Crude oil us primarily classified based on density and sulphur content. It’s all hydrocarbons and a portion of all of it can be turned into gasoline.
Only butt-munchers will reply to this comment about something vague regarding US gasoline production

But yes, it would have been nice to see democrats speaking up about workers wages & universal healthcare. Loudly, broadly and repeatedly.
If my eyes were sunken that far into my head, I would also be using eyeliner. No shame in wanting to look good.
Being Peter Thiel’s little couch fucking bitch on the other hand, that’s pretty fucking weird. Imagine being willing to do and say whatever, regardless of how racist or hateful it is, because there is more money in it.

You picked right up on that marching order, didn’t ya.

Sensitive spot, cat is overstimulated.
Zorg@lemmings.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to make my pumpkins last longer?21·8 months agoJust this year I learnt you should carve out the top (stem) part. Apparently there’s some nutrients/water, magic, or something, left in it; and if you leave it uncut it will help the rest of the pumpkin look better for longer.
Cut out the bottom, or a hole in the back, instead.
Zorg@lemmings.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What belief do you have two-sided opinions on?36·9 months agoDeath penalty
On one hand, I don’t believe capital punishment has any place in civilized society.
On the other, there are some in-human people (serial killers mainly, but including e.g. CEOs who have caused thousands of deaths to increase profits), where it just seems a waste of everyone’s time, to lock them away in a cell for decades. Some people are just completely beyond rehabilitation, and if they are proven guilty with 99.9+% certainty, what’s the point of locking then up and waiting for old age to do the job?

I’m not saying we should grind any living beings into pulp, but I’m pretty sure those meat grinders they throw male chickens into, already exist in very similar and much larger versions in various industries.
Citation needed.
But let’s humor your point. That is pretty awful, but what the fuck is the alternative? Voting Trump/Vance who will let Israel dial their genocide up to 11; shit they will probably actively encourage it, if there is votes/power or money in it for them.

First past the post voting, or at the very least the US version of it, strongly favors two dominating parties. CGP Grey - Minority Rule…
A third party doing anything but fuck things up, is a delusional fantasy. Change starts with election reform. For instance https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/
Zorg@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•Tim Walz calls for scrapping of electoral college to decide US presidential race91·9 months agoRural states have a large advantage in the house, huge advantage in the senate, and of course significant skew in the electoral college. And much of it comes from compromises with slave owners.
Abolishing the EC would not mean rural regions get completely ignored, not only would they have reps and senators still courting their votes (and campaign donations), civilized countries with functional democracies have multiple parties. A rural party would show up, which could court voters in all rural areas, instead of only in swing states.
Congress of going to need to expand a little bit, if all 3,330-6,660 reps should be able to gather at the same time.
Exactly!
Devine and other R politicians have no shame pandering for their votes, dog-whistles and all.
