A Type 093 (Shang class) People's Liberation Army nuclear-powered submarine reportedly suffered a major accident near the disputed Taiwan Strait, killing everyone aboard the vessel.

No love for the Chinese but as an ex submariner, it bothers me when any country loses a boat. Very seldom are there survivors.

Crazy yield.

Smithville, Georgia, farmer Alex Harrell crushed the world soybean record this month, harvesting over 206.7 bushels per acre using Dekalb seeds. His achievement improves the previous mark of 190.2 Bu/A, which was set in 2019 by fellow Georgian Randy Dowdy.

Florida officials announced on Sunday that fuel purchased after 10 a.m. on Saturday was likely contaminated with diesel if it was supplied by CITGO from the Port of Tampa.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) made the announcement on social media, saying the contamination was caused by human error.

Gov. Ron DeSantis noted the announcement during a press conference regarding Tropical Storm Idalia, which is barreling toward the U.S. southern coast and could make landfall in Florida.

DeSantis said an investigation into the fuel contamination and how widespread it is, is underway.

The governor also said the contamination was "just human error," and the workers put diesel in tanks that were supposed to be for regular gasoline.

"Obviously if you have a tank of gas, and it’s 90% regular and 10% diesel, the dilution…probably may not ruin your car, but I mean if you put a whole tank of diesel in, that’s going to be a major, major problem," DeSantis said.

Can someone explain to me why tropical systems are "barrelling" towards land? Or anywhere for that matter
