To bradorsomething: That "former" is probably the most important word in that whole post. I can't remember the last time I pumped a crosslink job. It's all slickwater in the shale plays nowadays. I've never seen a 2 stage frac either. We always just pump a temperature activated breaker.
Translation for everyone else: We don't pump goopy snot anymore. Most jobs I pump the water has a viscosity of 2 cP (a slight increase due to the friction reducer being pumped at 0.1%). When we start pumping gel, we bring it all the way up to 6 cP.
What you're missing is the definition of reserves. The SEC only allows oil companies to book proven reserves (P90). Obviously at any given time there has been more oil out there the oil company was pretty sure of (eg P50) but couldn't prove up to a P90 level and therefore wasn't included in your estimate. Over time, they gained more knowledge and were able to book some of that oil they couldn't previously.
Where do you live? I'm guessing your summer doesn't involve triple-digit temperatures, does it? I sweat standing outside for 16 minutes, much less biking.
No one is intentionally sending the nation into poverty to clear the air. However, if you consider that the recent recession was caused and extended in large part by high oil prices and then consider that most renewable resources were still not competitive on price, it doesn't bode well. Granted, that changeover is going to happen sooner or later, so we will have to deal with it at some point regardless.
I suspect this meant more for a student who has a class in BUILDING NAME/INTERSECTION 10 minutes from now. I would hope that you wouldn't have to tell people to hit the deck when they hear gunfire.
In regards to the question of whether we're in more danger than we were in years past, I would agree that we are not, but point out that if UT had had such a system in 1966, it might have saved some people then, too.
As an American I've been advising my friends not to donate funds to Japan relief. Why would you need monetary aid in a macro scale, seriously? ...
What you need, what Japan needs is food aid, rescue aid, salvage aid, _frank_ nuclear advise aid, _immediate_ potable water aid. IOW, the life or death shit that any nation might have less than infinite numbers.
The nifty thing about money is that it's a lot more portable than food or water. If I in the US donate water, it has to be shipped halfway around the world. If I donate money, it appears instantaneously in the account of a charity who can then use said money to buy water in an unaffected part of Japan or a nearby country and ship it only a few hundred miles. More precisely, most large charities are using up their supply of emergency cash, so donating is really preparing for the next major tragedy.
Yes, there was torture by the CIA in Guatemala... 20 years ago. If you've got stories of newer stuff, link those. GGP is clearly talking about Guantanamo, for a variety of reasons. I'm pretty sure there weren't a whole lot of Muslims involved in the Guatemalan civil war, Dubya hadn't even gotten into politics at that point, and the story he is referring to in the original comment is Guantánamo Detainee Release Blocked by Appeals Court
No reason we couldn't drill on land except the average well offshore produces thousands of barrels a day, while the average well onshore produces approximately three barrels of oil a day. We could do it, but that would be an awful lot of wells.
I wish they worked with us. Trust me. They're definitely incompetent. The prior combination of incompetent and lazy meant that the desk jockeys approved everything rather than actually learn something and the guys in the field just looked for non-grounded equipment and checked the dates on certification rather than anything that would materially affect well control. This may have looked the same as bought, but it's not. The current combination of incompetent and scared means that the desk jockeys still don't know what they're looking at so they blanket deny everything. Either way, they're still incompetent because they pay way less than the oil companies and they don't want to hire anyone who does know what they're doing because they got the knowledge working for the oil companies.
Somebody wants my purse, no problem, take it. Somebody wants my body, there's going to be hell to pay. I'm 5'4", 125 lbs and way out of practice with my martial arts, so I may not win, but at least I won't be conscious when I lose. Frankly, having been through a relatively minor sexual assault a few years ago where I chose not to make a scene, the idea of dying fighting doesn't seem too bad compared to living after a rape.
Amen. Houston eliminated the tolls on the Beltway after Ike to get more people off the surface roads with the stoplights out. I don't even believe in God and I was praying nightly for the return of the tolls. All those extra idiots tripled my commute time. I will gladly pay $9 a day to shorten my commute an hour each way.
You don't ID the person whose profile the picture came from, you ID the person with the tag box around their head. In case it's a bad picture, they give you multiple pictures for each person - four, I think.
Players' winnings aren't taxable? Only if you have enough losses to cancel them out. Guess I'll just throw out that 1099 if I ever win over $600. Even if you don't win over $600, your winnings are still taxable, you just don't get a 1099 to help you remember. I will be reporting the $4.25 I was up at the tables last year.

If they don't understand the basic principle of cause and effect, punishment's not going to fix it either.

How exactly do you propose they move one of these containers while at sea? The force?
Eh, only 144,000 people get raptured. That would barely be a blip, even if they were all Americans.

This was my first thought as well.

/sigh.... Geography, people, it's not hard. Guatemala != Guantanamo. Guantanamo is in Cuba.
... Seriously? I'm pretty sure the US isn't torturing anyone in Guatamala.

I've never understood why people think there has to be a "why" they exist.

Point out to her that if she just leaves it pending, the supervisor can't send it again.

Aha! That's the game I used to play in high school. I couldn't remember the name, but I knew none of the others were it.
