Scotch as in the tape, not the whisky
The rain would quickly render it useless as an explosive, and if it was inside a container the metal would shield it
and even then, ammonium nitrate is just an oxidiser, (in layman’s terms, it makes already flammable stuff burn faster when ignited, so fast that in some cases it detonates), and without fuel it can’t do anything on it’s own
Ammonium nitrate isn’t dangerous.
It’s not gunpowder, it’s not rocket propellant, it’s not liquified natural gas
you need extreme heat and fuel to make it detonate, in the Beirut case that was given by nearby stored fireworks, but otherwise it’s pretty safe to use, you can blast it with a blowtorch and it doesn’t even burn
The misconception of it being explosive comes from the fact that people buy it as fertilizer and then use it to make bombs by mixing it with fuel and other primary and secondary explosives (or just to have some fun with homemade gunpowder), and even then, usually you use potassium nitrate, a derivative of ammonium nitrate, because the ammonium nitrate is just so goddamn hard to detonate
Now, should they accept the ship? I don’t know, as far as I know Russia’s regulations might as well allow storage of ammonium nitrate inside the ship’s fuel tanks, but some simple checks would mitigate 99.99999% of risks.
That said, it’s still Russia and we shouldn’t be giving it money anyways, but I’m not gonna get into politics here
still scary AF
ok slightly unrelated but the satellite pictures have an insane resolution for having been taken from, you know, space

Gen Z definitely drinks a lot, at least in my personal experience, but studies agrees with the comic, so I guess it would depend on the country/age group
it was a viral trend on tiktok a couple months ago, where many women said they would choose to encounter a bear rather then a man if they found themselves in the middle of a forest

nice thing about LRAD is you can build your own and do a ultimate showdown with the cops
yeah you should absolutely support your local library if you can, I’m just an introvert who doesn’t like it
try anna’s archive and sci-hub next time, they usually have most papers for free
happening right now. I guess it’s a sign

hell nah I’m just gonna sip on some water and patiently wait for the moment where I’m suddenly treated as their savior for still being able to drive

my dumbass: actually, did you know that the sun outputs 3.83×1026 W? that’s so much that the energy output by the Sun in just one hour could power the Earth for about 56.1 trillion years at the current global consumption rate. Or, if you …blah blah blah something something Kardashev scale…
yeaaaa not my proudest move
this is how i imagine EDC people carrying their 31 gadgets without a backpack
