Days, nights, weekends... pretty much any time. That's the oil industry. On call 24/7 and they pay you for it. There were quite a few days in was in the office/shop at 8, worked all day, went home, ate dinner, got the call, went back to the shop and out on a job, got home at 6, took a shower and a 2 hour nap and went back to work.
More than likely the reason their body doesn't make enough of the right enzymes to take care of the milk is that they didn't get the genetic mutation that allows 25% of the world to process lactose past infancy. If you are able to digest dairy, you're the weird one.
I don't know what your internships were in, but I was making $2500-$3500 a month with free housing. Not spectacular compared to a real job, but enough to fully fund a Roth IRA and still cover beer money for the following school year.
The river will continue to work, assuming you can reach it.
The 1812 New Madrid quake caused part of the Mississippi to flow backwards for a time to fill Reelfoot lake. Between that and any collapsed bridges, I wouldn't be so sure the river would be navigable immediately.
Because, as a bunch of other people have said above, there is no requirement for a natural-born citizen to know English. It would be pretty impressive to live here for 18 or more years and not pick it up, but it is entirely possible in certain areas of Texas, and more than likely other places as well.
If you're stalkerish enough to figure out who I am IRL from my comments I don't have my facebook pictures blocked. Unfortunately for you, the nice thing about being married is that I don't really give a flip whether you agree with his opinion or not.
The article mentions hip-to-waist ratio as a strong indicator of attractiveness, so I'd say you're exactly right. And I speak as a wide-hipped thin lady (although missing the component up top to be a true hourglass figure, I've still never had any complaints.)
I really don't give a rat's ass who's where in the top 20 or so. I'd wager they're all pretty nice, and I'm fully aware of the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. It's still not my preferred style of government, but if it works for you, more power to you. Heck, if I could get my husband to leave the city he was born in, I'd love to put in for a transfer to that area of the world.
You keep posting this like it's some huge smackdown. Per that listing, Finland ranks 12th in the world. The US ranks all of 13th. I'm sure there are individual categories in which they far outrank us, but overall, your point isn't worth much.
Or... judging by the reactions of most here, Haynesville is an awful documentary, because the conclusion it comes to is pro-natural gas. I would still recommend watching it just to see the coonasses in their native environment, which I submit that most here would find hilarious.
Halliburton did buy Boots & Coots in mid-April, which is a fairly prominent well control company. For anyone who is trying to draw the link you were not, Boots & Coots is not the well control company BP is using for the Deepwater Horizon. They are using Wild Well Control.
Ummm.... no, actually. Some are, probably, but I really like living and generally prefer not to cut corners that could result in me dying, ergo, these corners are not cut on my platform. Anyone who would like to, I will run off. I also know that my bosses understand that the costs associated with a disaster of this proportion could pay for a hell of a lot of safety expenses.
Pigs go in pipelines. What you are calling pigs are simply referred to as plugs on every rig I've ever been on and are generally manufactured in bright colors and made out of different types of rubber than an annular, which is typically black. I have only heard the generic "rubber" used to describe what was brought to surface, but I would think the mudman would be able to tell the difference.
What you're neglecting is that this isn't gravel to dam a lake, it's gravel to dam a firehose. If you can't get the first bits of gravel to stay in the area long enough for later bits to fall on top, you can't make any progress.
First, it's CEMENT, people, not concrete. They are not the same thing.
Halliburton gets a pass because they were doing what they were doing on the express written direction of BP engineers. Secondly, a poor cement job is not some amazingly unusual event. It can be rectified when the problem is discovered. This is why we use two barriers.
This.
Although the numbers you're looking for are even worse than you're thinking. Between June 2007 and February 2010, OSHA recorded 851 willful violations at refineries. 829 of those were at BP refineries. Sunoco came in second, with eight. Source
As an employee of one of the companies you listed, do I think we would have handled the cleanup better, probably not. Do I think we would have had better preventative measures and emergency procedures to keep the situation from escalating to the current mess? Absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt. The accounts I have read of what was going on at the times surrounding the incident terrify me. Beyond even the engineering shortcuts taken, the idea that you need permission to hit the Emergency Shut Down was supposed to have died with the 167 men lost in the Piper Alpha disaster 22 years ago. If a lowly galley hand on my platform is the first to see a problem, I expect him to hit the ESD and then call the Control Room, not waste time runnning around in search of the only two people on the platform with the authority, who have to both agree to hit it.
Ummm..... what exactly do you think is happening on the Discoverer Enterprise to the oil/water mix collected by the skimmers and RITT? There's a bit more to it, but it's more or less what you're suggesting.

IAH went with this system for all intents and purposes. Theirs is metal like any other road sign, but it's a permanent display.

Earl got awful close this year.

But what about when the component experiences plastic strain?

It would only take 30 years to get the $150k in $5k at a time.
A coworker of mine who emigrated from South Korea has problems too.
That is actually a really good explanation.

Haynesville is another good relevant documentary.
