  • 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.





  • 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.

    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.
