    Is propane made from Y Grade?  I don't know much about such things.  Y grade for sure was flared.

    If they are flaring gas from the flow station near the well head chances are they are flaring rich nat gas from which propane and other natural gas liquids could recovered and that, when condensed, are referred to collectively as Y grade. The only way to effectively separate the Y grade is to process the gas before flaring. On new wells or remote wells this is often not feasible. The recovered Y grade can be fractionated into its components including propane. This also is often not feasible in certain locations.

    One thing that characterized Stoops's recruiting was that it seemed to be "complete," in that, unlike Texas, there were rarely, if ever, gaping holes at positions.  We may have gotten as or more highly ranked recruits, but were often spotty at certain positions.  And if a hole emerged, it was patched as rapidly as possible, often by resort to the JUCO "market."

    If Stoops includes Mike, then take a look at the defensive secondary, safety in particular, and think again. Grinch has these guys performing way above their natural size and ability. 

  3. The principal difference between Riley and Herman has little to do with Xs and Os acumen. It is that Riley was willing to kick the chair out from under a DC who was the brother of one of his main mentors and champions, and the guy who have him his first big shot, mid season. Cold blooded like. Herman keeps obvious under performers around because of loyalty, ego, and its comfortable. Lots of coaches are like this. Stoops was, Mack was, etc.

  4. I personally do not think a tour guide is that helpful for Red Fort. But definitely worth seeing. Absolutely huge piece of construction and architecture. I was whisked to the front of a long line to get in apparently for being a white person.

    We all have skin in the game.

    Some skin that’s get blown off more precisely by the next generation of Kurds who are raised to intensely hate the US and everything that it stands for, just like in Iraq and Afghanistan (x2) before that. We already saw what gen x afghans are capable of. Going to be a rough 50 years if we don’t get our shit straight and locked down.

    You know, pissing off one of the persons who could vote to convict you if you are impeached, and maybe convince others to also vote to convict, is probably not a good strategy. But what do I know. 

    You’re obviously not a stable genius sir

    I just caught up starting Aug 20th and this downfall is like a screenplay. I find it hard to believe someone in your position hasn't seeked out medical care. No offense man, it's just hard to process/believe.

    To add, I entered rehab via ambulance.

    Hah love this.

  9. The whole “force of the universe” karma, something beyond my awareness, group is the higher power is what worked for me. I started in a shit rehab with a bunch of literal crack addicts whose lives were fucked beyond description. But when we all got in that room together the sum total of the power in that room to help one single individual in there was so much greater than the minuscule power of each individual added together I snapped to and finally got it that there was something special going on. Fuck it your higher power can be a GD grapefruit. It. Does. Not. Matter.  You will not win this battle alone. You just won’t.

    Damn you guys are the fucking best, I feel guilty for now rejecting the offer. I’ve found steady living. I’m gonna stay in the Austin area and see how this plays out. God bless y’all. 

    Hate to put it bluntly but everyone on here knows exactly how this plays out if you dont seek help and have seen it too many times to count.  We're only here because we did.  Balls in your court but my experience is take the advice of those that have already traveled the road you are on.

  11. Not to gloat, but just to point out the progressive nature of this thing:

    I do appreciate all the insight. If I go into a program, it will ruin my career, family and relationship. Not trying to sound like the douche who thinks he knows everything, but I’ve done it once before, gonna go solo again. Of course I’m willing to check in  anywhere at a moments glance, but at this time there’s no way I could do a program or something and not lose everything

    The old lady in blue is exactly the kind of person who should not be allowed to have Pre-Check. 

    There needs to be a 50 flights in the past 5 years prerequisite so that everyone in that line knows what they're doing and are most likely going to be efficient at it.

    I would pay extra to use an “expert” terminal and not the “beginner” terminal.

    I read on Reuter’s that they knocked out five crude stabilization towers. Those are massive pressure vessels and even though I’ve never specced out installing them I am in the industry. Lead time on something like that would be like 2-3 months minimum if you could get a fab shop to dedicate itself directly to you and toss all other orders aside. 

    Lead time on a rebuild of that type of structure is 2+ years. Period.  It doesn’t matter what any fan shop could do. And they couldn’t do this shit in 2-3 months if you allowed them to print money. It’s the boots on the ground welding pipe and pulling cable that is the critical path. 

    I repeat. This was not a refinery. The largest refinery in the world is Reliance in India and its just over 1 my bpd. This facility processed 6.8mm bpd. It’s a production facility. It merely cleans the crude up for export to actual refineries.

    There are a couple mysteries here:

    1. Saudi Arabia has had sophisticated radar including AWACs and other US and European hardware for decades   As well as US military advisors and military contractors in country so  it’s difficult for me  to believe their critical oil assets somehow are this vulnerable to “ low tech , relatively low speed drones”. They also were aware of the drone threat in the past.

    2. The reports I have read about the attacks mention refinery facilities, not crude oil pumping stations or crude oil management facilities. The oil supply being threatened and production cuts  discussed are not refined petroleum products but crude oil. Something either is not being reported correctly or there is another issue.

    On 2, there is not a 8 mm bpd refinery anywhere in the world, so this is a crude processing facility. I guess it’s refining, but it’s not a refinery in any sense. Typical media nitwits not going through fact checkers. 

  15. I would seriously consider not getting some retread as the next coach. I get the chip hire looked good, but even the great ones just lose their fire sometimes. Even happened to stoops in about 2012. I also get that “we’re UCLA” but the fact is you haven’t been relevant for quite some time, and you need to just realize it’s time to take some risks.
