I think it’s actually the other way around: most refineries in the us are set up for heavy, sour oil, while the us extracts light, sweet oil. This also means that there’s zero incentive to build refineries that can process american oil since the oil companies make more money selling the light, sweet crude on the international market and buying the cheaper heavy and sour crude to process for domestic consumption

I think they hit it while it was on the ground at prince sultan airbase, still very impressive though

(Side note: is ‘prince sultan’ weird to anyone else? It’s like saying ‘prince king airbase’ I had to double check that that is what it’s called)

Does anyone have a link that doesn’t require a youtube account?

No one is saying that the report made the us government do anything, just that it’s evidence of the long-held goals of the us foreign policy establishment

Edit: like yeah, think tanks like this produce reports for other countries all the time and it doesn’t mean anything because they’re just saying what they wish the country in question would do, but in this case we are actually interested in what the us ruling class wants the us to do

Why is mr clean shirtless and juggling

No they’re a blue one lmao gottem

Ok but like, if they were ambush predators wouldn’t the eponymous spines stand out and alert their prey? How did they hide them?

Idk, I used to begrudgingly think that cybertrucks did at least look kinda cool and fun, but it turns out they’re much more ugly in person

Does anyone have a source that goes more in depth about what actually happened? Like the article mentions he had a heart attack but presumably a surgeon wouldn’t have their licence suspended just because a patient happened to have a heart attack. Was the patient at risk for heart attacks and the surgeon ignored just it? Did they fuck up the response to the heart attack?

nextdns has an app on the ios app store that works

Edit: apple is actually pretty decent on system level addblockers since they hurt google’s business not theirs

Google and apple? Absolutely zero chance of him doing that on his own. They each have a market capitalization of almost $4 trillion, and even though he’d only have to buy 51% of them that’s still way more than his net worth. And that’s not getting into how most of his wealth is in the form of tesla stock, which he can’t sell to much of without tanking the stock price. Plus corporations have ways to stop people who are trying to buy them out if they don’t want to be sold, like even though twitter was a publicly traded company musk still had to negotiate a deal with twitter’s management

He might be able to buy a significant portion of one or both companies stocks and then be able to vote for board members and stuff and try to gain influence that way, but that’s not the same as owning a controlling stake in the company, and frankly I don’t see him politically out manoeuvring alphabet or apple’s existing boards of directors

Even assuming they give him a real trial, I don’t think this is going to change anything. All this means is that if they’ve interrogated before now him they can’t admit anything he said as evidence

In light of irregularities surrounding corina machado’s nobel a new acting leader of the venezuelan opposition has been declared

I think congress already preemptively authorized military action against venezuela (with the democrats’ support of course) Edit: looking it up technically it was a resolution to tell trump not to use military force in venezuela without prior authorization and they couldn’t be bothered to move it out of committee

True, but having the subtitles be what the character is saying but untranslated is different from just saying “[speaking norwegian]”

Oman too. Like I know they’re not as much of an oil producer as the other gulf states but they do still have a lot of oil and yet you never hear about them trying to exert influence

The report said You was wearing an eye patch on his right eye as well as a black vest

Tacticool ppe

American president does something american in america

Americans: “what are we, a bunch of homosexuals?”

Was this vessel also flying (edit: sailing ) under a false flag? IIRC that was the us’ excuse for the last one
