  1. Well, the MBP is 8GB, but I really only use it for Preview and haven't upgraded to the latest OSX, whatever it is. I get by with 8GB on my Chromebook using Libre Office in a Linux VM, which does tax memory a bit, but still leaves plenty of overhead. I am pretty addicted to to a backlit keyboard though. And I understand I might hate a Mac without TouchID because it's requiring PW for everything now.
  2. Just for shits n giggles. One of the tankers set alight has a DWT capacity of 70,000MT. So let's round that down to 50k. About 7.5 bbl to the ton, and 42 gallons to the bbl. So that tanker held 15.8 million gallons of oil. The largest tank truck holds about 10k gallons of liquid. So that would be 1575 tank trucks just for the one tanker.
  3. Guzzoline!
  4. Why is the goddamn secretary of energy even speaking on these matters? He's already shown he doesn't know shit.
  5. Shit, they just had a refurb m4/256 for 759 that's out of stock, probably gone forever. Don't really need to pay 100 more for another 256. I'm also getting by on 128 just fine.
  6. Guess this belongs here. My last real computer was a 2017 MBP. I have been subsisting on it and a couple of Chromebooks for the last nearly 10 years. I clearly am not a power user. I must have Preview, though, for making patent drawings. So, the Neo seems right up my alley. But, it has no keyboard backlight. That may be a deal breaker. Also, keyboard is supposedly like the butterfly piece of shit that has plagued the existence of my MBP. It has also pointed up to me that the minimum MBA configuration has gone or shortly will go over $1000. So, I may need to pull the trigger on either a Neo or MBA M4/256 sooner than later.
  7. When's the WWE coming?
  8. A Keilan Robinson or DJ Monroe role, perhaps?
  9. Do you think the US was somehow frozen out of the market? Or maybe its because Lloyds has provided the vast majority of shipping insurance to the western world for centuries. And whether the US was providing protection or someone else, or no one at all, that's just a risk factor. If you want to be pissed at someone, be pissed at oil companies, brokers, and shippers. They're the ones that benefitted from US protection, not insurers.
  10. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattrandolph/2025/12/18/the-truth-about-the-strategic-petroleum-reserve/ I'll say otherwise. Start a conflict that causes an oil shortage and tap SPR to stabilize prices. Russia starts a conflict that causes an oil shortage and tap SPR to stabilize prices. Regardless, Congress has to consent.
  11. Yuuuup.
  12. More desperate shit to keep the price of oil down. DFC is supposed to be a soft-power initiative for low and middle income countries. The insurance needs in the Gulf are in excess of $350B.

    Because his hair is a superfund site.
  14. Well . . . if your rigs touch . . . .
  15. Apart from the eschatology stuff, I don't think the US will ever tell Israel they have no right to exist. We were too instrumental in their existence. The issue is whether we continue to fund their militarism and brutality.
  16. You can't really avoid politics when discussing oil, especially when current political events are spiking the price.
  17. It's mostly for export. The Indian investor has agreed to purchase substantial quantities. Also, this has been in the works for a couple of years. https://www.turbomachinerymag.com/view/element-fuels-completes-prep-pre-construction-for-hydrogen-refinery-power-plant And is a fourth try for the CEO guy, including one bankrupt startup. https://energynow.com/2024/06/texas-startup-hopes-4th-times-a-charm-to-build-first-big-u-s-oil-refinery-since-1977/ Comically, Element Fuels has re-branded itself America First Refining. And the deal is being advised by top energy investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald.
  18. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:cnpe7qvcyjrhm6w7w7e4atur/post/3mgrzjgo7ak2qThis could go so many places. One of the comments: "She's misfiring like an old Gremlin."
  19. Well, now that these fuckers can get cities and counties and tax districts to pay for the goddamn things, we need a new one every 10-15 years.
  20. Also, that would be a fucking horrible location for an arena. I suppose there's enough underutilized buildings around to demo for parking, but what a fucking zoo that would be compared to the edge locations of the Convention Center, Reunion, and AA.
  21. Also, we need to get Jim on substack or something.
  22. For backstory, for those not in Dallas or paying attention. In recent months, the issue of renovating the IM Pei designed City Hall, that is a very unique structure featured in Robocop, has come to the fore. Previously unmentioned is the deplorable state of the building (hard to believe unless the City has been fucking off maintenance, which is possible to likely). This allegedly necessitates an astonishing repair bill of hundreds of millions to billions of dollars, making it seem feasible or more feasible to just move. But the origins of the estimate and it's bona fides are murky, apparently even to council members, let alone citizens. The whole thing stunk to high heaven and now we know why.
  23. Oui oui. Hinky dinky parlez vous. Apocryphal story, but horizon bleu was chosen for their uniforms on the notion that one of their most vulnerable points was cresting a ridge when they would be silhouetted against the sky. If the sky was blue. And what about the rest of the time?
  24. I say give them a 9mm Browning and a shit ton of ammo. And start blowing hair.
