Revolutionizing Agriculture: The Sustainable Impact of No-Tillage Farming No-tillage farming, also known as zero tillage, is a sustainable agricultural practice that minimizes soil disturbance. Unlike conventional plowing, it keeps the soil intact, preserving its structure and composition. This method significantly reduces soil erosion by up to 90% compared to traditional tillage. It not only enhances soil health by maintaining its natural state but also conserves water by improving water infiltration and retention. It also supports biodiversity and habitat preservation, and mitigates climate change through increased soil organic carbon.

Iran may attack U.S. forces with $400 cost interceptor drones — like rus-sian «Molniya». Its significantly cheaper than the Shahed drone and has a range of up to 60 km, when the width of the Strait of Hormuz is 40–50 km. While the missiles for Patriot systems — likely to be often used by the U.S. to intercept these threats — cost about $4M. How do you like that cost ratio?😉 In this video, we’ll discuss how 7 Corps experience can help in countering Iran. And about the capability to mass-produce low-cost interceptor drones (with Генерал Черешня 🍒). Watch the video, like and share this post!👍

News from northern Norway: The grid operator has assigned 50MW to our legacy 926,000-square-foot industrial facility (with up to 396MW still pending in the queue.) Building a solar supply chain to deliver scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy in the United States is our core mission. This decision enables our assets in the Nordics to be developed as world-class data centers utilizing the region’s abundant low-cost power. Takk Norway!

🇮🇷 Iran has reinvented attack drones with the Shahed-136, a low-cost kamikaze UAV. Priced at just $20,000, it flies low to evade radars, reaches up to 4,000 km, and carries up to 90 kg of explosives. Proven in combat by Russia and the Houthis, it overwhelms enemy defenses with swarm attacks. Simple to produce, sanctions-proof, and ready to strike against the US and Israel. The Shahed-136 is a game-changing, cost-effective weapon shaping conflicts in the Middle East and beyond.

$Fast-tracking the video to the rounded up figure of $100k a year (circa $274 a day) and this is without discounting the personal cost it has on you for ownership… You could halve the cost with hiring a professional when it suits you at a fraction of the yearly cost with a weekly expenditure of $1000. The upside of women monetising themselves and putting a price tag on themselves is they make themselves more easily comparable for arbitrage purposes.$

Jeffries: Hegseth is a complete and total disgrace. He came to Capitol Hill and, I believe, lied under oath with respect to the actual cost of the war. He claimed that we’ve spent about $35 billion. The reality, we believe, objectively, is that this war has cost the American taxpayer over $100 billion and counting

$Iran is increasingly relying on drones to strike targets across the Middle East, using unmanned systems that can be produced far more quickly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional missiles, CBS News' Holly Williams reports. One of the main drones being used is the Shahed drone, which costs an estimated $20,000 to $50,000 per unit, compared with missiles that can cost millions of dollars. The widespread use of drones is reshaping modern warfare, a trend already seen on the battlefield in Ukraine and now playing out across the Middle East.$

Russian scientists turn sand into stone using bacteria to build roads in the Arctic The newly developed method uses naturally occurring bacteria to produce calcium carbonate, which binds sand particles together like glue — creating a durable foundation for roads and industrial facilities 🟠 The bacteria are extracted from coastal soils and mixed with a nutrient solution, triggering the formation of calcite crystals that fill gaps between sand grains 🟠 Lab tests showed the treated soil becomes strong and resistant to water erosion 🟠 The method is designed specifically for the Arctic, where repeated freezing and thawing often deform conventional roads and pipelines 🟠 The technology can also bind heavy metals and radioactive elements, making it useful for cleaning contaminated sites The innovation could offer a sustainable, low-cost solution for building in harsh northern environments — without harming the fragile Arctic ecosystem.

"The entire cost model...they fire the Americans, make them train their replacements, and hire them at half the cost. THAT WHOLE MODEL is blown up by this [visa] fee! That's why it's so important!"
