[CONT] call, prompting aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to come to its aid, dispatching helicopters to deal with approaching Yemeni Navy vessels

If the US and the UK go through with this plan, the Yemenis will bomb oilfields across the Gulf. This is will increase global oil prices significantly and ultimately tanking the global economy. If you thought life is hard now, you're not ready for how bad things will get in 2024.

All Joe Biden has to do to stop the Red Sea blockade is lift the siege on Gaza.

This town has a smell at night. Something after ten pm changes on the wind. It isn’t an unpleasant smell but it’s not like anywhere else I’ve lived before. Its an old smell. A dusty smell. Something that rolls in like a tumble weed and leaves in the morning with its boots.

It makes you feel alive and surrounded by ghosts. Those of the old west, the Mexicans that once owned this land, all of the oilfield workers that died making this town what it is. There is blood on this soil. Blood a hundred years old and then some.

You wouldn’t know it. The run down streets, empty buildings ignored while money men cruise by in their Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Their Raptors and Hallcats. Dusty city be damned - they have their mansion.

This city is a ghost town haunted by the living. They will bleed that black life from the ground or go bankrupt trying. This a town built on hopes and dreams, and ghosts. This is Midland, Texas

have some booney baby lore.

boone was primarily raised by his grandparents in a double-wide down in ouachita county, arkansas. his mother was only a teenager when she had him; to her credit, she tried her best to raise him herself before realizing she was in over her head. she ended up handing him over to her parents to look after while she got her life in order. for the first couple of years, their contact was bare minimum until a little after boone’s 3rd birthday, when she got a stable office job down in magnolia. after that, she was still an infrequent presence throughout boone’s childhood at best but her visits were always a positive experience for him. inevitably, they did hit a rough patch during boone’s teenage years, however, that was over a decade ago; these days, they’ve worked out most of their issues and have a fairly healthy connection, even if their relationship is more like friends or siblings than mother-and-son. in contrast, boone’s grandfather still lives in camden and boone makes sure to always visit during the wranglers off seasons.

he’s fairly certain he has adhd but he’s never gotten an official diagnoses because, southern boy that he is, he doesn’t totally believe it’s a real thing. closest he’s gotten is when lily and dani made him take an online quiz and he got mad at the results for making it harder to ignore ( “whatever, man. they don’t know nothin'.” )

he’s never had any formal education past high school. he always struggled with school, not because he was stupid, mind you, or because the subjects weren’t interesting. he was never intentionally disruptive. it’s just his adhd made it hard and the public school system ( especially the small town public school systems of south-eastern arkansas ) wasn’t designed with kids like him in mind. he considered dropping out at one point ( during that aforementioned rough patch with his mother ) but luckily he stuck with it and he’s glad he did, even if his GPA wasn’t going to earn him any scholarships.

he began working in the ouachita county oilfields right out of high school as a transport driver but it didn’t take long for him to realize he fucking hated it. the money was good, sure, but the hours were torturous, the work backbreaking, and they didn’t appreciate his brand of ✨whimsy✨. he lasted a little less than a year before eventually leaving to find something else.

he drifted around a bit after that, doing odd jobs here and there for cash, until he eventually found steady work as a rodeo bullfighter ( or “rodeo clown” ). it was his job to draw the bulls away from downed contestants and provide comedic relief between shows. it was at one of these competitions that he met tyler owens. the two got along like a house on fire and remained friends long after tyler had to retire due to his injury. when tyler returned years later with a phd and an idea, boone wasted no time in joining his storm chasing crew.

boone will credit those shows for turning him into a bit of an adrenaline junkie, which made the transition into storm chasing way easier than it probably should have been for any sane person. he learned everything he knows about chasing from tyler and because of that, feels he can never quite repay him for helping him find something he’s good at. that boy is his ride or die.

On January 5th 1993 the Liberian registered oil tanker Braer hit rocks off the Shetland Islands.

At 05.19 hrs on Tuesday 5th January 1993, Lerwick coastguard were advised that a tanker, the Braer, en route from Mongstad, Norway to Quebec, laden with 85,000 tonnes of Norwegian Gullfaks crude oil, had lost engine power but was in no immediate danger. She had sailed from the Norwegian port on 3rd January intending to pass through the northerly Fair Isle Strait before heading into the open Atlantic towards her destination.

The journey up to this point had been fraught with problems as first four steel pipe sections which had been secured on the port side after deck broke loose and were dangerously rolling about on deck. Later on the 4th, after routine adjustments to the auxiliary boiler, difficulty was experienced in re-igniting it. This boiler was needed to pre-heat the heavy engine oil used to run the main engine and so the main engine was switched to lighter diesel fuel until the problem with the auxiliary boiler could be resolved. The final straw in this litany of problems occurred when seawater contamination in the diesel fuel stopped the engine and caused the main generator to fail at 4:40am on 5th January. It was later established that fuel lines had been damaged by the loose pipe sections allowing seawater to penetrate the fuel lines and contaminate the diesel fuel.

The ship was carrying twice as much oil as the official figure for what the infamous Exxon Valdez had spilled in Prince William Sound Alaska, just four years earlier and on the same latitude of 60 degrees north. Not surprisingly, reports about an iniment environmental disaster were extremely fearful, particularly when the ship became a total loss and the gale-driven fumes could be smelt as far away as Bressay.

By the following morning the bay was full of oil and the slick was spreading north and south from the bay along the Shetland coast. Critically however, the oil aboard, recently recovered from the North Sea oilfields, was not as heavy as crude oil from other oilfields and breakers that were smashing the Braer to pieces were, in fact, already helping to disperse the oil very quickly. The spillage was still enormous and very damaging but thankfully the final environmental impact was much less than was initially feared. The ship, in it’s very exposed position, finally broke on January 11th and most of it disappeared beneath the surface. Only the upturned bow was visible as a reminder of the loss of the ship and eventually, around seven years later, it too vanished beneath the waves.

Reports state only 1% of the oil washed up on the beaches, but there was still a large environmental impact. Over 7500 birds died from the spill and large amount of marine life was impacted as well.

Some 95 million USD were paid out in claims by those impacted by the spill.

thoughts on BLTs? i think they're life changing

Damn right they are.

I had one almost every day when I worked in the oilfields.

[strigital]

real talk tho, i am immensely grateful to the poles for managing to bag good sir Keanu Reeves for Johnny's role.

besides the fact that he is a wonderful human creature and a bombastic actor, i just love LOVE his eyes on Johnny. because Keanu has the saddest and kindest eyes of any human out there, which is not surprising giving how much shit life threw at him and despite of it all he prevailed as an epitome of humility, kindness and just plain awesome (have you seen the interview where he just gushes out about bikes and his Arch business like an exited boy would about his collection of stamps? it's amazing and it has healing antidepressant powers, highly recommend). but our lord and savior the creator of CP77 Mike Pondsmith kinda made Johnny a giant dumbass asshole, right? but the the poles gave him a whiplash of a character arc (i weep whenever i remember the oilfields... oh the oilfields!!). so Keanu's beautiful eyes that saw plenty of life's tragedies yet are soulful and full of kindness and care just look so good on Johnny's tired-from-everything face. he may sass V all he wants, call them names, bitch, and whine, and talk shit, and make faces, but his eyes are always a spark of warmth against the backdrop of a dark uncaring city. it's fucken impossible to look Johnny in the eye and not feel some sorta way! and when the plot demands of Johnny to be vulnerable for a hot second and Keanu just does his VA magic and you look at that dirty old man it's like... your heart hurts, you know? you wanna give this sod at least a crumb of happiness - a kind word, a touch, something! or in other words: how good it is to live in a world where such a character is played by such an actor! i wholeheartedly believe had they chose some other guy i wouldn't adore Johnny nearly as much as i do right now. don't get me wrong, a Deadpool-esque Johnny played by Ryan Reynolds would be cathartic, and i'm sure that Johnny played by Johnny Depp would be beyond amazing but... i just utterly love Keanu's sad beautiful eyes on that "selfish" "terrorist's" face 😔💔

Johnny's Bender, Rogue, Johnny's Grave

Drinking, tattoos, and chatting up a stripper. Johnny was supposed to talk to Rogue...none of those things are 'talking to Rogue'

Getting into a car accident is also not 'talking to Rogue', Johnny....

Vilem wakes up with a wicked hangover, and to Rogue staring him down. Seemed Johnny did end up talking to her after all and gave her a lead to follow. Grayson. She said she would give him a call when she finds something.

Vilem is pissed at Johnny, but even more pissed at the sun for being too bright. His head is throbbing something awful.

Days later, Rogue tracks down Grayson to some big boat called Ebunike in a Maelstrom-controlled dock.

Rogue gives Vilem a replica of Johnny's old jacket. The rockerboy is impressed.

They wait for nightfall and sneak onto the Ebunike. They find Grayson and get some intel out of him on Smasher, as well as the location of Johnny's body. Rogue isn't happy and storms off.

Grayson also gave Vilem something extra. Johnny's Porsche. Vilem drives to the location given and finds himself in an Oilfield.

Johnny, for the first time since he landed in Vilem's head, sees things clearly. He sees how much of an asshole he's been to everyone in his life. Vilem gives him a dose of tough love on top of that, reminding him that he fucked things up with him too.

Johnny wants to make amends with those in his life he hurt. He wants to fix things with Vilem, be given a chance to at least. Vilem tells Johnny that this is his only chance to make things right.

Johnny swears to make things right and do right by Vilem if he gets help with making things right with those he hurt during his life. Starting with Rogue.

My Life Story

Hello Everyone I Hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share a glimpse of my life's journey—a journey that began on an Alberta farm and has led me down a winding path filled with challenges, accomplishments, and change.

At the tender age of 4, my mother introduced me to the world of machinery, teaching me to shift gears in our trusty old five-ton grain truck as we chased cattle across the vast expanse of the Battle River pasture area. Those early lessons ignited a lifelong passion for farming, trucking, and a myriad of other skills that farming life demands.

After graduating from Paradise Valley High School, I embarked on a journey that took me from the farm to the world of drilling rigs. I split my time between working on the rigs and helping out on the farm whenever I could—a balancing act that taught me valuable lessons in time management and hard work.

However, life has a way of presenting unforeseen challenges. The world of drilling rigs was soon overshadowed by personal hardships. The passing of my beloved mother due to cancer was a heart-wrenching chapter in my life, and it was followed by the emotional toll of a divorce.

In search of better opportunities and a fresh start, I made the pivotal decision to leave Alberta behind and venture to British Columbia. There, I delved into the world of logging, exploring the beautiful landscapes of Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile, Prince George, and Mackenzie, often navigating off the beaten path. Logging was physically demanding, but it brought a profound sense of accomplishment.

Yet, the call of the oilfields in Fort St. John beckoned me back. The allure of steady work and financial stability led me to return to the world of tanking. It was a decision that allowed me to regain my footing, secure my future, and thrive in the industry.

Throughout my life, I've worn many hats—trucker, equipment operator, mechanic, gardener, and more. I've spent countless nights sleeping in my truck and embraced the camaraderie of life in remote camps. These experiences have shaped me, but as time passes, I find myself ready for a change.

This is why I've decided to part ways with my tanker, side dump, and soon, my meticulously rebuilt 2003 378 Peterbilt Winch Tractor. Each of these vehicles represents a chapter in my life—a chapter of hard work and dedication.

In closing, I want to express my gratitude for being a part of my journey. The road has been long and filled with twists and turns, but it has also been a journey of growth and resilience. As I step into this new phase of life, I'm excited to see where the road leads next.
