I do. Appearance matters. I don't want to run into someone I may know looking homeless.
If nobody cares then why is posting how bad people look when shopping in Walmart a thing?
It'll be waves. There's the initial "oh shit let's take advantage" price bump we might see this week. Then the actual price bump in a month or two if inventory is actually low. Keep in mind that it takes a while to refine oil into gas so volume won't be affected for a bit.
I'm with you, my dude. I always get comments when I change into actual clothes to run quick errands. I don't like going out in house clothes. I look like a hobo.
Drones did all that? Damn. Must have been packed full of explosives and hit the best places for maximum damage.
No crabs sadly.

Wait. So was there more attacks? This happened yesterday or the day before. The articles I read said it affected about 10% of the output.
They haven't settled on an international stock exchange yet, let alone a date. But it's expected to happen by the end of the year. It will almost certainly be the largest IPO ever.
It's going to be the new terror vehicle in our world now. Very scary stuff.
You never know when you're gonna bump into your supermodel wife at Wawa
Just put on same damn pants and a shirt and a hat and get out. That's what I did. Took me 5 minutes to go and get back.
Yemen is an Iran - Saudi proxy war. The entire reason why the Saudis wanted to start a conflict with Yemen was to reduce Iranian influence and prevent it, but "SHOCKINGLY" turning a next door neighbors into a pile of rubble makes them want to be much closer to your enemies, which is why Yemen has much deeper ties to Iran now.

The attack was much worse than the Saudis originally admitted. Which makes me doubt that they can restore production in a few days as well.
People were always laughing at what Iran could do in a conflict with the US.
There isn't even a formal war and a bunch of Iran backed rebels with drones just knocked out half of Saudi Arabias oil production. Iran is very capable of launching a massive asymmetric war on it's enemies with it's backed rebels, sleeper cells and general major disruption of the entire region.

Conspiracy but Israel and Saudi Arabia are dying to start a war with Iran.
This seems like a good way to go about that.
Oh I'm aware. I'm wondering if America's hawks'll let a good crisis go to waste so to speak
SA has been getting embarrassed in Yemen for a minute now.
From back in May:
lmao. Fuck Saudi Arabia and their ongoing genocide and the USA for assisting them for so many years.
Why would this be a situation that causes a war with Iran?
Yemen has encroached on actual Saudi land in the past with this conflict, this is isolated to Yemen / Saudi Arabia. That's why proxy wars exist.
I'm not really sure how to feel about this. It feels weird cheering for a war but lmao fuck SA.
If only there had been a good guy with a drone at this plant.
I dunno about where you live but in my area the price of gas is about 5-15 cents cheaper after 8pm. Always. I'm about a 2/3 empty but will wait till then to fill up.
The Saudis are so arrogant and incompetent. Getting clowned by the Houthis is hilarious, fuck MBS.
Oh shit son, its incredible how Iran has been able to support the houthis in yemen when so many countries in the region and around the world have move against them.
There's plenty of thought being put into drone defense (and probably more in the wake of this attack), and that might be one possibility, but defensive drones have the difficulty of having to be flying around all the time and having to generate dynamic takedown vectors.
Static defenses might end up being easier and cheaper. Some kind of mounted gun that detects drones and automatically downs them would probably be the simplest way (although as with any new system, "simplest" might still need a lot of work before being a real field-worthy solution).
Trust me, I laugh through gritted teeth. Yemen is probably THE reason why I'm not on speaking terms with Obama today...
And despite Yemen being the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world for the last 4 years, folks can still barely give a fuck.
Fuck Saudi Arabia.
Mitt Romney. IIRC, that was taken shortly after he lost the 2012 election.
