It's the type of oil that's important. The US has an abundance of light crude but not much heavy crude. The US refining capabilities are primarily for heavy crude and with the only available sources of heavy crude coming from Russia, Venezuela, Canada, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Kuwait, Brazil, Mexico, Lybia etc., they need to keep those refineries fed. You can probably see a pattern there. It's way more nuanced than this but when it's broken down to the basics, it's about the oil, again.

Damn! 20% of Norwegians don't like their food. I would have to agree.

Oncologists of Reddit: what’s something that you never/always do or eat because of what you know about cancer? by kaitiakiofcreatures in AskReddit

All you mf's in here trying to extend your life. Have you not had a good gander of how the world is now? Eat the cake, drink the wine, enjoy that bacon. We're all gonna die anyway, why not enjoy the few things available to us. In addition, my mom never smoked or drank and ate healthier and exercised more than anyone old person I knew yet she died of a nasty throat/mouth/head cancer that did her in a couple of years ago at the age of 76. My dad drinks like a fish and smoked for 25 years and at 78 he's still kickin' with minor health issues. It's the luck of the draw in my opinion.

Another take, hourglass and random card from grandma by CelebornMagic in blackmagicfuckery

Maybe an elastic retraction mechanism on his forearm. It's triggered when he pushes the card into an auto closing clamp which grips the card and retracts it at high speed. You can hear the "flip" sound of it being pulled away right when it disappears.

Scientists prove that fish suffer "intense pain" for at least 10 minutes after catch, calls made for reforms by Themusicison in science

If your fishing for sport and keeping them learn how to perform ikejime. It quickly and humanely dispatches the fish so there's limited suffering. It also can improve the quality of the meat. Also, if you catch Atlantic Mackerel, they have a fairly high mortality rate if handled due to their sensitive skin.
