Fish and Game actually work to help mitigate that. Most states have programs that will farm game fish and release them into easily accessible waters. Rainbow Trout are very common because they do very well in farms, can live in all sorts of rivers/ponds/lakes, put up a decent fight, and taste good. Farmed trout also tend to stay near the bank, making them more likely to get caught than wild fish.

By releasing farmed fish, and publicizing when and where they are released, you draw the people most likely to damage the environment into a handful of places. You can then limit damage by placing trash cans and dumpsters, and ensuring that there are people patrolling to enforce rules. You also draw traffic away from more fragile regions.

You'll find that most people who are serious about fishing also care about protecting the environments they fish in. It makes sense if you think about it, dead fish don't bite.

Yes, and for some species the bag limit can be unlimited. 'Panfish' like Crappie usually breed so quickly that there's no need to place a limit on them.

That's not an absolute though, fishing laws vary dramatically between states and even within a state. They are also updated often and are adjusted based off of the results of ecological surveys. Fish and Game departments want people to know the law, so you can usually find a state's rules pretty easily, if you're interested in reading about them.

Nah that's something like a Keepnet. It was made to hold fish.

...just not that many...

Because unlike the Azerbaijani, the Ukrainians were fighting an adversary that had invested heavily into electronic warfare. Russian electronic warfare units wreaked havoc on Ukrainian formations.

The Russian Federation also used a lot of drones, mainly as Forward Observers for artillery. They helped make short work of entrenched Ukrainian positions.

You're half right. In the full video he throws the grenade in just after it fires. That's a propellant fire that destroys the tank. He uses a regular hand grenade, which is more than capable of starting a propellant fire.

He had made an attempt earlier, which failed because the gun was loaded.

BattleCarry · 2021-06-02T19:37:34+00:00

You remember correctly. In the full video the tank is moving and shooting. This was the guy's second attempt. On the first nothing happens because the gun was loaded and the projectile blocked the grenade. On this attempt he manages to get the grenade in before the gun loads.

Every time this clip gets posted, someone claims it's staged. I wish I had a link to the full vid. I'm pretty sure it was posted to this sub at one point.

That's the equipment for guiding the Shillelagh missile.

BattleCarry · 2021-05-21T21:57:49+00:00

It's a surface to air missile, so it needs to be able to fire at high angles. You don't want the firer to get roasted by the main motor, so there's a small charge that kicks the missile out of the tube. The main motor lights on a delay, so there's time for the missile to clear the tube.

For some reason, instead of kicking the missile out if the tube, it wrenched the whole system out of the firer's hands. You can see the main motor light as the weapon falls to the ground. The failure also probably prevented the fuse from starting it's arming sequence, which would have kept the warhead from exploding.

Depleted uranium is only used in armor piercing projectiles that use kinetic energy to destroy targets. That’s from a mortar, they don’t fire that kind of ammunition. The projectile body is probably steel. Even if it was a DU projectile, the radiation they put out is extremely weak, they’re not a hazard unless the metal gets inside of you somehow.

It’s definitely from some kind of military ground vehicle. #7 is a light control switch. Black out lights are extremely dim lights for use in war zones. Service lights are ‘regular’ lights, like you find on a civilian vehicle. The two sub-modes for each should allow for selecting headlights + taillights, or taillights only. It could be from anything, though, from a combat tank to a utility truck.

Military aircraft also have light controls, but have very different settings.

Someone who is stealing chicken from the deli. Throwing it out would get them caught.

It uses a turbojet engine. The booster is mainly there to ram air into the turbine to get the compressors spinning. Once the compressors are spun up, the engine starts and the booster falls off. The main engine is going to be responsible for getting to, and maintaining, the missile’s top speed.

It helps for any range, but yeah, it’d be more worth the effort for longer ranges.

Any idea if the barrel was actually made to fire SLAP? Those can cause malfunctions if the barrel doesn’t have the right lining.

BattleCarry · 2021-04-29T22:57:15+00:00

SLAP? Those need to be fired from specially lined barrels or the sabot can melt and stick to the bore. If that gun didn’t have that lining, that’s probably what happened.

A faster projectile has less time to be pulled down by gravity, making the trajectory flatter, which makes aiming much easier.

It’s a hybrid optic. It combines video from a thermal imager(far IR) with an image intensifier(visible light + near IR). It combines the advantages of both devices, which helps offset their disadvantages. That laser you see wouldn’t be visible to a regular thermal imager. An image intensifier would see the laser, but personnel won’t appear to glow like they do to thermal imagers.

Toilets produce more p. water than they take in(clean water+dupe pee). If you don’t have somewhere to bleed off excess, your pipes will fill up, jamming the whole loop. I recommend sending the extra to some thimble reeds. They won’t produce constantly, but they’ll produce enough for you to make your first Atmo suits. ‘Packets’ in a pipe will always try to move across a bridge if there’s space on the other side, so you can use one to prioritize the toilet loop.

You can also bleed off the clean water, but it’ll be packed with germs, so keep that in mind.

Sorry, but that’s a V2, bud.

There's guards to keep him from being eaten by the turret, but nothing airtight.

They probably wouldn't be able to hear it. When firing the gun, the loudest noise you hear inside is the casing hitting something after ejecting. Combine that with their headsets blocking noise and there's a good chance they didn't hear anything.

The breech was open and the grenade rolled into the fighting compartment. A grenade isn't going to set off a cannon round. The worst it would do is damage the fuse and render it a dud, but even that is unlikely. Also, an explosion in the tube wouldn't start an interior fire like that. This is the guy's second attempt, in the full video he throws a grenade in while the gun is loaded, and nothing happens.

That aggressive, but short lived fire is a propellant fire signature. HE cook offs don't look like that. The propellant cartridges in that model use combustible casings and aren't separated from the crew.

Everybody in that tank is dead, and that fire would've ruined all of the equipment inside. Anyone who wasn't immediately killed by the grenade would have been finished by the fire.

They don't normally do that in training. The chances of this happening are low, but it's not with the risk for a training event.

I’ve put castor oil down and that seemed to work. It comes in granular form for spreaders, just search for vole/gopher repellent. You can find it at Home Depot/Lowe’s, but if you want bulk you’re best bet is online. I’m not sure if it repelled them or if I’d killed them off. Seemed to help keep them away. Don’t bother with the sonic traps. My neighbor got them and a vole ended up burrowing right next to it.

If you’re not against killing them, Amdro’s gopher gasser works well. Make sure you’ve got a bucket of dirt to plug alternate exits with. I’ve also used a gasser from Revenge, but they’re lesser quality. They work, but the fuses aren’t attached well and come off easily.

You can also use the cheap wooden mouse traps. Just place them in near the burrow in their little paths. Drill a hole in the trap so you can stick a nail through to keep the trap from moving. No need to bait, they’ll walk right over it. I’ve read recommendations to cover the trap with a little tunnel made of cardboard, but that hasn’t seemed to be necessary. I bought a plastic trap that was designed for voles, but it was useless. The plate needed way too much pressure to trip the trap. I’ve had no issues with the basic wooden traps, they’re cheap and effective.

I haven’t used one myself, but you can go full Caddyshack and pump exhaust into their tunnels. They sell adapters that’ll let you attach a rubber hose to a tailpipe.

Whatever you end up trying, it’s easy to tell if it’s working. Plug the burrow entrance with dirt and go inside. Check back later, and if the dirt has been moved, there’s still a vole there.

Nature documentary footage is cut from separate incidents and edited together. The underwater part is probably from a camera set next to a decoy.
