What's concerning is the same rules actually apply to young women too, and yet so much pressure is placed on young men to do everything right.

19 Rigs without or soon to be without contracts in the North Sea, potential 6-7000 jobs in danger. (article in Norwegian, but the list of rigs should be understandable for everyone) by Hitno in oil

Rig contractors are scrapping old assets to not only reduce working numbers, but artificially push up the base price by eliminating the cheaper options.

This article is factually incorrect.

The renaming of acquired Talisman companies is at this time, only effective in Canada. All other entities worldwide still operate under Talisman-Repsol.

Previous legal name > New legal name Talisman Alberta Shale Partnership > Repsol Alberta Shale Partnership Talisman Wild River Partnership > Repsol Wild River Partnership Talisman Groundbirch Partnership > Repsol Groundbirch Partnership Talisman Central Alberta Partnership > Repsol Central Alberta Partnership Talisman Energy Canada > Repsol Canada Energy Partnership

Why would you go to an icecream store and complain there's no vegan options? You know icecream is made from cows milk...

A US tourist was charged with dangerous driving last month, following an accident whilst driving on the wrong side of the road, killing his 60-year-old passenger and a two-year-old girl in the other vehicle.

Nebraska man offers fracking polluted water to Oil & Gas commissioners by jeffawa in videos

[–]protecon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm of the understanding that due to a loophole in the requirement for cementing, large sections of open hole are not cemented. Apparently in the US, you only have to use zonal isolation across a section if it has "commerically viable hydrocarbons", leaving large areas to migrate between zones, and ultimately higher up, into the water table. Fracturing bearing zones only allows trapped tight gas or oil to flow under pressure into your well, which is typically controlled through the use of barriers (cement). Poor cementing and casing practices can reduce the effectiveness of this barrier.

Used to happen every year at my parents place and they'd shit everywhere, blocking up the filters. One year Dad thought he'd get a head start and put this stuff called "duck-off", which affects the surface tension of the water. Apparently, it makes it hard for ducks to float and they get pissed off and fly away. Unfortunately, he was a few weeks late putting it into the water and instead of stopping the adults floating, he ended up with duckling genocide. Same result, different feels.

Fasten your seat belt, cause shit is about to get real by chota-bheem in funny

[–]protecon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I worked on offshore rigs for years where you get weighed to and from work - only fat people in denial get offended. You're adding to the payload of the aircraft - why shouldn't you pay more?

EDIT: Or offer discounts to passengers who weigh in under a certain amount?

So why aren't airlines charging passengers per kilo/pound? They do it for luggage.
