  1. I dated an Israeli in high school. She also went to UT. I haven’t spoken to her in many years, but these events made me reach out to her. So in my little world, thousands of miles away from the conflict, there is a positive…reconnecting with a friend. Fortunately, her family is basically halfway between Lebanon and Gaza, so far from the action so far. /csb
  2. That sounds more like conventional drilling rather than unconventional. He probably tried to install a plunger lift without her approval.
  3. There were rockets from Lebanon yesterday and Israel sent some helicopters to retaliate.
  4. There are several strategic mothball fleets/ships, but I think most are in pretty bad shape. There is on in the Golden Triangle at McFaddin Bend Cutoff which had a carrier. The carrier was sold to the Red Cross. There is another in the Bay Area as well.
  5. I haven’t talked to him in a couple of months but we went to a concert not long ago. I assume he is doing well. Yeah, I used to lurk hornfans back before Shaggy’s existed. I could tell it wasn’t the place for me.
  6. It feels like longer. I was part of a very cool online music community from 2001-2010 or so when the site was sold off. I came across Shaggy’s around that time but it took awhile to sign up. I am not a frat boy, so I was a bit averse to it. But I knew Ldogg since college in the mid 90s and he posted there, so I signed up after reading the Ms paint thread.
  7. I’m sure this won’t be popular, but O&G is rife with toxic bro culture. This is my second career, but still have more than 15 years in it. While it seems to be improving, it is still very male oriented and many project directors and VP’s are piece of shit bros.
  8. It’s company by company. Most EPC companies test for initial screening and only after a workplace accident. However, I think many operators/owners do random tests. I worked for a bit as a contractor for Motiva and the direct employees told me they did random hair tests. That is expensive, so it makes sense that operators would do that and not so much the engineering firms.
  9. I have said this many times, many news stories and events are inherently political. The idea of no politics in DT is fucking stupid. Twitter/threads/reuters does just fine at reporting the news.
  10. I’m a Longhorn two times over, but I am pretty sure that thread on shaggy was what made me register in 2011.
  11. Anyone have a full breakdown of nationalities taken hostage? I know of the 11 (st least) Americans and I see at least 3 Brazilians. Time to send in BOPE.
  12. Haha. Not sure. But maybe. It was more than one account.
  13. Just heading to 7-11 for a kosher slurpee.
  14. But the drunk deacon is over there splainin history everyone. And doing it with quite the racist undertones. Which is shocking.
  15. r/combatfootage has a lot of, well, combat footage from this conflict.
  16. So you are saying might is right? If I am misunderstanding, my apologies. I don’t see much difference using your logic. By most accounts the native Americans have been here for over 15,000 years and have been murdered or marginalized for the past 500 or so. As recently as the last century, native women were being sterilized. Sounds like terrorism to me. So you would be ok with returning land and resources to them? And I’m not taking a stance about Israel here, I’m just trying to understand your logic and if it tracks in other places such as the US.
  17. Porterhouse, you make a compelling argument to return massive swaths of the US (and the resources) back to the native Americans.
  18. I have been seeing this place pop up on Instagram for almost a year now. I was telling deadshank I almost asked if any of you Alamo city folks had tried it. The reviews are pretty good. Some of the pictures on google aren’t that appealing, but on IG that rib burrito looks great.
  19. I didn’t see anything about a specific threat, but obviously security concerns. I’m sure Chevron and the other stakeholders are thrilled.
  20. Posted link in the oil baron thread, but Israeli government asked Chevron to shut down one of their two gas platforms near Gaza.
  21. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-09/chevron-told-by-israel-to-shut-output-at-tamar-gas-platform-lnis1er3
  22. Thanks. I didn’t know there was a split with SA. Still doesn’t change how I feel in general because of the female thing. Although, it seems in the tiniest of shifts SA is changing. So where are we with Russia in all of this? There is a ton of chatter out there but I assume 90% of is disinformation.
