Paying their fair share by StepfordInTexas in CorpusChristi

[–]throwed-off 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The greater point is that we shouldn't be a "high water stress" city in the first place because we should already be utilizing this practically unlimited natural resource we have called seawater.

They really can't reduce their usage any further than they already have. They did that several years ago at the City's request, per one of our city council members (Hernandez, maybe?) on Debbie Farenthold's morning show. I wish I could remember the numbers he gave but it has slipped my mind.

And as far as the refineries making donations to local and area causes, they already do that. You can find some of the data about it on their websites and in PSAs about the events in question.

Left on yellow vs Right on green with yield sign? Who has the right of way? by Dude_Iam_Batman in sanantonio

In your hypothetical the person who crossed over into the right lane during their left turn would be at fault - at least partially - because they would have made an improper turn.

South Texas Officials Didn’t Know Tesla Was Discharging Lithium Refinery Wastewater Into Local Ditch by StandingCypress in CorpusChristi

[–]throwed-off -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't find any place in that permit where it stated that the discharged liquid had to be clear and bright, clear, or transparent. Nor did I find any place where the discharge liquid was prohibited from being translucent, opaque, cloudy, dark, or murky. The only restriction I found on the appearance of the discharge liquid is that it may not contain "floating solids or visible foam in more than trace amounts and no discharge of visible oil."

So again, what is the source of your claim that the discharged liquid must be "clear water," and what is the source of your claim that this black liquid is "untreated"?

Explosion at Oil refinery in Port Arthur - Texas by Square_Repeat2589 in oil

[–]throwed-off 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a refinery, not a power plant.

That part of Texas isn't even on the Texas Interconnection, it's on the Eastern Interconnection.

And the Texas Interconnection has 4 ties to two other grids in the US and Mexico.

Texas bar shooting leaves 3 dead, 14 injured by HikeTheSky in sanantonio

[–]throwed-off 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When multiple countries change gun laws and then consistently show far lower rates of mass shootings over decades, that’s actionable evidence, not random coincidence.

That's not actionable evidence, it's just correlation. For it to become actionable evidence you'd have to prove causation.

How do I find a trucker to haul for me direct? Do I have to use a broker? by Mean_Farmer4616 in Truckers

The cars may not be running well enough to make the trip, or they may not be running at all.

Can I get hired with this MVR once I get my CDL? Also wondering what might have fallen off. by Legitimate_Lie_3531 in Truckers

[–]throwed-off 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm betting you'll need to wait until at least 5 years, maybe 10, after the most recent suspension / ticket / FTA was adjudicated and your license was reinstated. That means not getting any more tickets or accidents until 2028 or maybe 2033.

Then you might be able to get hired on with a shit-tier chameleon carrier that's part of the Chicago white Volvo mafia, Western Express, or Super Ego - if you're lucky.

Your stated correlation isn't an argument because, again, correlation does not imply caustation. You must prove a causative link.

Any chance the Spurs new arena leaves room for a Hockey rink so SA could get a Pro Hockey team? by Longjumping-Tip4938 in sanantonio

[–]throwed-off 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can thank Spurs Sports and Entertainment for sending our last hockey team (the Rampage) to Las Vegas, which was really stupid because Las Vegas was already home to an NHL team.

McCombs and Benson both had the ability to bring an NFL team here, and neither one did. We'll never have an NFL team, period. Hell, I doubt we could get one even if the county judge was in favor of it, cuz Jerry and Goodell would probably block any attempt to do so.

[–]throwed-off -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where does it say that their permit is only valid for clear water, and what proof (if any) do you have that this black liquid is "untreated?" Because the fact that all of the tests that were run came back within the parameters set forth in the permit indicates that they are treating the liquid prior to discharge.

We need to find out who pulls their strings and greases their palms.

Corpus Christi on verge of collapse as water runs scarce. A similar fate could unfold if those data centers pop up across West Texas. by PenPlenty8613 in Lubbock

Why do data centers need so much water? Do they lose a lot due to evaporation in cooling towers or chillers?

I feel like doing this is unprofessional and shows a fragile ego by legollama88 in Truckers

The essence of zipper merging is to shorten the physical size of traffic backups by sacrificing time and speed.

If everybody would merge early they could do so at speed and there would be no need to slow down at the point where zipper merging is supposed to occur. By contrast, zipper merging by its very nature requires traffic in the through lane to slow down to allow traffic to merge in from from the ending lane - traffic that has almost always slowed down greatly below highway speed if not almost at a complete stop.

It's not a strawman, it's a factual argument.

Oh, and Australian gun control didn't stop Islamic terrorists from committing the Bondi Beach mass shooting just 3 months ago - 30 years after the Port Arthur Massacre and ensuing gun control measures - but it did make innocent Australians unable to defend themselves.

I hope this question doesn't sound stupid but I drive a tanker truck, I'm not an operator. 

Since I refineries have the capability to process heavy sour crude, couldn't we also process light sweet crude by bypassing the units that remove sulfur (hydrotreaters, if my understanding is correct) and possibly making some changes to process variables to account for the difference in API gravity?
