I wonder how long companies like Chevron can turn it around since it's been almost 20 years. A quick search showed 800k barrels of oil exported per day in 2024. The Motiva refinery in TX refines 600k plus barrels a day (the largest refinery but still only one refinery). A lot of upgrading needs...

Not really an invention but a marketing idea. I was told by the salesman it was a terrible idea, I think I was right. When shopping for a new bass boat you go to a dealer and they have you get in the boat to show you how large the front deck is, called a flipping deck. Normally the owner fishes...

Yes and no. I know what I have now. Other than the diabetes which I have never had much issue with keeping my A1C in the 5s which is borderline non diabetic/pre diabetic. The other stuff is normally treated with corticosteroids, which raises my blood sugar. The doctor that referred me to the...

Guys that work in the maintenance shop at Exxon are all blue collar workers. Welding, fitting, burning, etc...It's air conditioned and you have a job for life if you don't fail a drug test or punch out a coworker. My friend in school his dad was a boiler maker there and he sent his kid to...

A "welder" that is making $48k a year is known as a "tacker", not a welder. I know a pipeline welder that paid off his house in 5 years then got married and had kids. Note, married after he paid off the house lol. I know the placed I worked a decade ago their welders that could do high nickel...

Don't think I ever said what my final diagnosis was. MAC. Multiple Autoimmune Condition. They have a chart, type 1,2, or 3. I have several from 2 and 3. Diabetes near all my life but the others all at once. Doctors at the mayo says it just happens. They have an auto immune clinic there. Type 1...

I think states take control of certain assets that have been abondened or idle for a certain period. But at least in the states I have lived in once a year they publish the names of all the people that need to claim whatever. A few years ago I was on the list and got a final check that I think I...

Tell me this isn't sad. D4 made such an impression I had to download battle.net to see if I had ever bought it. I did lol.

I give it another day or I'm going to have to get off the amitriptyline. It is working I guess. I j ust sit here not thinking of anything. Of course that's when I am awake. 5 days and still in the sleep all night and all day mode. I don't get stuck thinking about the future with MAS as it is...

I use a 5070ti. I have a 5060 and 5060ti that were barely used. Also a 3060ti. I should get motivated to unload them just like the memory I have. I thought I would keep one in case my card goes tits up. I've never sold anything on ebay and facebook marketplace really doesn't exist here.

I saw my niece at Christmas, it's still up in the air. It's in a very small town that also has a directional college (it may be adjacent I can't remember). But 3+ hours away from home and they wouldn't know anyone which is the complaint her son had about it. Especially the first year he wouldn't...

I tried amitriptyline in the past and could not take it all. Drs. are big on it and others that are anti depressent and help with nerve pain. So I decided to try it again. It's much different this time, no idea why. I hope after taking it for a while the sleeping 20 hours a day go away. Doctor...

Everything takes memory nowdays from the coffee maker onwards. Memory makes are going to pivot to whatever pays the most. But for the low low cost of whatever $$ per month you can lease computer time.
