  • When I was more on the ag side of research, I know a former pilot/engineer who had decided to ruin his sons life by helping him on his farm.

    I kid. The guy was actually a fucking gangster. He had built/ modified a customer variable rate drill/ spray rig. The used it in combination with a hyperspectral sensor they had in a hole drilled into the up auger of the harvester. They worked with us to develop a hyperspectral model that used middle infrared light to predict protein.

    So basically, you run your harvest, and when you are doing this you are tracking both yield and protein content (with the sensor in the up auger). Then, when it comes time to plant, you’ve got a map of exactly how much nitrogen was used the previous season. Using this you now have the option to create an optimal yield map, or you can target a specific protein content for the grain.

    Anyways, no I don’t. But I’ve seen some pretty cool diy shit.



  • Could be. But also keep in mind that Ukraine had to spend the first three years of this war building a military industrial complex, starting practically from scratch. That just… takes time. And it’s a flywheel that once it’s going isn’t going to slow down.

    It’s hard to find good analysis on what’s really happening and I’ve found focusing on week to week events isn’t really helpful. Stepping back and looking at month to month, when we get to mid March. Things might seem very different.










  • Im not sure where you are jumping to that. It’s not like we need to bury the lede here:

    Schumer, one of the top recipients of funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and other pro-Israel donors, has limited his criticisms of Trump’s war posturing to questions of procedure rather than policy.

    Sr. Democrats avoided/ the vote because it’s a military action Israel want the US to do. Schumer and Jefferies are practically foreign agents operating on behalf of Israel at this point. Schumer has explicitly said he works on behalf of Israel.
