Someone needs to ask Kev about the state of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve... Because it ain't looking happy:
This is why Iran's strategy is time... The US SPR is drawing down ~10M BBL/week. It can keep doing so for ~30 more weeks. China's is unknown but probably the same.
How bad is it for folks in DC? On the 4th of July I visited Chichen Itza, on the Yucatan peninsula, in the middle of the jungle. Miserably hot, full sun, 95 F and humid. And yet still better than DC's weather that day.
Your occasional reminder: With Situation NACHO still ongoing, the US is draining the SPR at ~10M barrels/week. At this rate it hits literal 0 in another 30 weeks.
Of course, the DPRK-denial strategy is going to hit a brick wall soon: The strait is not open, oil inventories continue to decline, and the only strait Trump can secure is the strait of warm ooze.
@chriswarcraft.bsky.social Congratulations Now for the hard part, the general election....
Not having the capitalism tax and the burn-down-the-state tax is huge:
This particular AI-sloplitude is amazing: It is even less sensible than the renderings of the "Trump Class" battleships. I love the quadcopter-fixed-wings with vertical stabilizers on both the "front" and "back"
This is real: xcancel.com/GregoryKBovi... No doubt if asked it will be somehow "ironic" but law of goats applies: If you fuck a goat ironically, you are still a goatfucker. And Bovino is a goatfucking nazi.
Oh boy, they get the acts that couldn't get booking at the local Indian casino and they still have the acts back out! (Then again, the local Indian casino has Bob Dylan show up:)
Am I the only one surprised that the mockup serial # is PT45474547DT1 and not PT14884547DT1?
Oh, and Pattie Gonia's email sig says she/he/they as preferred pronouns.
It is unfortunately how trademark law actually works: You have to vigorously defend your trademarks or you lose them completely, especially where there is possibility of confusion. Failing to vigorously defend against Pattie Gonia's infringement and they no longer can stop the next petrogonia
Indeed, anyone who's been in both an Ionic 5 and a Model 3 will tell you that the Hyundai beats the Tesla like a Anthony Joshua boxer beats Jake Paul.
