Tankers bearing sanctioned Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG)
IIRC, you have to burn off a certain percentage each day to keep LNG on a tanker cool, so presumably, they're going through their LNG supply.

Despite LNG tanks being insulated due to natural evaporation and rolling of liquid due to sea conditions there is about 0.10 - 0.15 % of total amount of cargo evaporating daily.
Never is a long time.
And thus a piece of Eastern European folklore that was popularized in a novel by a Irish writer and then spread via mostly American movies became a Japanese video game series now at least partially developed in Spain and begets a play acted by Japanese female actors.
Apple is now focusing on a cheaper model, known internally as the N109

Yeah, I can kind of imagine that that sort of limited the market.
For its part, Boeing representatives announced they are “reviewing the report, which appears to be based on an inapt comparison of the prices paid for parts that meet aircraft and contract specifications and designs versus basic commercial items that would not be qualified or approved for use on the C-17,” the company said in a statement.
looks dubiously at dispenser
In what way is the right-hand soap dispenser not adequately qualified?
EDIT: It looks like the C-17 can fly pressurized, so I don't think that it can be undergoing pressure changes, which is the one thing that I could think of.

Some generators censor certain words. I can imagine that it's possible that "shit" or similar is in the list.
EDIT: Some experimentation with a model (realmixXL) that clearly doesn't in ComfyUI: I can get a log cabin made of shit, especially if I crank down the prompt term weight, but it doesn't seem to generate logs made of straight feces. I'd guess that maybe there aren't enough photographs of straight feces to be able to pick up on that as being an option.
e.g.
A (log cabin:.7) made of poop in the woods.
Other substances clearly work:
A log cabin made of ice in the woods.
they are protected by geography
Lot of places in Russia have been until they weren't.
It sounds like this plant may have been accessible in this conflict even prior to long-range airstrikes getting longer range.

Multiple Dead After Mysterious Explosion at Russian Ammunition Plant
Published May 02, 2022 at 12:05 PM EDT
Amid the country's ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, an ammunition plant near the Ural Mountains in Russia suffered a massive explosion which resulted in fatalities.
The FKP Perm Powder Plant, which produces gunpowder and is located in the city of Perm, reportedly endured an explosion at approximately 8 p.m. local time, according to local authorities. The resulting fire eventually killed two workers and injured others. The incident has so far been pinned on "a product" that "caught fire."
inevitably
So, I have no idea what's going on there, but Russia can theoretically try to keep extremely lean inventory on-site, like, move out a truck-load as soon as it's completed, and isolate what on-site storage exists, minimize impact of the thing going off.
Obviously, that hasn't been successfully done in the past with depots that Ukraine hit, and I'm sure that it adds inefficiencies, but it's at least theoretically possible.
Police in Russian-annexed Crimea have charged a woman with child neglect after her 10-year-old daughter allegedly posted a video online that “discredited” the Russian army, authorities said on Wednesday.
The video, shared on Russian Telegram channels, showed a girl choosing between Russian and Ukrainian flags, with an angry-face emoji next to the Russian flag and a heart emoji next to the Ukrainian one.
In March 2023, a Russian man, Alexei Moskalyov, was sentenced to two years in prison after his young daughter drew Russian missiles raining down on a Ukrainian mother and child in an art class.
Children haven't always been yet socialized to avoid pointing out politically and socially awkward things.

"The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye klæder [ˈkʰɑjsɐns ˈnyˀə ˈkʰlɛːðə]) is a literary folktale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about a vain emperor who gets exposed before his subjects. The tale has been translated into over 100 languages.[1]
The tale concerns an emperor who has an obsession with fancy new clothes, and spends lavishly on them, at the expense of state matters. One day, two con-men visit the emperor's capital. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are incompetent or stupid. The gullible emperor hires them, and they set up looms and pretend to go to work. A succession of officials, starting with the emperor's wise and competent minister, and then ending with the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.
Finally, the weavers report that the emperor's suit is finished. They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all.

Frankly, given that you work around a lot of explosives and Ukraine has hit munitions plants recently, I'm not sure that having long shifts and no days off is the worst thing that could be happening.
I'm sure they burn it off. I can see some reference to LNG tankers having the ability to use the LNG as fuel,, so I assume that they just send it there.
