What’s going on at 10-610? Just saw 30 cops head down 10 at the intersection.

Charles Tyrwhitt online. Used to get 4 shirts for $180 that fit well and last 4-5 years wearing once every two weeks for an office corporate job.

First Phillips 66, now Valero. Are there going to be any refineries left in California soon?
California passed a law blaming natural disasters on climate change with oil and gas companies to blame. Any future fires and the existing refineries will have to pay damages.

I work an office job. I’m at 1300 steps, but I do leave my phone at the desk a good bit. Still, not much movement and the real killer are the 1500 calories when I meet customers for lunch. I think this job is killing me slowly.
re: Anyone check the price of oil lately? Low $60's and falling. It's almost too low.

Covid ruined my career in upstream oil. I’m really happy I’m out of that industry. Money is good when it’s booming, then you’re looking over your shoulder for HR when oil drops.
Great experience overall and worked some fun and challenging international projects, but don’t miss the downturns. I’m seeing production, reservoir, and product engineers looking for new jobs on LinkedIn right now.

Nice. I’m buying a house soon and could use the lower rates.

I had one guy force us to raise prices by 25% in a highly competitive industry. I was forced to send a quote with new pricing to one of our largest customers. I didn’t receive an email or any communication for three months from the customer with zero orders. The consultant was kindly told to get the frick out and we spent the next 3 months smoothing out communications with the customer at original prices.

I sell to the plants along the gulf coasts. Everyone is miserable and just collects the paychecks because its worth it. Everyone is counting down to retirement or looking for a bigger paycheck at another plant.

Logic works. If you’re a liberal that hates the South then you also have to acknowledge Omar married her brother.

Me and the Mrs. Both have a house we’re trying to sell. The next house has a lower overall mortgage , but we will be paying the same combined monthly note. We will refinance when rates get back to less than 5% in 2-3 years.
Tons of people looking and getting mortgage approval right now in Louisiana.

What other honey pot is in the public media and scrutiny at this point? This is in focus and shite seems to be hitting the fan at the moment.
The outrage for Iraq Sesame Street doesn’t make sense due to dollar amounts as it’s jack shite. There’s more to the story with USAID and it’s going to come to light with more attention. You can hear the assholes puckering in DC at this point.

JFC, you people making such a big deal about USAID's $32 billion budget.
I understand your sentiment on the amount and the focus of this board in the dollar funds. The real story is that the cia and state department have been using specific ngos to get around what they can do legally. USAID funds propaganda farms around the globe for color revolutions and tipping the scales for “elected” officials.

This is where I think conservatives go too far. Let the gays get married and ruin their lives with divorces.
Then pass a law in congress, like they are supposed to. The Supreme Court can’t just wave a wand and makeup a law. There’s enough support now to pass a law for gay marriage.
