natural gas project in the United Arab Emirates

So instead of investing in renewables and trying to help Japan become energy independent, while providing jobs for Japanese workers, Mitsui will spend billions to keep Japan more dependent on a foreign nation. Thereby further enriching UAE's so-called royals whose allegiances vary with the winds. Plus the UAE is located in a risky area where wars over control of gas/oil and their shipment have been commonplace. The UAE has sent its military forces to Yemen to fight alongside Saudi Arabia in a war that is devastating Yemen. How will the gas be transported to Japan, all methods and routes involve risks. Long passed time to move out of the fossil era, and stop making the global fossils, especiall the oil/gas fossils richer so they can fight more wars.

Feigning confusion will not get you points with a just god. And neither will pretending you know more about god than I do.

Not sure what you are ranting about, but stick to the thread, you seem confused.

Have you been making up stories about being imprisoned?

No reason to, I don't know you so...

Well, there’s the definitive answer to what everyone already knows.

Yes, and?

Don't worry, it got suddenly 'expunged' when it became a bit embarrassing. 

Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Seems like it's been unexpunged again though.

True.

Last year you said it was “30 days in the clink.”

No.

You said you spent a month in jail for a traffic offense. 

True

"Stations will include both CCS and NCAS connectors to support all battery EV drivers."

That, and "30,000," are what I wanted to know. At some point, perhaps everyone making EVs will agree on just one plug type?

Will definitely watch it soon.

Interesting to follow b4f's comments. I too knew many famous people back in the day. My observation was that among the actual stars, they were overwhelmingly very nice people. I can only think of one person, admittedly talented, who was consistently rude and unpleasant to be around. I did meet a lot of people who one might call "flakes," but they were always the hangers on, not the actual stars.

It was, to me, a very pleasant surprise to discover that the people who made Hollywood famous were so friendly, and a pleasure to be around. If they were not so famous, they would have made great neighbors and friends.

Keto and Paleo diets are usually pushed by the same types who fall for the conspiracy theories etc.

Oh, you mean they are less likely to blindly follow mainstream narratives?

A friend did the Paleo diet and despite his doctor telling him it was his diet causing repeating kidney stones, he refused to believe it. What a tit.

Well, according to kidney.org

"Possible causes [of kidney stones] include drinking too little water, exercise (too much or too little), obesity, weight loss surgery, or eating food with too much salt or sugar. Infections and family history might be important in some people. Eating too much fructose correlates with increasing risk of developing a kidney stone."

So assuming the story is true and that he is your friend, you should tell him to switch from paleo to keto, or better yet to carnivore...

No hero of mine, not even close.

alleged mistreatment ".....talk about a loaded headline....no wonder hardly anyone with a functional brain cell believes our " unbiased " mainstream media.

Typical MAGA-Gov buck passing....

The left can't talk.

The far-right can't write...

Abbott has had three years to better prepare Texas' electrical infrastructure since the last disaster he failed at - you know, the one where Ted Cruz went MIA in Cancun...

That the Democrats pushed him and the Republicans into believing that Chinese renewable turbines were the best solution? It didn't work out so well

Completely debunked....

But as we've seen, Red State Govs prefer the useless culture wars to bamboozle the MAGA-masses as opposed to actual competent governing...

Seems like half the country agrees with them, and again, the left can't make any comments on competent governing when Democrats ruined two of the largest states in the union

Far-right fairy tales....try again...

There's no excuse this time - Abbott has plenty of time to fix this - and he didn't - the blame all falls on him and his bumbling administration...

You are right

Thanks for agreeing with me...

Texans deserve better...

Now the left cares about Texas??? 3 and a half years too late for that.

He screwed it up three years ago and still didn't fix it - it's all on him...

I never mentioned Putin. I don't think so and how the heck did he get into the conversation?

See, and I believe in an "eye for an eye" all the way, you should suffer badly if you murder someone. I am not encouraging vigilantism, but if there is a story of someone giving a person back what they did to them, then that was their karma. it is what it is.

Ahh Legrande...I believe Japan colonized both parts of Korea, including the south.

The North had the crap bombed out of it by the US and allies in the Korean war in the 50's.

That would be on the North's mind I guess.

And rightly so: South Korea's border was restored and the North ain't launching any invasions now.

My close friend attempted to swim from Akashi to Awaji, in Hyogo. The channel is extremely busy with ships and boats, and there are also very strong currents, which ultimately swept him away to Okayama 9 hours later.

No. I’m against the death penalty. Murder is wrong in every circumstance. 

I’ve said this every time the death penalty is discussed and I like to be consistent.

See, and I believe in an "eye for an eye" all the way, you should suffer badly if you murder someone. I am not encouraging vigilantism, but if there is a story of someone giving a person back what they did to them, then that was their karma. it is what it is.
