@Redheadedgammy We would get the daily intelligence briefings, plus all the news input. The Soviets were extremely interested in anything that would weaken us. Almost every time there was a new revelation, they would run penetration checks, testing our defenses. When Nixon finally did resign, we were on alert, Pres Ford had been fully briefed on his options in case of attack and we sweated until the Soviets stood down after President Ford had taken office.

@puff Having grown up in the oil patch (SW La and SE Tex) I know a lot about petrochemicals, drilling, refining and fracking. Chemical fracking was illegal in most states prior to the 1973 oil embargo, prior to that they used almost exclusively HE for completion. Slant drilling, now a common practice, was also illegal. We still vent criminal amounts of methane into atmosphere.

@puff crude oil is graded on a sliding scale that depends on a multitude of factors. Shale oil is not a single type of oil, you are probably referring to tar sands oil which contains a large amount of sand and pitch. Shale oil ranges from natural gas to pitch and everything in between. The vast amount that has been recovered thus far is methane, a very high quality feeder stock.

glennlab replies on May 15, 2022:

@NHjulie It would take an act of congress to take away their subsidies. The oil companies have been fighting government regulation since the 1880s and winning the long battle. We are looking at a few home grown companies and a multitude of foreign firms (Shell, BP, Pemex, Opec). A lowering of sanctions on Venezuelan oil would alleviate all the crude needs for the Americas as would removing the Iranian sanctions meet the needs of Europe. It would have the added benefit of removing the Russian oil demands from the market. One of the problems is that we are in the normal shut down cycle for most refineries to convert to summertime fuel mixes. The refineries' PR people are good, with over 140 years of bamboozeling the public and bribing congressmembers, state governments, and regulators in general.

Mooolah comments on May 12, 2022:

Some usually die after flowering so enjoy it. The bloom might attract bats or moths at night, so get the infrared camera filter ready.

glennlab replies on May 12, 2022:

@Redheadedgammy It depends on particular type, how well it is cared for and general luck. I had one in my front yard that would bloom about every 3 years. Someone ran over it in the middle of the night and ended it.

Sometimes it's best to just stay silent.

If she had treble hooks for earrings, it would be a perfect match.

Fun fact.

Nobody has the right to tell me what to do with my body.

I really wish more people understood this.

@duchessa1 I was agreeing with you, but also pointing out that religion wasn't the only cause.

Big mask good, small mask bad? huh?

CourtJester comments on May 11, 2022:

Democrats love their masks today just as much as they did 60 years ago apparently.

glennlab replies on May 12, 2022:

@CourtJester from Goldwater, to Nixon, to Reagan to GHWB to shrub, they were all racist and traded on it for their entire career. The party of racist is the GOP period. Not one returned to the democratic party, you are just delusional denying your own racism.

Pretty sure you're not doing it right if you're licking stubble

glennlab replies on May 12, 2022:

@BDair I envy you, I was brought up in the midst of the KKK, I had/have relatives that were/are members. It is a sensitive topic when I find a sympathizer. I did not enjoy wearing a mask, but I did see the benefit. It protected me from spreading the virus if I had it to others, and if they were wearing it, it protected me from catching it from them. nearly every case of mask mandates were locally imposed by locally elected officials looking out for the local citizens. The exception being mass transit and interstate travel by aircraft and train.

Their just aren't simple answers to complex questions no matte what you would like to believe

We all need to remember, tho, that half the people, logically, have IQs below 100 or average. They aren't as smart as most of us, as it appears that most people on Agnostic appear to be above average in intelligence, at least in my eyes, even most of the assholes on here. So no wonder we all feel ...

as someone who has consistanyly tested in the top .2 %, you are so right

@duchessa1 We have several on this site, it is not just religion, it is misogyny. A loathing for women and wanting to keep them in their place.

While out on a walk this morning I came across this huge yuca.

@Redheadedgammy they are related, as is the joshua tree, part of the asparagus family they are both part of the subfamily agava https://www.britannica.com/plant/yucca

Maybe this will explain it .

glennlab replies on May 11, 2022:

@Alienbeing I won't get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man, check you 10th grade biology textbook. Since you and I cannot even agree on a definition of terms, and yours go against the defined science, this discussion is over.

Maybe this will explain it .

You're right. The ones on the bottom are showing care and compassion for the safety of others, while the ones on top are murderous thugs that want to keep their boots on the necks of the oppressed.

Is this too direct? Asking for a friend.

Garban comments on May 11, 2022:

If it works, you may want to use a Kevlar condom.

glennlab replies on May 11, 2022:

You mean my friend might want to wear a kevlar condom?

It would save a lot of meaningless small talk.

Deb57 comments on May 11, 2022:

Easy to do. Instead of small talk, disagree with them about something. A person's reaction when you disappoint them, or take an opposing position to theirs, will tell you volumes about their temperament and their character.

glennlab replies on May 11, 2022:

the ability to disagree without being disagreeable is a major plus.

They really know how to party.

I was thinking of posting in the science group. Most have no idea that many fish lay their eggs along the tide lines that are exposed during low tides.

glennlab replies on May 11, 2022:

@Alienbeing cell division in a species is not reproduction, you need to go back to biology class, you failed the definition of terms. reproduction involves the wholesale replication of the species not individual cells dividing. By your definition infanticide would be legal until around the age of 2.

Maybe this will explain it .

none of the examples have the capacity to reproduce one in their current form one of the hallmarks of life, they are in fact only reproductions until they can survive on their own. and functional activity
