I wonder who has their hands in an AI company and will charge the government a ridiculous contract price to run all of those pointless emails?

As a chemical/petroleum engineer, this is a great little summary of how these stations work. Good find.

The whole oil scene in California is bad...Between the number of unplugged wells (just look at photos of South Belridge field to get an idea of the potential of what is out there) and the amount of water used in California for oil productio

As someone from the South Hills area, I, too, am interested in seeing how this goes...Pittsburgh has really changed over the past 30-40 years, replacing a massively overwhelming population of blue collar jobs with white collar (mostly docto

Having served on boards, the one thing I have not seen that would be really key (and maybe I just have not been lucky in my searches), is something that answers the question of what is the language around releasing information regarding the

I mean, my computer has Legion written right on the front of it, so this just makes sense.

So, to capture this better, would you then design your factory with acoustics in mind (more so than now), too? Like areas where soundwaves would bounce to resonate and concentrate to hit sensors?

Interesting idea to jack up beef prices even more... So, having worked with a few ranchers out in Wyoming on the oil and gas side, I can tell you that in some cases the cattle have access to free water, but it ain't that good water you

True story. I have been to SA a number of times and know have seen how dry it can get down there (though with what water you have, it is beautiful). We also have a lot of farmers and ranchers picking up the oil and gas royalty income in the

You are totally right, the amount of chemical in comparison to the total frac job is small, but when you start putting 8-16 wells in the same space where once we only did 4, then it starts to add up. I used to have a full chemical list som

Also worth mentioning, where the article talks about "proprietary recipes" - that isn't just referencing one chemical in many cases. They will just enter that phrase as the full list of chemicals used.

Full disclosure, I used to work directly for one of those guys mentioned in the book description.

I have used the FracFocus database for about 6 or 7 years now (been a petroleum/reservoir engineer for ~20 years), and it is quite depressing to look at some of the chemicals they use. While I applaud the study, it would be interestin

The list is very much Australian. As someone who has done land leasing for natural resources, you can rack up a pretty huge leasing position pretty quick (I know these people on the infographic own it, but back in the day it was pretty easy

Speaking of the rich, I found this video interesting about luxury goods right now. Patrick Boyle has some other good videos on YouTube, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH6pF-gXbuw

Exxon is a behemoth that spreads its money over everything just to catch something - and even that is done poorly over there. They do have a number of legacy fields that if not already on CO2 flooding, may become candidates in their eyes s

Interesting. In that part of the world, the crust is actually some of the thinnest on Earth. Shell drilled some thermal wells up there in the 70s - when it comes to tech, they have always been the most progressive of the E&P industry

I was going to post this response, too. Yes, you can close it because it is duplicate, but god knows the huge range of how good people are at explaining something to people of various levels of understanding.

This is awesome. As someone who lives in the U.S, had a heart attack (double bypass), and a week hospital stay...I want to see if $298,000 was the right price.

I have read it, and yes, this is true...but I actually had a boss that would just demean you in front of anyone and every so often threw a chair, so my stress was coming from multiple fronts.

So the "Sunday Scaries" are real - where you dread going into your toxic job on Monday. Diet and genetics are big contributors to the blockages forming, and the stress sets it off. I had mine (which lead to a double bypass) on a

I love these things - to see everything sort of classified, and all at once, helps me find things I would never think to look for. Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere else, but if you want to see a reddit map, here it is (maybe you

A preventative like this is good to know, but, really, all you need to do is drink a lot of water through the day. That is the number one way to avoid a kidney stone. I have had a urologist say, "Hell, you can drink enough beer, and
