Y-Grade is the mixture of Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) that are removed in a Gas Processing Plant. The processing plants are located proximate to the wells producing the gas (West Texas for example), and the recovered NGL are transported via pipelines to the fractionation plants (FRACTIONal + distillATION = FRACTIONATION) where the the multi-component Y-Grade stream is separated into the 5 "purity products" (these are some of the tall towers you see in petrochemical complexes). Mont Belvieu, TX, north of Baytown, is the largest concentration of NGL fractionation plants and underground storage of NGL's in the world, with a small cartel of midstream companies with fractionation plants that include hundreds of underground storage caverns. The underground caverns are created by "solution mining" tear-drop shaped caverns (cavities) out of huge underground "salt plugs". A cavern a nominal, 2,000 foot deep, 1,000 feet tall, 100-200 ft in diameter cavity holding ~ 1,000,000 barrels, or 50,000,000 gallons of product. Envision downtown Houston, turned upside down so the tall buildings extend into the ground, and now fill all those deep depressions full of flammable hydrocarbons. Hundreds of gas processing plants transport NGL from across the country through multiple pipelines to the various fractionation facilities along the Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi to Mississippi, where hundreds of more pipelines connect to the various refineries and petrochemical plants along the coast. Each pipeline will a series of block valves along the route, with the number and locations of valves dependent on a number of factors. Whether the pipelines are privately owned or common carrier pipelines, they are all governed by government and industry standards that allow them function properly every day, without any discernible impact to the general public. "Nothing is fool proof, because fools are so ingenious." Apparently a motor vehicle hit one of those above ground block valve locations near Deer Park. Yes, once the pipeline is breached, all you can do is isolate the section with the breach. If the product in normally a vapor at room temperature and pressure, it will vent until all the high pressure liquids have vaporized and dissipated naturally, or it finds an ignition source. If the product is normally a liquid at room temperature and pressure, it will leak until the leak is repaired or until all the leak stops flowing. It will take a long time for a Y-grade NGL pipeline to completely vaporize, as the heavier fractions have similar characteristics to gasoline and vaporize slowly. Once the area is evacuated, letting the pipeline burn out is the safest option, because it won't explode. Fuck the EPA. Natural Gas Liquids are the last place you want a EPA bureaucrat involved. NGL industry pipelines operate under the umbrella of the Department of Transportation and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Whether the pipelines are privately owned or common carrier pipelines, they are built and operated to government standards and Industry guidelines, including the Gas Processors Association. The GPA is an industry led group that has been a forum for sharing best practices for over 100 years ... Enhancing the viability of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil Shaping the U.S. midstream energy sector since 1921, GPA Midstream sets standards for natural gas liquids; develops simple and reproducible test methods to define the industry’s raw materials and products; manages a worldwide cooperative research program; provides a voice for our industry on Capitol Hill; and is the go-to resource for technical reports and publications. The annual GPA Midstream Convention is the premiere meeting place for midstream professionals from around the globe. Please, don't ever confuse a real Midstream company with a refinery or chemical plant, or an exploration and production company, or for god's sake, a utility. Every day, trained and experienced personnel take the most volatile hydrocarbon products known to man, boost it to a pressure high enough that a leak would cut you half, and for good measure, put it in large steel tanks, and add heat. They work alongside 25,000 HP gas turbines every day, that have jet engines on one side of a shaft connected to a compressor that boosts 250,000,000 FT3 of gas per day to pressures exceeding 1,000 pounds per square inch. Everything is mechanical, and eventually, if not maintained properly, it will break. Our job is never so important that we cannot take the time to do it safely. If I don't have the time to do it right the first time, when will I have the time to fix it. We're a technical company, so technical people are going to run it. Sorry guys, this for the adults for which math makes your heart go pitter-patter. The valve stations and other above facilities are usually protected by chain link fences, to keep people out, or steel pipes filled with concrete, to keep bigger things out. A barrier built to protect from a tractor with a blade may not stop a bull dozer, or an SUV. Odds are the pipeline and other facilities were built well before the Wal-Mart. There is ample evidence that ignorant (lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing) people will make statements of fact without knowing the facts. I would expect the company shared the pertinent information with law enforcement, fire departments, etc. Those governmental entities would have the responsibilities to share information with those directly impacted by the incident, and with the general public as deemed appropriate. There is nothing that is beneficial with sharing unconfirmed information or theories with reporters and PI attorneys. Go look at the "Green Belt" in your neighborhood. Odds are it is a pipeline right of way, laser straight with well defined inflection points. And those neighbors paid a premium to live next to it! The pipelines have beneficial use of the right of ways on the land they traverse, by virtue of legal documents agreed to by the landowner and the operating company. Maintenance of the right of way, and everything on it, is the responsibility of the operating company. The operating companies have no rights or responsibilities for anything outside of the right of way. Most of the pipelines and related facilities were built away from population centers many years ago. They were built to the standards at the time construction, including limitations on the maximum allowable operating pressures relative to the population density at that time. As the cities have expanded, they have encroached on that pre-existing infrastructure. Relocating and rerouting pipelines happens occasionally, but that is not the norm. A cultivated field that had corn or wheat for 50 years is now a subdivision with streets and roads and houses and driveways and swimming pools and water lines and power lines. Whether you agree or not, in my example, the financial burden to remedy the situation lies with the developer and the government entity that approved the encroachment. Whether you agree or not, there are practical limits as to what could and should be done, on a case by case basis, including relocating the pipeline. There were over 40,000 auto related fatalities in 2023. Every entity in government and civil society with a means to change that has accepted that fatalities are unavoidable, and acceptable. We could not afford to drive cars, or fly airplanes, that are 100% "safe." You want safe and protective measures? What is the probability that a titanium blade on a steam turbine spinning at 4,000 rpm could break off, penetrate the turbine shell, penetrate the turbine building, fly 1,000's of feet, and penetrate a 4 1/2 foot thick reinforced-concrete secondary containment building (build with a lattice of ~ 15 layers of 2' steel rebar), penetrate a 2 foot thick reinforced-concrete primary containment building, and penetrate a 14" thick steel nuclear reactor vessel? I don't know either, but the Nuclear Regulatory Commission thought is was high enough that the orientation of the turbines should be turned 90 degrees relative to the nuclear reactor. I guess they were right because it's never happened.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
PTINS replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
That chicken shit time out before halftime pissed me off. Texas was content to not call a time out and let the half end, and UTSA calls time out with 2 seconds left. Texas is in a deep drop prevent defense on 3rd & 14?, UTSA runs the ball for a decent gain just to pad their stats. I thought, lets hang 50 or 60 on those fuckers. -
That's some funny shit!!!

Yes, it's still there. And no, nothings better. Ninfa's is the first place I ate green sauce for chip's, Taco's Al Carbon, Shrimp Mariscos, or Queso Flameado, and I'm an old MF. The Ninfarita ushered in a new era of Margarita's, back in the day when everyone had a drank for lunch. I moved to Houston in 1980 and my mother and Aunt came to visit from Austin. Ninfa's blew them away. Nuff said, for me. I'm one of the guys that goes to Ninfa's and gets the same thing every time, especially now that I'm back in Austin. I drove to the Sugar Bowl for the express purpose of eating at Ninfa's on Navigation, and some cajun food in Lafayette. After eating this at 11 in the morning, I couldn't think about food til I got to New Orleans.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
PTINS replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
If you are here, there is not a better feeling in the world then going through life with Texas ranked #1 in College Football. Imagine going through your life, day after day, some good, some bad. Around dusk, when the skies darken and the air cools, you look towards that place of happier days gone by, and what do you see; If that doesn't make you feel better, sorry, can't do anything for you, get the fuck outta here! TLDR... FIFY. (See below you PWBC's) Oh, how I wish that was true. So many panty waist, beta 'cucks on here it is embarrassing. That includes all you "Seven win Steve!" Motherfuckers!!! A bit of my personal history, give me some rope here. Born in Austin, at Bergstrom AFB, 8th generation Texan (parents from Pflugerville & Bastrop), 1st generation college graduate, UT-Austin. My older siblings were born in Illinois. First FB game I saw on TV was the '65 Orange Bowl, #5 Texas v. #1 Alabama. We lived at Eglin AFB in the Florida Panhandle, surrounded by Alabama fans. I remember my mother telling me I was special, "... because you were born in Texas". Don't remember if it was just once, or all the time; it didn't matter, I ALWAYS remember that. We moved back to Texas in 1966, saw the Batman World Premier at the Paramount, saw Charles Whitman forever change the world. ,. The Austin Aqua Festival, with the Thunderbirds (The planes, not the band), drag boat racing on Town Lake (6 second 1.4 mile), motor cycle racing on the city streets, was the premier entertainment festival in the world. Austin was a magical place to live in, and I went though my early teens without ever see Texas lose a football game, in the midst of their 30 game winning streak, all while ranked #1 ("Who's Ohio State?"). Fast forward to 1974, Earl and I are freshmen, OU has a their own 28 game winning streak, winning 2 National Championships in '74 & '75, and beating Texas 5 times in a row, tying 6-6 in 1976 (We had the seats next to 36, 000 Okies, tight on the 5O yard line). DKR retires, Fred scraps the wishbone and puts Earl in the "i". Boom!!! Texas climbs in the polls to #5, beats #2 Oklahoma 13-6 on Earls TD scamper right before halftime*, beats #8 Arkansas (Earl becomes the Heisman favorite), and when Michigan loses, Texas vaults to the #1 ranking. Austin is electric, and over a few weeks, UT blacks out the Tower windows to form the #1, which graces the skyline each Saturday win. They also lit the Tower for Earl winning the Heisman Trophy, for Texas Professor Ilya Prigogine winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, when UT acquired the Gutenberg Bible, and when UT acquired their 4,000,000th book. IIRC, the Tower was bathed in Orange, with the iconic #1, continuously from Thanksgiving til the Cotton Bowl. Having Texas ranked #1 for over 2 months gives one a special feeling. Reading and hearing #1 Texas every time they mention college football can't help but make you good, and proud. I think today, with social media, with the internet, with the elevated importance of recruiting, Texas having the #1 ranking is nothing but a good thing. It's not like we aren't a big target already. The full might of the Texas media machine will be unleashed. Every football media show will start with talk about Texas. Every football recruit will thank about Texas. Being the best, and wearing that label of being the best, proudly, every day, because you earned it, feels pretty damn special. Try it on and see how it fits.- 4434 replies

I also have not read a lot about this, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn a few times… I would question what maintenance Russia has done in the last 20-40 years, and what exactly they are maintaining. What maintenance has been done? Ballistic missiles have either solid fuel boosters or liquid fuel boosters; the space shuttle used both. Short range missiles (300-1,000 km?) need less fuel, which favors a solid fuel booster. Once ignited, they burn full throttle until they burn out. I imagine the solid fuel is relatively stable, but I also would think it has a finite shelf life. Have Russian nukes had their solid fuels replaced in the last 20-40 years? Do they still make the fuels and rockets? I’d take the under, not the over. One advantage of the solid fuel missiles is they are ready to launch on short notice. Long range missiles (1,000+ km) require multiple stages, with disposal of the stages as they burn out. Much more complicated with exponentially more things that can go wrong and not work properly. The liquid fuel rockets have separate fuel and oxidizer tanks, that are mixed during flight, with control over the combustion rates. I recall that fueling the rockets is extremely hazardous (No Smoking!), extremely flammable fuel, as any leaks are immediately exposed to oxygen, and ... big badda boom. Same questions exist on the shelf life of the fuel? Is this what was in the tanks at Proletarsk? IMO, the longer range liquid fuel missiles would be less reliable than the shorter range solid fuel missiles, but they have more control, I think. No idea of the fuel compositions, characteristics, manufacturing processed, storage temperatures and pressures, etc., but It's one of the most volatile compounds known and I would not want to be anywhere near it. Is this what was in the tanks at Proletarsk, where so many firefighters were injured? As loading the fuel is something that happens right before launch, it requires that skilled engineers and /or technicians (rocket scientists) are at the ready to do their deeds when called upon. Are these skilled people still in Russia, or did they leave for something else? Jared Cohen : So, you're a rocket scientist. Peter Sullivan : I was, yeah. Jared Cohen : Interesting. How did you end up here? Peter Sullivan : Well, it's all just numbers really. Just changing what you're adding up. And, to speak freely, the money here is considerably more attractive. If they stayed in Russia, they were probably KIA in Kharkiv or Kherson a year ago, like a lot of the other skilled professionals. Is Putin or his lackeys going to send some fat, drunk & stupid conscript with 2 weeks of training to do it? Good luck with that. What are they maintaining? Some of these system predate widespread GPS systems. Did Russia go back and upgrade the guidance systems, electronics, etc.? Even then, in 2024, Russia has demonstrated on a continuous basis that they cannot hit the broad side of a barn door a barn, or a specific target. Morton Thiokol knew the limitations of their solid fuel rockets and still couldn't convince NASA to wait. Any chance the Russia equivalent of Thiokol even exists, or knows those limitations, and what chance would they have in telling Putin to wait? With that said, regardless of condition of so many weapons, statistically, a few would find their targets, or something worse. The boss is always the boss, and a guy with nukes is always a guy with nukes.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: The Land of Melk & No Money
PTINS replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Thanks for the summary. I was wondering why we saw an actual injury report. It’s hard to fathom that in 2024 they still believe that if they can hide information and blur the truth and intentionally mislead their minions and believe all is well, knowing they have an actual football game with a live audience and camera’s, and the ugly truth will be revealed, and that is okay. “We're better off just telling the truth.“ Well, until last year, every-fucking-body told us to stay away from red meat, cheese, shellfish and other foods with cholesterol, because eating them would raise our cholesterol. My doctor told me a few months ago I’m better off eating a steak and salad every day and to quit eating bread and flour tortilla’s later in the day, when my activity levels drop. Yeah, aggy gonna aggy. Let’s fatten ‘em and we can practice getting faster. -
Thanks!!! That ship sailed, but I know where the dock is. This was a fun trip. Great game. Perfect weather, 40’s in September. I Everywhere I went, people walked up and engaged in conversation. Kinda. Some flashed a Horns down, I suggested they weren’t doing it correctly, and we started talking. Detroit was fun, rightfully proud of its past, with a rich sports history, gambling, and legal weed. Henry Ford was a great man, and a great benefactor. Brought housing and education to the masses. Gave the schools tickets to the symphony, and the arts. Education + Church choir + the musical arts = Motown, the Motor City Madman (I saw Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes at the Armadillo), We Want Grand Funk! ( Sam Houston Coliseum, I think).

The Big House - Best Venue to Experience a College Football Game. No arguments. i've been waiting to see a game in Ann Arbor for 45 years. Rarely in life does the reality exceed the expectation. Cherish it when it happens. (Kicking their ass right out of the gate certainly helped.) My hosts gave me their UM parking pass on campus, and I walked down frat/sorority row to the tailgate. The boys in groups, behind the fences, were rowdy, but tame. Lots of good natured trash talking, and lots of girls in boots and skirts. Guess that is a more universal thing now. Other than "Michigan" sprinkled in a few places, the scoreboard was the only "advertising" in the stadium. Nothing resembling a 360 degree facade with as many words and numbers as it takes to fill the space. Simplicity of design --> compact, but not crowded -- > Not a bad seat in the house (How would I know? I only had 1 seat). There were a lot of Texas fans there, all over the place. I saw Texas people everywhere I went for 5 days. The amount of Burnt Orange was masked by the home crowd in Maize. Blue and Orange would have made a great contrast, but Michigan has some smart people. You could clearly see their student section. The tunnels are at ground level, with the field ~ 50 rows below. Left my seat, walked up 10 rows, through the tunnel, concessions to the right, bathrooms on the left (long lines for mens, no lines for women, WTF?), This is the first game they started selling beer. Beer line in my area mid 3rd quarter, before they ran out. Every body in line was from Texas. The little caboose in the white boots ... was a stark contrast to the 7,000 HP Steam Locomotive at The Henry Ford Museum. 1, x. You're just gonna have to take my word. I took her picture with her camera, and she took my picture with mine. Dumb ass!!! @immamac , you Fucking Rock!!! Tailgate was off the charts. Good time!!! I went to the adjacent Michigan tailgate when I saw the open liquor table in the middle. Hannah was a Michigan 10, (Surly 9, she was with her Michigan boyfriend), tan legs for miles. I tried to pace myself, still had 3 beers and 3 whiskeys, before the game. Tailgate pig.MP4 Ann Arbor reminded of the Austin I grew up in; everybody was in town for the football game. Texas fans and friendly people everywhere. Met a lot of cuties 😋... and later, their boyfriends and husbands 🙁. Michigan Stadium in the background, behind the scoreboard. You know how to get a smile like that after 3 hours of getting your spirit crushed? Motown Musuem. Already knew the story, just had to see the Icon. (HBO's "Hitsville: The Making of Motown" is a must watch for anybody who likes music.) More Henry Ford Museum. 1956 Thunderbird, my birth year. To summarize, visited Michigan*(45 down, 5 to go). got to sing The Eyes of Texas, in The Big House, after crushing the Defending National Champions ; legally acquired 1/2 oz. of "All Gas" Cannabis Flower from The Flower Bowl Dispensary ($21); toured The Henry Ford Museum (kinda like Mecca for Mechanical Engineers), the Motown Museum, not just timeless, great music, but a pivotable piece in the changing cultural fabric of the USA. * Interesting fact I learned in a bar at 1 am. There is no South Detroit (sorry Steve Perry). South of Detroit is the Detroit River, and Windsor, Canada.

According to Google maps, it's either a "Bicycle repair shop" with a 5* rating, or a "Packaging supply store." Must be some high-end bicycles, surrounded by a concrete wall topped with concertina razor wire. The tanks are behind the building, look to be fuel for the facility. No facilities for truck loading/unloading and no rail directly to the facility. Definitely flammable. Been offline for a while, more pressing things to deal with ...

Always like Rick. I lived in Boulder when he was there. His was perfect for Colorado, building a dynasty with Texas & California kids. Colorado ended Lectric-Leland's Heisman campaign and Top 5 A&M's dreams. Tragic when he left. He was funny when he talked about Troy Aikman transferring to UCLA. Rick was QB when Troy showed up; said he looked like Tarzan. Turf field should drain well. If there is any slippage, our WR's will toast the DB's. Agree 100%. I started drinking at 10 am in New Orleans, and was beyond fucked up walking to the game. Way to old to be doing that shit. Much shorter walk on Saturday. I think those days are over. The two pics against CSU showed awareness, athleticism, and closing speed. I agree. It's moving in that direction. Yeah, I think we're getting ready to see the mean streaks these guys have. I like see the IOL guys pulling against CSU. Thank you. Michigan have some studs, but not 11 of them, with a brand new DC and all the position coaches. No way their scout team has any correlation to Texas. FIFY. Quinn biggest problem is starting slow out of the gate. If he starts on rhythm with the scripted plays, game over. His call sign in Behind Enemy Lines was Longhorn. It was painted on the F-18.

Perhaps there was a glitch in the Matrix? Second to last play of the game, alternate reality Aggie down 10, wiggy scrambles and throws a lawn dart 5 yards behind their running back safety valve CW scrambles, gets out in the open, and throws the ball away to the open spot for the umpteenth time. Unfortunately, it was 5 yards behind the receiver. Elko has seen enough, and screams at CW, the QB, not Klein, the OC. Elko screams "run the fucking ball!" He is yelling at CW, the QB. Meaning, when you have an open field in front of you and the DB's are running away, you CW, the QB, needs to take what they're giving you and run the fucking ball. The disillusioned Klein, fearful of Elko charging at him like a rabid buffalo, mistakes Elko's "coaching" of CW for a "suggestion" to him that he call a running play on a last gasp 4th and long, which he does. They run it and game ends.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
PTINS replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Was CW ever "cleared" to take snap's with the 1's in practice? When? I wonder if his rare foot injury is still causing him to protect it, and that is why he threw the ball so poorly. Timing, footwork, arm, it all looked bad. Stewart, Scourton, and Turner all graded out at a 68.8 or better overall... How much better? Sweat & Murphy graded ~ 90 all year long. That's a pretty big gap. If A&M's best position group got neutralized to the point they needed safeties in the box to stop the run, that's a big red flag that puts a lot of pressure on the DB's that are nowhere near as talented. They got what everyone wished for and couldn't come through. Jimbo said it every week, just have to execute better. -
Thank you, thank you thank you. You Rock!

As always, follow the money. What US entities, industries or companies are behind the US position of slow playing support of Ukraine? Using NATO weapons without giving NATO a heads up on Ukraine's plans for deployment? Or is it just keeping the nukes under Russia control rather than risk losing them in a post-Putin free for all. US policy has always had a measure of an oil & gas slant, as worldwide oil production has a direct correlation to worldwide economies. Ukraine has not targeted Russia production, pipelines, or export capacity; just storage and refining, most of which is for internal demand, not export. Granted, there is big difference between a drone and a 1,000 lb warhead hitting a target. I get that raising US gasoline prices before the election would not be good (for the US), but a pullback in US support for Ukraine would be worse (for Ukraine). And, as I write these words, I answer my question. Our focus (posters on this thread) is Ukraine surviving as a sovereign nation. 95% of the people I know are oblivious to this war and could not have an intelligent back and forth conversation that lasted more than a couple of minutes. Sometimes, my Google News update starts with Ukraine info that is 3 days old. Is it News if you have to go look for it? Maybe growing up on nuclear targets proximate to 12,000 runways and retiring in the Hill Country gives a false sense of reality. Damn. Another Bingo! I guess I could blame my dad (RIP) for raising me on John Wayne movies and watching westerns growing up. (Did everybody grow up that way? I am one generation removed from the farm.) Nope. "...I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." - Thomas Jefferson "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free" - UT Tower, that I looked up to damn near every day for 5 years. Thanks for listening. I guess my therapy session is over.

We were walking along the RR tracks by South Lamar, and found some rail road spikes. We heard a train coming, and laid one on the tracks to see what would happen. "Hey, you little sons of bitc...

Speaking of Black Powder ... (Thanks for bring it up.) As an Assistant Scoutmaster at Camp Pioneer (BSA - Arkansas), I participated in the Mountain Man program; cooking, eating, throwing a hatchet, making fires, candles and 50 Cal musket balls, and shooting the musket balls at a target. Due to SM role, I was late to the shooting competition, fired 2 practice shots, and three shots that counted. Aim small, miss small. The commentary was something like, "Nice Shot!, You got to me kidding me!, I'll be god damned!!!" Don't Mess With Texas!
