Plenty of countries I drove through in Africa have over 2000 parts per million sulphur in their diesel - just use their refineries. Check the last page - https://sustmob.org/PCFV/GlobalSulphurStatus_Progress2006-20...

As an Aussie that has spent significant time in the USA - have a look at what lower taxes have done to the quality of life in the USA. You DO NOT want Australia to be like the USA, trust me.

Headline 100 years ago: "How many gas stations does the US need to replace Hay and farriers?" Obviously for the first few years it was difficult to drive an automobile very far.. and every year it got better and better.

Absolutely, drinking diet coke or water is cutting out an enormous number of calories, as-is medium fries. Heck, I only weight 185lbs and back when I ate mcDonald's a single Egg McMuffin wasn't nearly enough food to make me feel f

Three meals a day at McDonald’s with the occasional supersize is easily 4000+ calories a day. That is a massive surplus to gain plenty of weight

The first episode of his TV show ‘30 days’ remains the best show I have ever seen. He and his fiancé try to live on minimum wage in Columbus, OH. It is staggering what that life looks like in the richest country the world has ever seen. All

I just upgraded from a mid 2014 MBP to a used M1 air. It is much, much faster, silent, and I use it for days without power. Editing 4K video is not just possible, it is a non event.

Apparently they use raptor exhaust gas to pressurize tanks, and it is speculated the filters are getting clogged from the water vapour in the exist gas freezing. Also, that rocket was always destined to be throw away, just like SLS 1 and 2.
