Are they just doing $1/(42gallons in a barrel)? That's assuming the cost of processing doesn't increase enough to make it even more should make sense. Unless the processing significantly changes the volume from crude oil -> gasoline.

Alcohol supposedly can convert T into E and lead to short-term suppression of T production and chronic use could lead to longer term reduction in production.

So technically alcohol may be a weak antiboyoatic as well

I… don’t understand how you got to this? The headline is “tankers take Tehran Toll Booth”, that’s the exact opposite of defying Tehran!

If you just read headlines, you could think "Tehran Toll Booth" is just a euphemism for the entire strait. When I saw that, my first question was "are they trying to pretend to belong to a group friendly to Iran?" Someone who is more overconfident and unwilling to read more (and was the type of person to think dead people vote en masse for Democrats), I'd probably have concluded "haha, stupid Iranians getting tricked by boats pretending to be dead" and moved on.

That sounds like normal in Houston. Sometimes there's explosions 🤷‍♀️ Not common, but not surprising.

That's why I keep a lockpick set in your bag. Granted, half the time Im locked out I don't have it or I forgot I had it I think

Was thinking the same thing (mostly because I always stock up on pb and I'm running low and been meaning to do that soon).

All the flat earthers seem to do experiments to prove its round.

Air traffick controllers exist for a reason. There would be a lot more if not for a lot of work to prevent collisions.

Until the game tries to release a game on the Wii and now the character is suddenly right handed.

but you do if you want to politely inform the US that you can hit their base if you so wish and so to be very careful about future actions

And all other bases and targets of interest in a 4Mm radius. Could lead to the US spreading interceptors more thinly to protect more targets. It also informs tech and oil companies facilities in that area about such a risk to see if they'll push more to end hostilities.

I think that's the 737 MAX

Thanks for the read!

Ammonium perchlorate is the biggest vulnerability. It is the solid rocket oxidizer present in every missile with a solid motor, from Patriot to THAAD to Arrow to ATACMS. The 600 tons required to reload one 96-hour operation represents 6.7 percent of the entire annual production capacity of AMPAC’s facility in Cedar City, Utah, the single domestic source. There is no second supplier. A disruption at that one facility would halt all solid rocket motor production in the United States simultaneously.

Wished it gave similar breakdown for other raws. Found this for gallium, so dropping some quotes in case others were interested: https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2024/mcs2024-gallium.pdf

Government Stockpile: None. ... World high-purity refined gallium production in 2023 was estimated to be about 320,000 kilograms, a 3% increase from the revised 2022 figure of 310,000 kilograms. Canada, China, Japan, Slovakia, and the United States were the known principal producers of high-purity refined gallium. The United Kingdom ceased high-purity refined gallium production in 2018. Gallium was recovered from new scrap in Canada, China, Japan, Slovakia, and the United States. World high-purity refined gallium production capacity was an estimated 340,000 kilograms per year, and secondary high-purity gallium production capacity was an estimated 280,000 kilograms per year.

It includes numbers for primary production and total production capacity in kgs:

*United States: — —

*China: 600,000 1,000,000

*Japan: 3,000 10,000

*Korea: 2,000 16,000

*Russia 5,000 10,000

*Other countries: — 88,000

*World total (rounded): 610,000 1,100,000

Weird they claim the US is was one of "the known principal producers" and then says it effectively produced none.

World Resources: Gallium occurs in very small concentrations in ores of other metals. Most gallium is produced as a byproduct of processing bauxite, and the remainder is produced from zinc-processing residues. The average gallium content of bauxite is 50 parts per million. U.S. bauxite deposits consist mainly of subeconomic resources that are not generally suitable for alumina production owing to their high silica content. Some domestic zinc ores contain up to 50 parts per million gallium and could be a significant resource, although no gallium is currently recovered from domestic ores. Gallium contained in world resources of bauxite is estimated to exceed 1 million tons, and a considerable quantity could be contained in world zinc resources. However, less than 10% of the gallium in bauxite and zinc resources is potentially recoverable.
