Absolutely right. One person's weed infestation is another's natural resources wet dream. In my NS nation the industry is booming; a LOT of it is grown on large farms, hillsides, and massive fences and seeds are replanted faster than the kudzu is harvested, not that you actually need to replant something like kudzu.

My dad talks about being a kid in North Carolina and driving along interstate highways where it had literally grown for miles in every direction.

I asked her and she said she invented the term to mean a boat which has internal torpedo bays in the hull (above the water) from which it can drop torpedoes directly into the water.
...so according to her the Japanese had torpedo loggers during WWII? Or that the French and Italian fleets of today are mostly equipped with torpedo loggers?


Dumb invented terminology is dumb.

Dumb invented terminology is dumb.
I went through her posts to see what other terminology she made up, and I found a post where she made a tank, and in the description she refers to tandem-charges as "double-penetrating rounds".

This is her "tank". I don't know about the rest of you guys but to me what is supposed to be the gun looks like an inverted sauce spoon.

So apparently surface vessels with torp tubes are torpedo loggers, and the Javelin missile uses a "double penetrating" warhead.

She seems to make decent-looking planes though.

The Vares "Stealth" Fighter

Our first low-observable fighter, the Vares (Crow). Originally designed to counter the threat of the T-50, it has replaced the L-39 Albatross as our main fighter, relegating the latter to a trainer role. Although less capable than the F-22, it is still a quite versatile aircraft. It was used as a show of force off the coast of the Põhjamaa region to deter covert arms shipments form reaching anarchist rebels.
