Geez.

US oil is fracked, which means that to get out of the microscopic fissures in the rocks only the lighter stuff comes out.

This makes excellent gasoline. By the way, this is also why we've become a CH4 power house.

Unfortunately, the US runs on diesel. We don't produce much heavy oil so we import it.

net it basically cancels out depending on interest rates, price of oil and who's in charge in DC.

Fracking, anyway, is an economic mirage enabled by cheap credit and expensive oil. Fracking sucks because the wells don't produce much.

We don't (net) sell it. In fact we don't sell very much the world wants

The petrodollar was never about access to Saudi oil. Even when we imported large amounts of oil, we also produced a lot and we had very many different suppliers.

The petrodollar was about creating a massive market for USD despite us having a massive trade deficit. Every country that wanted to buy oil had to hold USD and US treasuries to buy the oil.

This cemented the USD as the world currency therefore financing our budgetary (as opposed to trade) deficit with cheap interest rates.

That includes the Vietnam and Korean wars - lots of pilots got shot down

Yes because it is a breach to the principle of jurisdiction and it's ultimately based on American imperialism.

Mind you, Id gladly have pedos and banana execs shot in public.

Except when things matter, like an election.

Then, the NyPost is the only media outlet to run a story of a laptop (recently verified by the FBI in court) containing incriminating evidence of corruption of one of the two leading candidates.

O dunno if it's the greatest, but it's good enough that thanks to it Linux became my desktop.

Maybe there's a better distribution? But who has time to explore?

Thanks Debian team!

A modern, backwards compatible, RPL for your desktop.

Im not a CS guy, so I dont know what "first class" means.

I can do whatever to a function. I can use it as an argument. I can return it from another function. I can make a function that modifies functions.

All that w/out doing anything out of the ordinary day to day programing.

I been wanting to make a forth+lisp language for a while now - inspired by HP's RPL (its so close to being a lisp!).

Super cool

Was. Their northern region looks sketchy right now.

Sci hub is so good. Im a university partner and have accesses to a top research uni's library. I use Sci hun because logging into Elsevier is a massive PIA.

No, I think it will also include a smattering of Englishmen, a score of Germans and (maybe) a guy with a mechanical engineering degree who dedicated his career to washers.
