    Ukraine

    The rumors I've heard (note these are just rumors) is that Russian smart weapons use US GPS to find their targets. So when the US blocked Russia's ability to use the US GPS Satellites their smart weapons no longer have the ability to track. Also although it would be nice if Russia's nuclear...

    Crop Land Rental

    One thing to ask yourself as well is what is the going market value, what is a fair and reasonable price to you (this could very well be under market value depending on your relationship with the current tenant), and what is the price that you would settle for (if this is over market value then...

    Ukraine

    It looks like a decision is going to be made today for the US to stop buying Russian oil. Will have to wait and see.

    Ukraine

    I wonder if Russia causes a release in radiation if it will be seen as an attack on the surrounding countries causing a NATO military response.

    Ukraine

    If built like the US (There is a nuke plant near where I grew up and had a very similar looking containment), and it may not be, it would be 3-6 feet thick of steel reinforced concrete with another 2-3 inches of steel plating interior to that. It isn't AR steel but that is still substantial. Not...

    Ukraine

    Nuclear containment for power stations in the US can take a direct impact from a F4 Phantom at max speed with afterburners lit. Hopefully it is the same there. If their containment is anything like what is required here in the states (I have no idea if it is or not) there shouldn't (emphasis on...

    Ukraine

    While I wouldn't oppose the US military helping the Ukraine in a direct way (because they actually asked us for help rather than us running in saying "WE'RE HELPING"), I also understand why engaging in direct conflict with a nuclear power defending a country that is not yet a formal ally is...

    Safety Section

    Exactly and it gives the OP a chance to reflect on the mistake and what they should have done instead.

    Safety Section

    Agreed, the number of people on the forum that have the professional ability to help with health (of any kind) are probably in the low double digits and that should be handled on a different platform.

    Safety Section

    They will, but a safety section isn't a rule book. It would be a location for useful information, questions, suggestions and discussion (just like everything else here). Nothing forces people to follow the advice there or even to read it for that matter. Just like nothing forces you not to put...

    Safety Section

    Ever have a lapse in judgment and after the fact go "wow that was dumb" (not including ex SOs) or done something entirely new to you and afterwards go "wow that was really unsafe I need to make some changes before doing that again"? A safety forum would give a centralized place to learn from...

    Safety Section

    This Post: http://orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/accident-to-share.54929/ Has had an amazing discussion of a safety incident that happened to a member and has grown into almost a general safety thread. It could be a good addition to the site to add a section for safety discussions. It...

    Winter wear/ Insulated gear

    Don't forget that if your core gets cold your body will send less blood to the extremities, and your core is where most of the heat in your body is generated, so these are the layers I wear when it is -17F: an insulating compression shirt, and long sleeves under the bibs then a sweat shirt and...

    Is a bx2380 too heavy

    It probably depends on spacing of your joists. although I would think it should be fine. If you want a little more support add another layer of plywood where the tractor will be parked and it will help distribute the load a bit more. Only reason I say this is I have to imagine they design the...

    question....

    Do some research into the new shop. Get an agreement on timeline on paper and see where that takes you. I know if I hire people for work a lot of time they need between 20 to 50% to start to cover materials. However, especially with your last experience do a bunch of looking into the new shop...

    EMP attack

    Assuming the 15 minutes is correct (I just don't have enough knowledge on it), 15 minutes is a significant period of time to be without communications in a military standpoint. Especially in detecting and repelling first strikes. If we assume that the emp goes off and 5 minutes later the attack...

    I am jacked

    I give it 50/50 odds if you posted it on FB Marketplace or craigslist for around what you purchased it for that someone would come buy it off you because of lead times on new right now.
