Is this what has caused an abundance of rain in my area?

Time to put grandma in a home

Just another day in America. It’s fine. We’ve done nothing and we’re all out of ideas.

It’s as much profits as it is ability to produce. All the tier one stuff is about tapped out. Wells decline by X percent per year which mean we have to drill new wells just to keep the production curve flat, let alone make it rise. There is a lack of drilling equipment designed to reach the less accessible stuff. There is a lack of drilling manpower to power the equipment. It’s as much to do with profitability as it is ability to chase it.

Seeing Bryan Cranston go from a goofy dope of a dad to an unhinged violent drug dealer was quite the tone shift. That’s how it was for me. I was a pretty big MITM watcher way back when, the channel it played on was one of the only ones I could receive with an antenna.

Reading this thread over, you’re the one who comes across as the person with a problem. You’re quite combative for zero reason. Be less like how you’re being in this thread.

Go outside and ride your bike. What’s your problem?

That’s why I’m wondering about tying in to a midstream processor at a pump station somewhere. I’m not sure if you’re familiar w how natural gas is sent everywhere, but in as few words as possible, gas is produced at the well site, captured, cleaned up, and then injected into a very large gas pipeline at 1,000psi. It is then pumped along interstate and intrastate underground lines at high pressure. Every so often a midstream processor takes the gas, repressurizes it and sends it further downstream. That gets pushed to city/town/local jurisdiction, then stepped down to industrial pressures ranging from 10psi to several hundred psi depending on who uses it.

If they are at ‘district pressure’ Which is maybe 10-50 psi, then they are sharing a branch line with others in said district. Check valves are certainly in place but depending on layout they could be sharing with other industrial users. Or, if they need higher than what the local jurisdiction can provide they might be tapped into a midstream line, and have their own regulating equipment to step it down to whatever is needed. Or maybe they are on their own dedicated propane battery. Propane is more combustible than NG so it’s possible they’re using propane.

I really am curious from a technical standpoint how it was done. I’d enjoy roaming around and looking at the gas equipment. I’m licensed in Tx to work w natural gasses so it’s a bit of an overlap between work curious and personally curious.

Jet engines

We should take the engines, bolt them all to the ground pointing the same direction, and turn them on all at once to see if we can make the earth turn faster. Sorta like the fireworks that spin and launch themselves into the sky, but with the earth instead.

Before anyone says it’ll fuck the planet up I’d argue we are doing a pretty good job at that as it is. What can it hurt?

Also, I can help but wonder what those jet engines powering up does to the neighboring homes gas pressure? I’ll bet when they fire up it snuffs out pilot lights and burners all over the shared system. They aren’t generating their own fuel so it’s coming from somewhere. Maybe at a midstream processor somewhere before it gets to there. I’d like to see an intrastate gas network map and compare it to where this place sits because those things probably draw several hundred million BTUs if not a billion. It makes me really wonder at the infrastructure needed to handle it all and how much of a burden it places on residents nearby.

Baby formula being 97 bucks, whether CAD or USD sounds a bit much, but my kids were babbies back In the 2010’s so it has probably gone up even further. I know some of the specialty stuff is absurdly priced, babies w sensitive stomach, special nutritional needs etc. My daughter was on formula that was around $30 a canister if I remember right. I knew folks that would boost formula and sell it. If I had anything left on WIC or SNAP when I used to receive them I would buy formula and sell it to people who needed it.

Also:

Title of article, first two words are ‘Self Checkout’. Then there’s this:

Just last August, in Windsor, Ont. more than $220,000 worth of beef was stolen from a parked tractor trailer. The large-scale heist is another example of lucrative grocery crimes on the rise.

What the fuck does theft of beer from a reefer trailer have to do with the self checkout.

that’s like halfway up the Rio Grande. Lol. It isn’t the first, it’s probably just the first found. If it was being kept at bay all the way down in Panama, and has moved north to the point where it’s passed the southernmost point of Texas and is entering along the western border (sorta) I wonder if it is already in the southern tip of Texas just waiting to be found. I have a hard time fathoming the screw worm making a hard right and only entering the state from the left border.

Despite my feelings about animal welfare, the US beef industry is already at its lowest herd levels since the mid 1950s. This is going to cause serious issues to folks in the beef industry. I’m working at the King Ranch, which is a big deal wrt to cattle (Santa Gertrudis) and it is now having to work up plans on how to deal with screwworm. Incidentally, the ranch foreman believes that the recent turnaround in rain amounts is due to Presinald Trunt seeding clouds and not telling anyone. I’d love to see the foreman end up with a screwworm infestation up his ass.

I wonder if his mom used his first and second names when she was mad at him. *Get yore ass over here Loony John, don’t make me come over there’

lol he had it in him To either be corrupt or be sexy guess what he chose.

That’s what people get for using meta products don’t @ me

wtf orderly bedtimes in shambles. thanks obama.
