I am pretty sure I can grasp exactly how to scale up the production of some chemical as a chemical engineer doing exactly that as a job. Bulk production of chemicals is EASY to scale compared to such discrete manufacturing.

Most facilities are not built for rapid expansion of processing explosive material. The current expansion of US RDX production capacity is projected to take half-a-decade and a billion dollars.

An amazing shot!

“They call me the BUTCHER of GORZGNABEL! Do you think it’s because I’m ORDINARY!? Because I’m UNEXCEPTIONAL!? NO! My own kind would prefer to scratch dirt for living - but I alone can drive them before me as an extension of my will! The orcish people have come to know my terror, and submitted to it like cowering dogs - and soon too will the race of man!”

Yes, for those you need quality steel and machine it with precision, every single one. You can not simply make a larger reactor to scale production 10x.

For artillery ammunition?

Fuck, man, artillery shells are made to fired in the thousands. Dumb rounds, at least, require no such level of precision - and, for that matter, making a ‘larger reactor’ is an oversimplification of the process necessary to scale the production of explosive material.

I think it depends on which four, tbh

Generally, high-quality pieces would have been made by artisans (and thus usually custom), not factory-made. The high demand meant that the skills to make these pieces were more commonly pursued by woodworkers, thus making a larger labor pool (and so, cheaper labor), but the technology available and higher price of resources means that it would have required more expense in the form of materials and more man-hours to create the product.

Man, this is a war in which artillery ammunition has seen severe supply shortages, not delivery shortages.

Everything has a cost.

Even just starting large-scale SOF raids without intention of retaking Crimea immediately would be a significant game-changer.

The Netherlands still supports democracy.

A friend of mine once had me pose with two of these when on a roadtrip (we had never seen them before).

So he could say I had “azburgers”

do people know you can pay for custom pieces

Like, if a door knocker is that important to you, like an upper-middle class 19th century homeowner, you can just… pay 500$ or so for a nice one. I promise you that the 19th century homeowner paid much more for their’s, adjusted for inflation.

Xenophobia is when you don’t speak French?

Or when you make a joke about language not being obtained at birth?

If they didn’t have projection, would fascists have anything at all?

Sure, but all on the same day?

… is that three bombers in one day? One from the US, one from Russia, one from Ukraine?

The fuck kind of cursed day was it?

Escalating ethnic cleansing in Israel? It must be a day ending in -y.

I’d double-check your local traffic regulations; there are places where you can get written a ticket for running a yellow light.

Holy shit, then what’s the difference in those places between a red light and a yellow light?

You had me at “evil”
