On June 18, 2026, Keith was found dead in his apartment in Nashville during a welfare check by the local police,[16][17] who stated that no foul play was suspected.[18] He was 29. As of June 20, the cause of death has not yet been determined, with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department noting that his death remains unclassified pending autopsy results

Planet Comics as a whole is a fun read (a few stories are lame, but not many). It's an anthology comic with most stories being 4-15 pages long. Gale isn't presented as a Damsel in distress, but as an early female action hero.

Her character was introduced in Planet Comics #4.

Her first episodes are 4 pages long. You'll have to skip from comic to comic. Amazon has a book with the collected stories (allegedly) for about $4. I'm cheap, so I don't know.

Johnson used the car model Terraplane as a metaphor for sex. In the lyrical narrative, the car will not start and Johnson suspects that his girlfriend let another man drive it when he was gone. In describing the various mechanical problems with his Terraplane, Johnson creates a setting of thinly veiled sexual innuendo.

Yes it will take time. But using your analogy, it's like a bakery that can shelve 200 loaves of bread with 3 good loaves remaining, and 50 moldy loaves of bread still on the shelf.

But in this case, if we don't just leave the loaves on the shelf, there's a process to recover 45 of those moldy loaves as good usable loaves.

Or we could just leave the moldy ones alone, because cleanup takes time and money. But we lose shelf space for good loaves and who knows what the the health risk is to the workers.

The sludge can eat away at the container, exposing the environment to toxins. It's also using a good deal of their storage. Their maximum is 75 million barrels, with 20 million barrels worth of sludge. That's product that can't be sold as is and is simply being stored.

First it says

In normal times, Cushing stores around 40 million barrels of oil with capacity of up to 75 million.

But then...

When Cushing’s reserves get below 20 million, they effectively hit empty, scraping the bottom of the barrel of what is largely unusable sludge.

From what I find, there is a way to reprocess the sludge, such as distillation and pyrolysis.

Floytweg claims it can recover up to 90%

The Flottweg Tricanter® system offers a comprehensive solution for oil sludge treatment, recovering approximately 90% of the oil from sludge in ponds, lagoons, or from crude oil tank cleaning. This not only recycles the oil as a valuable product but also significantly reduces the volume of solids to be disposed of, cutting down on transport, landfill, and incineration costs.

While I acknowledge there is a cost, the tanks could be cleaned and most of the oil recovered.

Whoa! A Whole 80 days?

Well, you can't say a former governor got off easy. Those 70 days will be pure hell.

I mean imagine how she'll feel serving that long 60-day sentence.

She could get out for good behavior, maybe after half of that 50-day sentence.

Of course, the judge might make her serve that whole month so that she can set an example.

That week will probably make her regret what she did.

That'll probably be the longest weekend of her life.

on What is SSH ? · c/ask · 9 pts · 52d

A shell (like a unix terminal) that gives you a secure way to do things, such as remotely logging in to another server, or executing commands remotely. With older programs like telnet, you had to login in the terminal passing your credentials without encryption. Secure Shell encrypts the stream to attempt to mitigate someone other than you from obtaining your credentials. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow it to authenticate the user, if necessary.

It all comes down to their specialty, right?

If they're moving product, you've got The Black Orchard (the growers) or The Phantom Crucible (the mad scientists). If it's a white-collar price cartel just chasing dollar signs, you want something like The Thorned Veil for that elegant, deceptive front, or The Broken Halo Network for a gritty, fallen-from-grace feel.

But if they're a territorial cartel? The kind where crossing a border gets you killed? Go with The Crimson Ledger—where every debt is settled in blood. Or The Ashen Wolves, because they will straight-up burn down your business if you trespass

Some scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, including Edward Teller, were concerned that the first atomic bomb test might ignite Earth's atmosphere and lead to a catastrophic chain reaction.

It did. We're in hell.

They won't tell you what really happened, because we're in hell.

Why does everything seem to get worse and worse? We're in hell.

Why doesn't anything get better? We're in hell.

Why can't we have things like they did in the good old days? We're in hell.

Anyone who argues against this is a demonic agent whom you cannot trust.
