NotThePars Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Got sent this today. Some people are batshit mental. Something incredibly small time about a person if this specific fuel shortage is what wakes you up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Surely Big Oil would need to figure out a way to get people to drive more to make that work? You can only put a tanks worth in a motor and there can't be that many utter roasters filling up cola bottles. If we have passed peak oil it's more likely that oil derived fuels are going to be restricted so they can be used by militaries, merchant shipping and flying billionaire's child sex slaves around the world rather than burned up so folk can go to the BK drive through then up to Car Park In The Sky.

ICTChris Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 roasters filling up cola bottles. My mates brother used to work in a petrol station and you’d periodically get people trying to fill up non-standard receptacles, then being puzzled or raging when they weren’t allowed. His favourites were a saucepan and an empty crisp packet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I did not know this. The history of the USA from 1776 is largely the US state murdering people who live in the USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 They do the same still here, it's meths (methylated spirits). Not sure if the Yanks coloured it purple to warn people not to drink it or the bootleggers just removed the dye. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denatured_alcohol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Every now and then the US will admit to having killed, tortured, and/or experimented on many of its own citizens, and it always seems to be met with the response of, "it's really awful to see what our government was doing to us in the past. Such a shame that this information was only released after the people responsible were dead/too old and gaga to prosecute*. Thank God those days are gone and all these state-sponsored policies and programs have ended." Meanwhile, the spooks and federal government employees approaching retirement shuffle their feet nervously. Edit: *or, even more worryingly, never broke any laws in the first place.

DiegoDiego Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I took a shared taxi in Uzbekistan a couple of years back and we ran out of fuel about six kilometres short of Termez. Luckily we weren't far from a petrol station and had stopped next to a cafe.The driver went into the cafe and returned with four litre bottles of beer. After finishing our beer the now over-the-limit driver wandered down the road to fill the empties with fuel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This video came up on my YouTube rotation yesterday. Explains in the first three minutes why nobody can prove the existence of Bigfoots and, I have to say, I'm right behind Biggie's quest for truth now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 BoE already talking about placing restrictions on digital currency effectively creating different categories of money. Eg. Money with a time limit before it expires, money that can't be exchanged for another currency, money that can only be spent on certain goods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that would technically be money, although there's no single agreed definition of what money actually is. Finally the Tories get to issue food stamps to the feckless and look all modern and techy at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The Manchester bomber's brother was allowed to leave the country rather than give evidence to the public inquiry. What a surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
