Gene Frenkle Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I thought liberals were incapable of hatred? No, you're thinking of Christians.

KD in CA Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 So you're hating Obama then too right? But Obama's drilling is different. He's trying to make the world safe for kittens and unicorns.

KD in CA Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 There is a list of things I'm not happy with Obama about. He has not given a press conference is almost a year now? That's not very transparent of him. ... but, it's not like Republicans have ever put anyone even close to qualified up for nomination. Don't hurt yourself ducking the question.

Now if we can only find a running back that dodge defenses the way you just dodged my question we'd be SB Champs for sure.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 No, you're thinking of Christians. Not according to liberals I'm not. You (the royal YOU) think we're all hood-wearing thugs out to repress gays and non-believers.
Booster4324 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Not according to liberals I'm not. You (the royal YOU) think we're all hood-wearing thugs out to repress gays and non-believers. Who said anything about a hood? Psst, don't think there is a royal "you."
DC Tom Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 There is a list of things I'm not happy with Obama about. He has not given a press conference is almost a year now? That's not very transparent of him. Ah, yes, the press conference metric. The ability to deliver canned answers in response to pre-screened questions. The true measure of leadership. It pains me that the electorate is so !@#$ing stupid as to consider that meaningful. ... but, it's not like Republicans have ever put anyone even close to qualified up for nomination. Clean up your own house. Let the Repubs worry about theirs.
/dev/null Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Who said anything about a hood? Christians were the original Boyz in Da Hood
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Psst, don't think there is a royal "you." I know.
Booster4324 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Christians were the original Boyz in Da Hood I know. What? Did you two split my post? "I will take that half, you take the other."
/dev/null Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 What? Did you two split my post? "I will take that half, you take the other." Yes. It was one of the jobs created as part of the Stimulus Bill, didn't you read it?
Booster4324 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Yes. It was one of the jobs created as part of the Stimulus Bill, didn't you read it? Ahhh loose Change® you can believe in.
Booster4324 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Link BP, the oil giant responsible for the spill, isn't committing to any firm number. Company spokesman John Curry has insisted that the figures he and his colleagues have consulted are simply a "guesstimate" and added that "there's a range of uncertainty, and it's very difficult to accurately gauge how much there is." That sounds remarkably weaselish. One guy, hopefully a crackpot, is estimating 20 million gallons already.
DC Tom Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Link That sounds remarkably weaselish. Probably accurate, though. It can't possibly be easy to judge the rate of leakage from a well a mile down based on what you see on the surface. One guy, hopefully a crackpot, is estimating 20 million gallons already. 25000 barrels a day? As I recall, a productive Saudi well is about 10-12000 barrels per day. 25000 is one seriously productive well. Really, it sounds like a story where they just found the most alarmist guy they could and ran his estimate, just for sensationalism's sake.
Booster4324 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Probably accurate, though. It can't possibly be easy to judge the rate of leakage from a well a mile down based on what you see on the surface. After reading more, it seems BP has had video from the spill all the time (well for a while). From the original article I linked. Now this calls into question, how close are these subs? Anyway, it would seem to be more accurate info than what the surface guys have. BP has monitored the leaks 24 hours a day using cameras mounted on submarines at the mouth of the spill, but it has rebuffed requests from both academic researchers and news organizations to share access to the footage. The submarines are owned by Oceaneering International, a company contracted by BP to operate them. An Oceaneering International employee told ABC News that he "could walk right down the hall and watch" the footage coming from the bottom of the Gulf, but "can't share it without BP's express permission." They actually just released some video, here. Maybe they are getting this from remotes operated from the sub? 25000 barrels a day?

Really, it sounds like a story where they just found the most alarmist guy they could and ran his estimate, just for sensationalism's sake. I really hope you are right. Should be interesting to see what the experts make of a video announced on Twitter.

All but experts will just use that to validate their preconceived notions of how good/bad the situation is. I really hope you are right. Should be interesting to see what the experts make of a video announced on Twitter. Hell, I couldn't even give you a rough order-of-magnitude estimate with that clip, and I actually know something about fluid dynamics. I doubt there are any "experts" at estimating high pressure oil leaks from broken pipes a mile under the ocean at 150 atmospheres pressure. Basically...we don't know. Simple as that. We just don't know. 25000 barrels/day doesn't exactly pass the smell test, though. But then, well production isn't the same as oil gushing from an unsecured hole in the ground, either.
