They actually enforce that members of NATO spend percentage of GDP on weapons. As for individual other nations, hard to say, but it was still no competition with the fucking dictatorships.

Quite ironically the USA actually trained Afghanistan to fight off invaders before invading Afghanistan. Other nations like Iraq and Jordan threw hats in with the communists in the late 1950s.

Ya’ll really got it out for servicemembers.

After the 20th Century it became clear that war could spread anywhere at any moment and destroy vast swaths of people and nature indiscriminately.

The world had no choice but to ally with really big baskets. The USA was the most obvious choice given their lack of hostile landgrabs unlike China and Russia.

I’ve been looking into producing Semiconductor Grade Silicone Powder but I haven’t been able to decide between the Plasma, CVD, or more traditional furnace with reduction agent methods without knowing their operational costs. It would be kind of out of my price range to test each of them.

I can run some basic numbers if anybody knows a good industrial catalogue for the equipment.

Don’t forget to have fun and be yourself.

Hypothetically, if the snail with 2 investment shells were forced to sell them then do you think the slug would thereby be able to buy them? Because in all likelihood the slug would be forced to take out a loan in order to purchase a shell but clearly there are already shells on the market so if the slug could do that then they would already be doing so.

Furthermore, the costs of building shells might as well be higher than the actual listed price of the shells in some places, rural areas in particular, and the total number of vacant/unused shells is 10%. Without subsidies, the shell market will not come down in price to the point that people wouldn’t be unshelled from a number of shells suddenly entering the market.

So clearly, the ideal solution would be a needs based welfare program to provide homes to those who most need and benefit from them, and providing other necessary care and treatment to those who would do better in a specialized facility, all of which would have to be paid for via taxation of those who have the most assets and least need.

More like lack of investment because Republicans refuse to tax the rich in order to fund infrastructure and welfare.

The parties in control are not the type to regulate or fund programs, so no, not really.

You actually have to lure the hogs into a pen with multiple exits, drop the gates, and gun them down before they can manage an escape. You also should be very vigilant and listen well for any nearby hogs, the adult females tend to be smarter and more cautious but they’re the targets you NEED to kill.

Failure to catch all of the hogs will allow the others to learn and adapt to the traps, and failure to kill the females will result in their population continuing to grow.

Other effective methods are clap traps and spike pits but those don’t work well when you have children or other animals. There is also the M44 cyanide pill shooting trap made for Coyotes but idk if it works on Hogs.

I don’t really agree that this is the biggest issue, for me the biggest issue is power consumption.

How does it kill people?

Thats absolutely meaningless in the face of steel plates adhered to a plastic frame.

And Lemmy is run by Tankies, we kind of have to have faith in the ability to self-host with these platforms and make minimal compromises between them and the competitors.

What an excellent place to remind people of the Free and Open Source Element project built upon the Matrix platform.

They, in my opinion, desperately need contributors to provide the same level of features as Discord, particularly with community and moderation features such as a landing page where users can agree with rules and terms before using the server.

You should also just use the webapp in browser instead of the desktop application, imo.

Take a tupperware container set and test the water supplied to the field for PH value using a pack of litmus papers, then test the four corners and center of your field by scooping up some dirt, adding some water, and testing with litmus paper. Next, drain out the water and let it evaporate and look for signs of crystalization or condensates. Seal some of your soil samples to see if a healthy soil biome blooms in the sample, fungus and such.

A good healthy soil will have a strong biome. It and its water supply should be close to PH 6 to 7 for most tall grass and similar crops. There should be little to no saline in your soil, signs of that might indicate a brine pit forming in the water table near your land.

The most valuable single-season crops are crops that you can process yourself rather than selling to a granary. For examples: milled flour, corn byproducts, alcoholic ingredients, beets for sugar, bamboo, or switchgrass fermented into propionic acid biofuel. The major downside to being your own processor is that you’re also your own distributor which is very difficult.

Sometimes subsidies make unprofitable crops profitable, sometimes granaries or local brewers offer a good price for specific crops. Be sure to check the local market thoroughly.

Make sure to join up with any farming groups in your area and get insured for any farming you do. Also get somebody to provide some bee boxes.

Those Tankies are looking for me, that’s a certainty.

yikes tough crowd

Sharks result in about 8 human fatalities per year.

Humans result in about 100 Million shark fatalities per year.

Suddenly the misrepresentation starts to make sense.
