Congress eyes cutting off foreign markets from US strategic reserve oilhttps://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/courage-strength-optimism/congress-eyes-cut-off-foreign-markets-us-strategic-reserve- this could be problematic because US refineries can't handle all the light, sweet oil in the SPR so there would be a lot of oil unpurchased if it couldn't be exported and Biden keeps releasing huge amounts of SPR.China Oil Demand in Limbo as Virus Saps Travel Before Party Congresshttps://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/china-oil-demand-in-limbo-as-virus-saps-travel-before-party-congress-1.1832275- Will China's demand rebound or will it remain depressed to June 2023? This could impact global demand forecasts- China not actually getting more capitalistic, business is happening through the Party- China sees North Korea as ideal country- Chinese economic collapse?Biden Pitches Plan to Refill Oil Reserves, but Producers Are Skepticalhttps://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-aims-to-spur-drilling-with-plan-to-refill-oil-reserves-but-producers-are-skeptical-11666467900- Is the Biden admin betting on global recession dropping oil prices to $50 so then $67 looks good and oil producers will have hedged?- $12 price cut is basically break even- Producers seem to think high prices will continue, so who is going to take that deal?Russian Military Boosts Jet Fuel Offtake for Ukraine Warhttps://www.energyintel.com/00000183-f6ac-dae6-a5b7-ffbe4fbb0000- boosting Russian refineriesDr. Dean Foreman from APIhttps://www.api.org/news-policy-and-issues/blog/2022/10/21/msr-petroleum-demand-reflects-economic-growth-in-september- US is hitting records despite global chaos- 20 million bpd of oil demand despite doom and gloom talk - good from economic and industry perspective- remarkable recovery on natural gas side- injection rate has caught up for storage- extraction of NGLs has been record breaking for September- 10.4 million bpd of gross exports of crude and refined products. Never higher for a month going back to 1947- domestic prices aren't exorbitant- don't have the kind of response on the oil drilling side the same way we had on the gas side- Oil and gas production are affected equally by supply chain and labor concerns. Gas supplies are looking good but oil production is down except in Texas- Why are prices still soft relative to where they probably should be, with inflation? Market is confused. Interest rate increases scaring off liquidity. Downdraft for oil prices along with ongoing SPR releases.- International natural picture is still very short, even though US picture is solid. SPR releases have covered up structural shortage. IEA, OPEC, Saudi Arabia all saying investment and drilling activity not enough to meet demand next year. OPEC cut forces hand of OECD SPR releases - will they continue SPR releases? Maybe SPR releases a little greedy in advance of midterms- Basically at price of right before Russia invasion of Ukraine. OPEC says it will defend this price.- Roughly balanced market with SPR releases and OPEC cuts. What will happen with Dec 5.- Distillate: the one area where the gov might ban exports to make sure we have enough. Stocks are really low on east coast - normally it imports some and gets from PADDS 2, 3 but it isn't. Symbiotic trade with Europe is disrupted. Historically low diesel reserves. Can substitute some fuels (residual heating oil, low sulfur fuel oil).- Distillate is a hot product internationally now- Trucking markets were really hot at the beginning of the year. Q1 was well above historical ranges. But now that prices are up, economy slowing, seeing a lot of slack capacity in trucking. DAT trend lines that track spot loads vs. trucks available. Seeing more trucks, fewer loads. Freight rates should be coming down.- Jet travel picking up does impact this because clawing back of market share from trucking- Soft distillate demand isn't all doom and gloom because there is some fuel switching BUT there are reasons to be concerned.- DEI indicates that economic growth is slower and steadier not dropping off. Economy probably isn't tanking but it is moving sideways- But when will Fed stop and take stock of how the rate increases are impacting the economy?- Demand side looks pretty good now. - Could a crash in the housing market have an impact on any fuel demand? - inventories are so low that if we get an Abqaiq like event, markets will see that we don't have the cushion to deal with it and futures markets will react in a more extreme way.- Banning exports is not the answer. We need targeted solutions to address regional problems. Targeted Jones Act waiver. Wild corner solutions aren't helpful.Ellen's New York Times Opinion Piece: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/24/opinion/international-world/saudi-arabia-opec-oil-cut.html This is a public episode.

As long as we've been self-aware, we've desired companionship. And yet, we are not enough for one another; we hunger for something more - something that folklore, imaginary friends, and now technology have attempted to satisfy. Today, we stand at a crossroads beyond which is a future full of artificial lives. What kinds of minds will we create for ourselves? And what kind of future will those minds make for us?Links"The Measure of a Man," Season 2, Episode 9 of Star Trek: The Next GenerationHer"Be Right Back," Season 2, Episode 1 of Black MirrorTHX 1138The confession scene in THX 1138"When her best friend died, she rebuilt him using artificial intelligence."The tablets on Star Trek: The Next Generation were called PADDs...and there were a lot of themMusicAll music used in this episode is independently produced and licensed by Design Tomorrow for non-commercial use.MD by r benyBut Enough About Me, Bill Paxton, by Chris ZabriskieCities Sleep Like Seeds by r benyThe Sea's Sullen Green by r benyEmpty Grinds by r benyGlisten by r benyCreditsDesign Tomorrow is produced by Chris Butler at the Tomorrow office in Durham, NC.You can follow the show on Twitter @dsgntmrrw.

In-Jokes and Easter Eggs in Star Trek. When Joe Menosky began writing for Star Trek in 1990, he brought with him a peculiar relic from his university days: an obsession with the number 47. This unassuming digit soon found its way into unofficial Trek lore, popping up with increasing frequency and creativity. Before long, Star Trek scripts were replete with the references to 47. Even the art department got in on the act, dotting PADDs, corridors, and weapons lockers with the designation. As the not-so-random inclusion of the number grew throughout the 1990s like a subliminal infestation of Tribbles, spotting them became a fan-favorite activity—the ultimate Star Trek Easter egg hunt. In this episode of Primitive Culture, hosts Duncan Barrett and Clara Cook are joined by Carlos Miranda from TrekNews.net for a look at in-jokes and Easter eggs in Star Trek. We consider the origin of such carefully hidden nuggets in Warren Robinett’s 1979 Atari 2600 video game Adventure, and how cleverly hiding references has become a familiar part of pop culture. We also look at some of Star Trek’s most popular running in-jokes, as well as the use of self-parody and quotation—in Deep Space Nine in particular—and consider what such creative gestures say about the unspoken contract between Trek’s producers and fans.

Rules of Accusation: Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann. Deep Space Nine: for the past few years, the hallmark of this series has been change. Characters have moved on, the setting has changed, and DS9 doesn't quite feel like it used to. However, every once in awhile, it's good to return to familiar territory. In this week's e-book, we do just that as the old gang of Quark, Rom, Leeta, Zek, and even Odo return to some very familiar roles. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts, Matthew Rushing, Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson talk about the new ebook, Rules of Accusation. We have a surprise interview with Paula Block and Terry Erdmann from the Shore Leave convention and then we discuss this latest foray into the Ferengi world with some of the best loved characters from DS9. In the news segment we talk about the upcoming Boldly Go comic, Ongoing’s penultimate issue, New Visions’ take on The Cage and all the latest news from Shore Leave.

Die 47 ist eine magische Zahl in Star Trek. Seit The Next Generation taucht sie immer wieder unvermittelt auf: Auf Displays, Padds, Raumschiffen und natürlich im gesprochenen Wort. Für Ausgabe 47 des Trekcasts führte also kein Weg an dieser Zahl vorbei. Doch was hat es mit der 47 auf sich? Wer hat sie eingeführt? Und […] Der Beitrag Trekcast #047 – Die Zahl 47 erschien zuerst auf Trekcast - Der Star Trek Podcast.

The Worf-Dax TNG Wedding Invitations. We all remember the big wedding in Star Trek: Nemesis that finally united two characters who we saw fall in love throughout the years on TNG. But we would have loved to see our beloved TNG crew attend Lt. Commander Worf's wedding years prior in the Deep Space Nine episode "You Are Cordially Invited." The real-life limitations of budget, an existing storyline, and actor availability kept our favorite Klingon's friends and family from attending the ceremony. Nevertheless, in this episode of Earl Grey, we discuss who should have been sent calligraphy-engraved PADDs inviting them to attack Worf with painsticks at his bachelor party. From Worf's adopted parents and brother, to his closest friends on the Enterprise-E, to other people he encountered while serving under Picard, Darren, Daniel, and Phillip arrange the seating at the wedding reception to include those who would have enjoyed being part of Worf and Jadzia Dax saying, "I do."   Hosts Daniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren Moser   Editor and Producer Darren Moser   Associate Producers Become one!

Zeus 3D Printer is Replicator and Transporter Rolled Into One We already have PADDs, communicators, and Velcro (remember it actually came from Vulcan!), and now two more Star Trek technologies may be in our near future—the replicator and transporter. At least they are if AIO Robotics succeeds in its vision. The new Zeus 3D printer combines both of these technologies—admittedly on a less magical level—by allowing users to scan an object, 3D print a replica, and fax that object to others. The printer is available now for pre-order at the price of $2,499 and is expected to ship this summer.   The Trek Collective Reviews the USS Reliant The eleventh issue of the Official Starships Collection from Eagle Moss is out and The Trek Collective has reviewed the tiny ship. Which ship would that be? Well, it's one beautiful enough to make you scream KHAAAANNN!!! The USS Reliant, Khan's inverted Enterprise from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, is the subject of Issue #11 and The Trek Collective seems captivated by it's radiantly blue nacelles.   Star Trek: Horizon nears end of Kickstarter The independent, feature-length film set during the time of Enterprise, Star Trek: Horizon, will be reaching the end of its Kickstarter at noon on Monday, May 19. If you haven't yet contributed, there's still time to check out the amazing work that Tommy Kraft and the rest of the Horizon cast and crew are doing. The story takes place during The Romulan War and centers on the NX-04 Discovery. It's an example of extreme dedication and creative talent, and is being done on what we'll generously call a shoestring budget—though you would never know from the professional level of the visuals and story. Visit the Horizon website and Kickstarter to find out more through the images, updates, and some fantastic behind-the-scenes production videos.

Know what away teams damn near always carry? Tricorders for scannin’! Phasers for stunnin’! Communicators for squawkin’! Sometimes they even pack specialized tools for more potent self-defense. Know what away teams almost never carry, though? PADDs. The forgettable, un-sung heroes of the Star Trek universe. Before 2010, anyone—even the more casual Trek fan—could be forgiven for forgetting what a PADD is. The devices represent the futuristic equivalent of a clipboard: a utilitarian, information-carrying slate no more remarkable to the citizens of the Federation than a cling-film sketch pad to us. At one time PADDs might have taken the crown of Star Trek’s Most Unremarkable Prop. That is, until humanity built a slew of more-capable devices… three centuries early. Let’s take a look at the PADDs of today and the apps available to Trek-ify your mobile life.
