Thermobaric munition on a long range drone. Sounds like something that could cause a large ignition of munitions stacked outdoors.

When I was first out of college I used to get 8-10 of pre-payed envelopes every week. I kept a PO box for my mail that I would check weekly.

I would have maybe 1 or two pieces of real mail and a full box of junk.

So I started folding up the junk mail I to the 8-10 prepared envelopes every week. This was all done at the counter next to my PO box and dropped mailed back right then.

It was quite cathartic.

I don't know the tactical donkey might be the better choice.

No metal to set off the magnetic triggers on anti-tank mines.

Excellent hearing to warn you of your imminent death from a drone or ambush.

Excellent sense of smell to warn you of danger around you.

Able to navigate rough country and stay in the tree line to avoid being easily detected.

I did respond to your other comment. Sorry bud, basic plant physiology and thousands of hectares of commercial production disagrees with everything you wrote.

Nurseries sell them like that because they can charge higher prices. Poorly informed consumers pick the larger plants thinking they will grow better. It's also easier for retailers to keep them wet very few of them have watering systems setup for them.

Running a specialty grow without basic knowledge of plant physiology.... Yep checks out.

The reason they are so tall is because of low light levels. With lower light levels the interplant competition causes them to stretch taller. More space under the same light levels would have a much shorter plant.

So what they need, more light. Specifically hardening off outside would be best.

They also need to be knocked around a bit by wind or mechanically to trigger stem thickening and lignin formation.

FYI commercial transplanters for thousands of commercial hectares around the globe usually use a 256 cell tray. I have also seen them use a 512 tray.

It also doesn't matter if tomato transplants get root bound. They are stem rooters. Transplant a 8" tall seedling with 6" of the stem buried and the entire 6" of stem will form roots.

Also transplanting with a larger plant usually means more severe transplant shock. A smaller plant generally adapts faster, grows a more balanced root system and produces more.

Poor lady lost her dildos in a cave 8,000 years ago.

That's a really nice suicide machine they built there

the anti-mine setup is charming. That thin sheet metal is going to be pulverized and blown back into the engine. Depending on the speed they are traveling I can see it causing them to do an awesome backflip.

Drone netting on an unarmored vehicle = ideal airburst explosion for maximum damage.

Just hit the pause button at around 5-6 seconds.

The disappearing act is definitely a one time performance.

Russia really needs to put some signs up around tall buildings.

Russia is losing artillery at incredible rates as well. That's the one I keep looking at to decline.

When those go down and stay down, it's time for Ukraine to plan a major offensive. .
