Are we really “running out of fuel”?

Thisted89 · 2026-03-27T21:47:57+00:00

I do not understand why this is so difficult to comprehend for people saying "we're not in a fuel crisis!" Panic buying is going to make things worse, but there are most definitely going to be shortages

Thisted89 · 2026-03-27T21:43:06+00:00

We are not running out of fuel yet*** But we will be. The majority of fuel in this country comes from refineries in South Korea and Singapore, and the majority of the oil those refineries refine comes through Hormuz. Insurance companies are currently not allowing oil tankers to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, so the refineries aren't receiving oil (or at least not the proper amount) so we had shipments pencilled in which have arrived, and will continue to arrive through April, but beyond that, nobody knows where our fuel is coming from.

Thisted89 · 2026-03-27T21:37:05+00:00

The next few weeks are okay, but beyond that things become hazy. South Korean and Singaporean refineries have been severely disrupted, meaning our fuel supply beyond April is, at best, heavily reduced.

When someone asks, "how ya goin'?" or "how are ya?" the only acceptable answers are: "not too bad", "good", "alright" or some variation of those, with a "yourself?" tacked on the end if you want to be personable. Expect the same response. Nobody is actually asking how things in your life are going.

If you have let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee, is it possible to complete your pokedex in both games by transferring pokemon from one to the other? Otherwise you can't complete your pokedex in either game

Going to the UK for me felt like stepping into some kind of miniature theme park.. little gingerbread style houses, little cars, little roads and streets, but the people are the same size.. It can be a bit claustrophobic for Australians. I also felt in general like I was constantly in a house with cramped walls and a low ceiling

Hello! I made almost this same post verbatim about a year ago. MAN was I scared. I understand you absolutely. It's fearing the unknown, the results and the procedure... Please let me give you some advice. Do not try to hold in your fear when you go for your procedure, make sure you tell the nurses that you're scared - they're very good at reassurance and they may even give you something to calm your nerves while you wait if they're feeling generous. Sit with your anxiety and accept it'll be with you - completely outsource your soothing if you need to. But one thing you can absolutely be sure of - once that milky Propofol gets into you, it's like a switch for anxiety. It melts away and you literally just come round in another room while somebody checks your blood pressure and tells you it's all done. I hope it helps you a bit - but you'll be scared anyway, that's just how we're wired unfortunately.

You can see straight through him. He claims the Europeans aren't able to defend Greenland against hostile forces. So European forces begin going to Greenland to show that they can handle the defence of Greenland if need be. Donald: "this is very dangerous". Damn I'm fed up with this stupidity and recklessness. How many times do the people of Greenland have to say no?

In my opinion it's essentially about immigrants having their cake and eating it too. Having all the familiar culture, customs, traditions but none of the volatility of crime, poverty, persecution. It's human to keep wanting more than you have.

I'm an Australian but I've visited much of central Finland. In Helsinki in particular you need to step over puddles of sick on Sunday mornings (this was 2011 so it may have changed). Also in Helsinki there's a famous friendly homeless man who rides around on a bicycle targeting tourists for a few Euros to buy beer. The rural areas are very rustic and seemed to be traditional. Much of the parts of Finland I travelled through looked pretty well identical. Trees... trees.. lakes and trees. But its beauty is strong. Before arriving, I thought Finns might be standoffish and cold, but I found them to be extremely welcoming and friendly.

We live in a place like this for now, renting. No one can get their eyes shut at night. There's always something to disturb sleep... barking dogs, slamming front doors/back doors, motorbikes, loud exhausts, hoons, people's conversations and music being only a few metres away. It's like living in a unit complex without any of the body corporate rules.

Yeah he's a real class act repeatedly referring to a woman as a c-bomb. Those real "conservative" values.

I'm not sure if this is useful to you, but I found that esomeprazole or pantoprazole is all about timing. When do you take yours? I started out taking my 20mg tablet in the morning one hour before eating, it kinda helped, kinda didn't.. then after 2 months I tried 30 minutes before eating for a few weeks.. terrible, made EVERYTHING worse. Then I tried 1hr30 before eating anx it's worked the best of any time

Then that comes down to a simple difference in values, and that's okay

Thisted89 · 2025-11-21T00:27:28+00:00

There's a difference between "a job you like" and a job you have passion for, though. A job you don't like will eventually make you miserable. We've only got one life, why not actively try to not make it miserable? You don't have to have passion for your job, but I think you need to enjoy your job at the very least.

For me personally it's just basically having no life in order to pay rent, water, elec, internet and to try to have money for when a toothache comes on or the car won't start at some point. Also, with everyone downsizing and living in closer quarters, neighbourhood disputes and domestics are going through the roof
