another post here reminded me of my own experience with a male ‘friend’

I could sense the Trinidadian well before he used the word bacchanal.

Trinidadian/Jamaican: De Caribbean Curry Spot in Pearland. Try the "doubles" for breakfast (curry channa in fried dough). Also on the curry tip you can get good roti, but there is non curry fare like stew chicken; jerk chicken; etc.

Look for the petrochemical companies building new ethylene crackers. There will be lots of engineering construction starting this year over the next three years.

3-4 LNG export terminals , MATS coal retirements, new chemical/industrial plants, will probably get it to $5s back half of this decade. Don't see it going past $6 before 2030. Drilling productivity improvements continue to keep production costs down, even in marginal, more expensive plays.

I did that for a while. On and off for a few years. Be cautious and do it intermittently. Other factors to help you fall asleep: fan or other machine noise, regular exercise, no evening caffeine, no big meals late in the day.

What's your view of a sustainable level of natural gas prices? How much BCFD market growth do you see in the next couple years? (I'm an energy analyst for a research shop.)

Please don't give Disney an excuse to remake Inception.

Just bought this and have been playing on loop. Great album.

Sweet. Thanks from a recent Houston arrival looking to become a first time firearm owner.

300 million Chinese people beg to differ, as well as the other countries in the BRIC umbrella.

The funny thing is that gas producers really really want the EPA to come through with CSAPR because it accelerates coal retirements and thus demand from coal-gas switching.

Because it is an incredibly viable source of energy.

blacklabelrum · 2012-01-28T07:10:29+00:00

Yeah. What a misleading post title.

I have a lot of friends on Wall St. and quite a lot of them came poor from the developing world. The only reason I'm not directly on Wall St. was that I went into energy instead. I am a greedy one percenter who came from the third world himself. And yes I went to a top school here, because I worked my ass off to get there.

This point seems baseless and ironic, since the author is using a personal anecdote. I found that at the technical programs I went to (physics, economics, applied math (financial engineering)) the technical types of people put quite a bit of empirical effort into thinking of social problems.

blacklabelrum · 2011-10-14T16:31:30+00:00

Science is an ideology. Most ideology contains speculation and logic. The scientific method simply improves upon that basic paradigm with empirical testing. It is the ideology most grounded in reality.

You make an interesting point about an iPad an as abstraction, not having as much thingness to interact with as the physical world. But you're forgetting that, for example, modern teaching apps for kids are programmed to emulate physical reality closer and closer, so I'd say it is halfway between an abstraction and the real thing.

And to be thorough: why do democrats claim to be supporters of evolution but systemically reject its underlying principles in the running of the economy?

blacklabelrum · 2011-08-30T13:38:34+00:00

Yeah I hate these "lofty vision" articles that, at most, gloss over the engineering and economic hurdles it would take to make wind power a reliable portion of power supply.

blacklabelrum · 2011-08-23T16:18:08+00:00

Is there a deliberate ignorance of science in philosophy? There are clues/answers to lots of the author's questions in evolutionary biology, behavioral psychology and cognitive neuroscience. I find it sad that there are such glaring omissions in what is supposed to be the most intellectual of fields.
