Don't go up the ladder, go down. I extensively use 20% concentrated vinegar to control weeds and brush on my ~1 acre property. It's just as fast acting and effective as Roundup, but instead of causing cancer, it smells like salad dressing. Unlike Glyphosate it is not a selective herbicde and kills broadleaf plants and grasses alike. So it's not as useful for farmers spraying Roundup resistant soybean crops. But for control of backyard weeds, it's much preferred to giving your family and pets cancer.

Oh, you are in for a treat. I'd really consider it more "words being spoken pompously" than "singing."

NASA developed, built, and operated a satellite catching craft over 50 years ago. It was called the STS, otherwise known as the Space Shuttle. Publicly, it caught the Solar Max satellite, the Hubble Space Telescope, and several others. Thatâ(TM)s what it was built for. What do you consider the chances are that a few Soviet satellites were also visited during the classified Department of Defense missions? https://www.nasa.gov/history/3...

I mean, no, not really. Penicillin was discovered in 1928, ignored for many years, and then was industrialized in about a a year and half in 1941 by a half dozen researchers working at the University of Oxford. The Manhattan Project took 3 years, 130,000 employees, 33 Billion dollars in modern currency, and created industrial waste sites which will be contaminated for at least 25,000 years.

Iâ(TM)ve seen a credible analysis that suggests they were going over 160 knots when they went off the far side of the runway. The approach speed for a 737-800 is usually around 140-150 kts depending on speed, snd touchdown is normally around 120-130. EMAS is a great invention and it should be installed wherever possible, but i donâ(TM)t think it would have helped significantly in this crash.
