Those ships carry so much cargo that the cost of fuel spread over the price of goods is negligible. My MBA classmate did an analysis years ago on the shipping industry that concluded if you filled a cargo ship to capacity with beer and shipped it from China to Long Beach, the cost of fuel would be $0.01 per can of…

“diagnose what went wrong with the car”

I don’t want a large Farva. I want a goddamn 12,000 liter cola.

It looks like a single panel, but there’s actually three sections, a windshield, a middle section above the driver (which Tesla noted can be optioned for metal), and the rear window.

Wrong tool for the job. Industry standard is to NEVER use a piece of equipment like a trackhoe/backhoe around a live pipeline like this. When digging around a live pipeline you use a giant pressure washer and vacuum to suck up the mud to prevent this very thing from happening.

You out of gas?

And people wonder why the folks at Standing Rock are so opposed to a pipeline.

Don’t worry, people of the south, I hear fuel deliveries are already on their way, with escorts for protection.

The fact that you or anyone else thinks this conclusion was the result of a three-minute conversation is laughable. The math in a pet-project movie meant to get a conversation started is not indicative of any sort of cohesive plan - it’s just a number to reach and to get the conversation started. This -

But then the lithium wars will come - that kind of sounds like a star trek plot

That’s significantly cheaper than our last/current war.

Ahem, Kompressor
