I don't know, maybe sometimes we read news that may not be true.
Well I don't know if it's true or not, I'm just saying that since Iran already has the capability to make their own drones that are very effective judging by the way Russia used them in Ukraine, it would seem highly unlikely they would by a boatload of them from China. I'm not saying they didn't because I don't know it for a fact to be true or false, I'm just saying it seems unlikely.

Protestants giving up something for Lent is hilarious!
I usually give up sniffing glue, popping pills, you know, the list from Airplane.
I notice you like Westerns. Ever read the Lonesome Dove books by McMurtry?
I'm not a big duster fan when it comes to reading but one time my neighbor gave me a cowboy book and said I should really read it. I did and I must say I enjoyed it. It was called The Cowboy and the Cossack by Clair Huffaker. It was a good read.

ok so i got the ok from my friend to post this here
/sorry its a little dated but he know oil and how it works

"
Chevron has a giant refinery near LAX that produces over 1300 gallons of gasoline per second.
All of the crude oil feedstock comes from California; Chevron owns most of its oil fields and sells crude to itself at spot market prices.
All of the refinery’s gasoline output goes to Southern California markets.

The refinery makes 87 octane generic gasoline and it goes to a giant terminal near downtown where the tanker trucks fill up.
Any retailer can contract gasoline from this terminal.
It is only here when gasoline becomes “branded” such as Chevron fuel or Exxon fuel etc.
These are proprietary additives mixed into the tanker containing special detergents and octane boosters and so forth.
Premium gasoline is made here during the mix, not at the refinery.
So Chevron trucks are loaded here, but so can Exxon trucks and Costco trucks and any other retailer.

Retailer’s have to “move product” because gasoline does indeed go stale; they also have fixed delivery contracts so there has to be room in the underground tanks for the next delivery.
The fuel has to be priced high enough for a profit but low enough to actually sell it.
Costco gasoline is currently going for $5.19/gal and it may very well have come from the same Chevron terminal.

So why is this gasoline $7.23/gallon and who the fuck is buying it?"

California might be a unique case since California has for a long time now had environmental controls on vehicles and fuels due to how bad pollution was there in the past. I'm not sure how much if any that has changed. I would like to think that with all the tight controls it has significantly improved but since I live on the other side of the country I don't follow what goes on in California very closely. Also what I said with regards to American oil not being able to be refined in American refineries, that doesn't apply to all American oil, only roughly 30% which is about the same percentage that we export, due to the issue with the refineries.

Below is what I believe was the latest video on the topic that I've seen.

That 'Let it be Lowenbrau' jingle - is still stuck in my head

- and yeah - back home in England it was mostly hash toking - with the odd bit of Jamaican Collie Weed - and some very low quality African Bush 'erb - mostly sticks and seeds - so the 'erbal marijuana - Mexican - Columbian - Thai - and some of the first indoor green 'erb I ever tasted in the USA once there - was very interesting for me - and broadened my horizons - lol


we smoked weed in the 60’s to expand our minds , not to get high

turn on , tune in , and drop out

peace and love

all foundations of hippie-dom

and free love
