what that was.

It’s a fire from the debris of the drones they shot down. That just happened to hit directly where the Ukrainian’s were targeting. That was shot down by an anti-aircraft system located 500 miles away.

Asshole ExBosses are totally fair after a mandatory 3 year cooling off period.

Academia is usually about minutiae, not concepts. Sometimes they get so hyperfocus in small areas that they are completely unable to give a general summary of what they are doing in the bigger picture. To do so would require them to understand things outside of their very narrow field of study.

One thing I learned over the years is that there is zero training in being a good manager. Promotions to management are based upon two things: technical expertise or relationships (brown-nosing/nepotism etc.) Having managerial skills is completely unnecessary for the job.

Very few “managers” take the time to observe, study, and gain the skill set needed when they are in the job. Most end up regurgitating the most recent MBA bullshit fad.
