Deep-down, true blue my entire life. Do not follow me if you don't care about misinformation or get offended when offered facts. When one 'gets it wrong', admit the error & correct the record. That's honesty combined with maturity.

My husband was gifted an ugly captain’s chair to commemorate 25 years with his organization. I let him keep it only if he promised to keep his “can re-wear” pile on the chair and off the floor.

I was a history major. I love history . Because I love John McPhee, I bought Annals of the Former World but I couldn’t get past the first 10 pages. I gave it away. Need to buy it again and give it another go.

Never in my long life have I had a micron of interest in geology. Now I am listening to Geology Bites, a phenomenal podcast, and my husband and I are constantly talking about rocks, tectonic plates, how the earth was formed, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. you should give it a listen.

I had the same question - & my issue was converting tonnes to barrels. According to CNN, 800k tonnes of diesel (the 1st two shipments from Russia) equals 6 million barrels, or about a day and a half of supply at current US consumption rates. www.cnn.com/2026/10/09/p...

Trump wrote on social media that Putin agreed to “immediately supply” more than 300,000 tons of diesel to global energy markets, with another 500,000 tons promised in November. Together, the amounts — equal to 6 million barrels of diesel fuel — would cover about a day and a half worth of US demand, according to the US Energy Information Administration.“We are talking PERHAPS a 5-6% increase in supply between now and year end,” Dan Pickering, founder and chief investment officer at Pickering Energy Partners, said about the the president’s announcement in an email.

“Bottom line — this is helpful but not a needle mover for global diesel markets,” Pickering said. “Sidenote — there is a reason Trump talked about volumes in tons instead of barrels. The tons number looks bigger to a general observer. This is more politics than a game changer.”

I’m reading that 300k tonnes of diesel fuel will last no more than a day or 2. Anyone have any solid info on that? Social media “experts” are not my jam.

Assuming Ukraine doesn’t destroy more or all the Russian refineries, the likelihood that the fuel will reach the U.S., it takes at least 21 days for a tanker to reach the U.S. and offload the fuel. The election is in 24 days. That fuel won’t bring down diesel prices before the election.
