That last bit of no cameras/not being bugged should have been proof positive that we don't have a tyrant for a president.

These people are truly bizarre in believing what they do. If it were true Trump would be lining them up in the streets to be shot.

Instead it is they who are shooting folks.

What Google AI Overview said about Alaskan crude:


Alaskan produced petroleum, specifically the widely produced Alaska North Slope (ANS) blend, is primarily considered a medium-density or medium-gravity crude oil. While it is not as light as many Lower-48 crudes, it is generally not classified as heavy crude, but rather fits into the medium sour category (typically
API).
Key Characteristics of Alaskan Oil:

Density: ANS is often classified as a medium crude with an API gravity around
.
Type: It is generally classified as "medium sour," containing some sulfur but generally acting as a stable, intermediate product.
Variations: While the main ANS blend is medium, Alaska also holds significant deposits of heavier, more viscous oil, such as the Ugnu heavy oil deposit, which is heavily monitored but less commonly produced than ANS.
Comparison: It is thicker than Light Tight Oil (LTO) produced in the Bakken or Permian basins, making it more similar to foreign medium-heavy imports, explains the Alaska Business Magazine.

While some new developments focus on heavier viscous oil, the bulk of historic and current production (ANS) remains in the medium category.

A Google AI Overview about the "light" vs "heavy" U.S. crude discussion. So most of the oil that the CONUS is now producing is "new" (post fracking acquired) compared to the past. It appears most of the "heavy" oil we refine is from Canada and Mexico, and now again I suspect from Valenzuela. I'll ask about AK crude next.

Over 80% of U.S. crude oil production in the Lower 48 states is "light" (API >35), driven by shale production in the Permian and Bakken basins. Conversely, production of heavy crude (API <30) is relatively low, making up only 10% of lower 48 production as of early 2022.
U.S. Crude Production Breakdown (Lower 48)

Light Crude (API >35): Over 80%
Medium Crude (API 30–35): Small share
Heavy Crude (API <30): ~10%

Key Takeaways

Production vs. Refinery Needs: While the U.S. produces mostly light crude, around 60-70% of U.S. refineries are designed to process heavy crude.
Import/Export Balance: To meet these needs, the U.S. imports heavy crude, largely from Canada and Mexico (60% and 7% of imports, respectively).
Recent Trends: Due to technological improvements in hydraulic fracturing, U.S. production has trended toward lighter, higher-API oil over the last decade, resulting in a large export market for U.S. light oil.

Note: Data primarily based on reports from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and industry analysis from API.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Until most of the physical state of Illinois walls off the cancerous blob on the north end of the state and chases most of the Springfield crowd there before pasting up the last bricks.

I think the last gas sign I saw here (but will check again tomorrow) was $3.74 but my last 20 gallons we bought for $2.35 because we had HyVee Fuel Saver points. I've only paid over $4 gas a few times, the last time it was with Biden.

The supposed manifesto from our little Cal Tech gammer. He truly thought he was an adult comic book super hero. And naive as ..., thinking he was going to reach his various administration targets with his 6 shot shotgun and his hand gun (his knife stash just show how nuts he actually was.

"Hello everybody!
So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.
I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.”
I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)
I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.
I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.
I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.
On to why I did any of this:
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
What my representatives do reflects on me.
And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.)
While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.)
Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest
Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t*
Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)
Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security
National Guard: same as Hotel Security
Hotel Employees: not targets at all
Guests: not targets at all
In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)
I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.
Rebuttals to objections:
Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.
Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.
Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.
Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.
Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim?
This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.
Objection 3: You didn’t get them all.
Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.
Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this.
Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack
Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.
Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.)
Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.
Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.
Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.
Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.
Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely,
Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen
PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the **** is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.
No **** security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a **** Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed ****.
Actually insane.
Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.
Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids."

My good buddy was slugging down a lot of beer so his wife gave him the ultimatum, and I filled the frig with NA beer. He values his marriage so he quit alcohol cold turkey and keeps the fur shed stocked with Busch NA. She’s proud of him and I’m glad for him too.

Why don't you put a little credit in the Bible? Where it talks about the Israelite's and the palestinians, not ever having peace peace peace. There is no peace. It stems all the way back to abraham.And his wife's hand maden'

I saw an un believable setup several years ago. There was an Amish family who owned a huge carpentry and cabinet shop and business. They hired drivers to get them to the sites. They remodeled my brother' place. We stopped in at the main shop. Tlhere was a huge shed probably 120-160 feet long and 40 wide. There were two huge generators at one end that ran lights and two long shafts that ran most of the way down the shop. Attached to those shafts were belts than ran the most up to date, sophisticated cabinet equipment, lathes etc. that I had ever seen. I don't recall exactly how many crews were sent out but I saw over a dozen just working in the shop when I was there.

Nephew that NA beer has you talking like a financial genius. Geopolitical engineer.
You guys talk about refinery. South Ky and northern Tennessee are full of mom and pop refineries that big oil bought and closed. One’s that wouldn’t sell big oil had the politicians regulate them out of business

I think he may well have during the 70s and early 80s when more fur was being harvested. He ran a small or short route during the early 90s in our area. By the late 90s I think most fur came to him. I know he did stop in Sheboygan a couple times. I started trapping in the area where I live in 1980. We had 6 fur buyers within 20 miles of my house, including Les. There were also a couple buyers who ran routes from the Oskosh area back then too. Sure was a lot different then. I don't remember when GFW started their routes in our area, but they had 3 stops within about 20 miles of where Les bought. He did say that really lowered the amount of fur that came to him, especially coons as GFW could finish them so much cheaper than those without automation could.

I was at the Ohio Nut Growers Association meeting yesterday. They had the same looking tree tubes for sale there. I almost bought them. After seeing that, I'm glad I didn't.

It was a good time. I got to talk to a lot of people with similar interests. I talked to the president of the North American pawpaw Association, who showed me on his phone some of the hypocotyl grafting of American chestnuts he's experimenting with Ohio State on. They are hoping by by grafting infant American Chestnut seedlings on infant Chinese chestnut root stock, they can limit blight. The graft union should heal fully and not be a weak spot for infection to enter through. My black walnut seedlings, that I am going to hypocotyl graft, just started popping up today. We did well selling plants there. I got a large number of scions to graft and some pawpaw seeds. They also made me a Trustee for the Association.
