This has the stamp of the bad Orange Man on it. The move will create a gap in the nickel market of 100,00 tonnes a year, Colin Hamilton, a managing director of commodities research at BMO Capital Markets, told the FT. “This cuts off one of the major sources of raw material to the Chinese nickel pig iron industry.” Nickel… Read more »

This is a massive feat of engineering. This is a really cool video of Shell decommissioning its Bravo platform in the North Sea. They lift the entire thing off it supports and ship it back to land in order to recycle up to 98% of the materials.

Tedtam, prayers for you and your extended family. My aunt has been more fortunate than Trey with her brain cancer. She is in remission after undergoing chemo over the summer. Today they took stem cells from her blood. On Thursday of this week, she should start two more rounds of a very aggressive form of chemo.  The oncologist wants her… Read more »

Watch out for Fernand.  He’ll sneak up on you and get you while you’re not paying attention.

It would seem that if BCS and Co. survived after perpetrating their previous atrocities, they might be in good shape on this one.

But on second thought, this one involves a child.

The Domestah might just snap.

I’ll pitch in a hundred, to start.

When we first learned about Trey’s cancer and that he was being treated at Texas Children’s Hospital on the recommendation of his doctor, BCS suggested that they should take him to MDA instead and that TCH was a mistake. It was explained to her that there was a specific doctor at TCH that his physician wanted him to see. I… Read more »

I enjoyed this look-back at the Stuxnet virus, with new-to-me details of how large a group was working on that project.

Just received this update on my grand-nephew. I hadn’t heard about him in a while: Update on Trey. This past Friday the 30th, we received word that Trey, at home, had suffered a grand mal seizure and by ambulance taken to Texas Children’s Hospital. He was unconscious for 20 minutes but they were able to stop the seizure. They thought… Read more »

I just opened my wallet and found confetti from the Candytopia exhibit there. It was from the confettie-farting candy pigs there.

Nothing like extending the love by finding good memories tucked in among my credit cards. 😀

The real damage to the US mainland may be avoided.

And today is Handsome Son’s birthday. Twenty-nine years ago I evicted him from his comfortable surroundings, even though it was obvious he didn’t wanna go. Appropriately, he was born on Labor Day, after 25 1/2 hours of labor. PS: My regular doctor was, once again, out of town when I went into labor. Unlike Lovely Daughter’s delivery, he never made… Read more »

#7 I could be wrong, BUT, the longer it is stationary or nearly so, the more heat energy it sucks out of the immediate environment I heard on the radidio on the way home from hugging grandbabies that since Dorian was moving so slowly, it may be taking the heat out of the water and causing an upwelling of cooler… Read more »

It looks like Dorian is becoming a bit more disorganized, particularly the eyewall. I could be wrong, BUT, the longer it is stationary or nearly so, the more heat energy it sucks out of the immediate environment and the faster it spins itself out. Not out of danger yet by any stretch and Bahamas got slammed and smashed. The real… Read more »

Morning gang.  Don’t look now but Dorian’s little sister is spinning up in the Caribbean and planning to sneak up into Texas before long – well they said northern Mexico, but it’s the same thing.  I’m guessing that when Dorian finally leaves the Bahamas there won’t be any more Bahamas.  That’s going to be real bad and very sad.  OK,… Read more »

This local story has gone national on the Daily Wire. The couple was married in August 2017 and divorced two months later, in October. The final divorce settlement, according to KTRK, required Athans to pay his ex $3,000 a month in spousal support. He told the outlet that “the appeals process would take up to two years, which is going to… Read more »

Yesterday, I forgot to mention Jalen Hurts’ performance on Sunday, my boy is a fan and texted me Sunday night, play-by-play of the game. Jalen, sat on the bench all last year and stepped in the game, in the fourth quarter, to win the S.E.C. for Alabama against Georgia. He stayed with Alabama all year and left after the season… Read more »
