A large equipment mechanic I know only wears scrubs.

I might have asked him, “What’s the diagnosis Dr.” once or twice as after he looked at a tractor/combine etc…

They made great fidget toys.

I loved my slider as well. They made texting so much easier. I went from one of those to a blackberry bold.

I really do think a trump rally with free beer and everyone having a loaded automatic weapon would be good for America.

They are only “semi” on the papers. The all have cheap mods to turn them “fully” because the “Guvment” can’t tell them what to do with their gun.

So untrained cosplayers waving around mechanically compromised loaded firearms.

A regular Dr. appointments in my area are out 2 months.

Specialist are at 6 months. Some of them are out as long as 18 months .

My wife is going in for non-emergency surgery today, it’s taken 6 months.

It’s gotten bad enough that you have to go the ER or Urgent care for stuff a GP traditionally to handles.

Look up Providence Group, they purchase the local hospital system and have since fucked it up. Providers are leaving in droves because of their naked corruption.

Definitely run a soil test.

Soil that doesn’t drain well often builds up salts. These can make growing anything quite difficult.

From the grape picture I would guess it’s a micronutrient deficiency like Zn or Ca.

FYI in the U.S. you can get a utility patent on any variety. Its not specific to the GMO. Patents differ from regular PVP (plant variety protection) in that they restrict others using it in breeding efforts.

The major difference is varieties are not patentable in the EU but GMO are.

Of course the varieties were intended for countries that do not enforce U.S. or E.U. intellectual property laws anyways. So it was not possible for Monsanto to collect royalties on golden rice in the target market.

That announcement was them trying to put a positive marketing spin on it. “Oh we won’t attempt to seek royalties on a product in countries we can’t collect royalties in…”

Look up Greenpeace actions against Golden Rice. It’s an example of how misplaced ideology literally kills millions of people.

Oh they have also have made GMO rice with folic acid.

Long range attacks are about knocking out supplies, the ability to produce new supplies, and the ability to get supplies to the front line.

Say Russia is getting more newly made artillery shells to the front line. The best way to fix this is to blow up the factories.

If you can’t take out the factories directly, take out components that the factories need to operate: ore processing, fuel refineries, electricity grid, etc.

The problem is all the critical targets are a long ways from the front line and Ukraine currently has limited capacity to hit them.

Meanwhile Russia is targeting all of Ukraine’s internal infrastructure constantly.

Long wars are won by the production capabilities of the groups involved as much as the front line troops.
