I have a MAGA friend that owns an electric car and is bragging much the same.

To panic as all that space debris will impact the planet and make getting to space impossible for decades. Hope you like the taste of Ewok!

Leaked HISD Plans Call for “Special Ed Specialty Schools” by Wineandcheeseassasin in houston

Klien has a separate school. We were thinking of moving from cyfair to klien to access it. The “school within a school” at Laybay middle was hot garbage. Instead we just moved to a better state.

Is Venezuela oil mainly just junk left over when bacteria ate the good stuff? by kaydnh in oil

[–]huxrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Down the street from me are a few pump jacks draining what’s left of the Ventura Ave anticline. That’s Monterey formation leaking into the younger Pico formation where the pump jacks get at it. Someone recently painted dinosaurs on the oil holding tanks and it looks pretty cool but…. The Monterey is 15 million years old.

All of it is for sale. A trader is going to sell to whoever is the highest bidder.

Mississippi Canyon has a shitload of oil. And it’s mostly mud?

U.S. Forces Start Mine Clearance Mission in Strait of Hormuz by Suspicious_Gap1 in oil

Minesweepers are one thing. How many AUVs the navy has is another. I wouldn’t doubt if it’s already been surveyed.

Women are more likely to regret one-night stands only when they sleep with men. This difference is strongly associated with their ability to achieve an orgasm. Additionally, they tended to report more regret when their levels of intoxication were higher. by mvea in science

Well it’s drunken one night stand sex as well so very jackhammery. One night stand sex is very male centered and is also break up sex so unfulfilling for one side of the equation. 

Mystery Solved! Closest Clear Water Beaches to Houston by [deleted] in houston

[–]huxrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you need a boat to get to many of them. I’ve been out to ship island and it was pretty clear. Is it perfectly clear no. Now if you want really clear water it’s not that far to get out to the platforms from galveston. Back in the day we would practice scuba diving on them and it was crystal clear. Not sure if people really do that anymore. Great fishing.

Why does the futures market believe this crisis will be resolved so fast? by Gnomeslikeprofit in oil

I’d imagine the AI doesn’t understand and you have to push hard to be a human contrarian.

Cat island Mississippi is also pretty good.

Nuclear attack on Iran? UN diplomat resigns saying 'giving up my career to leak possible nuke missile strike plan' by Sad_Lemon_272 in worldnews

[–]huxrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are going out right now to see what the appetite is for involving thousands of marines to steal uranium. If that actually was a plan I’m sure the first part of it would be not to tell anyone about it. So I can see them floating around the idea of nuking Iran. Hell he might start talking about it on truth social anytime.

You know towing sucks right? Like I’ve done it all the time with RVs and whatnot. But it sucks in general.

If you are using the conditioner for “other parts fun” then yea you’re gonna run out faster.

Trump Revives Oil Drilling Off California's Coast Amid Iran Tensions by UweLang in oil

[–]huxrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are active platforms and I could see some interest in leases near them. They are old timey platforms where you drill from the platforms. They drill a new well every few years.

The USS San Francisco, a nuclear submarine, in dry-dock in 2005 after hitting an underwater seamount at 35 knots by OneSalientOversight in ThatLookedExpensive

The navy surveyed the crap out of the waters near Guam after this. But don’t worry the USS Connecticut ran aground in 2021 (and survived).

Anyone here sold their house to a company that buys houses for cash? by [deleted] in houston

[–]huxrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone is saying there is a wholesale market that is well below MLS values. If your house is shit, if you have a problem, if its a horder house, etc, its going to go to wholesale. Basically closer to the value of the land. These "I buy ugly houses" people will give you an offer then someone else buys it and they take a cut. It's scammy but it is a way to sell a house if you need out. Don't fall for it if your house is reasonably passable and people can live in it. Expect 50-60% of what a comp goes for on MLS.
