@DonnieDoesWorld I have a gripe with "bodies of water" Mt. Rushmore. Lakes are the superior body of water and Tahoe blows the competition out of the water.
@JP7424@haufell@AdamSchefter@SethWickersham Lmao please show me the COTY Voting rulebook and where it says you can't for a coach if you fucking them.
Also how is it so difficult to understand that Adam and Russini are friends and reporting on your friends affair is not something friends do?
Started drunk smoking again and there are actually zero negative effects on my life because the alcohol forms a protective layer around your lungs a lot of people don’t know this
@baalzamon35 It's the wording of the hypothetical that has people confused. If it was worded
"If you press the red button, you are safe. If you press the blue button, you will die unless over 50% of the population also presses blue."
This wording makes it a lot easier to understand
The US just ran the most effective energy siege in modern history, and most Americans don’t even know it’s happening.
January: the US removes Maduro from Venezuela, cutting off Cuba’s primary oil lifeline of 100,000 barrels per day. Same month, Trump warns tariffs on any country that sells Cuba oil. Mexico slashes deliveries 73%. Russia sends two symbolic tanker loads all year.
Result: zero oil tankers have reached Cuba since January 9th.
Cuba consumes about 112,000 barrels of oil per day. It produces 30,000 domestically. That 82,000 barrel daily gap is now unfilled, and the effects are cascading through every layer of Cuban society.
The grid collapsed March 4. Collapsed again March 16. Collapsed again March 21. Three total nationwide blackouts in three weeks, each leaving all 11 million people without power for days.
Here’s what “totally dark” actually means on the ground. Hospitals canceling surgeries. Refrigerators dying, so families buy food daily because nothing keeps. Water pumps shut off, meaning no running water in homes. A woman in Havana told AP her refrigerator broke from voltage surges, then said if power doesn’t return, her family can’t get water. People cooking with firewood in their apartments. Provinces outside Havana getting two to four hours of electricity per day. Highways empty because there’s no fuel for cars.
Cuba’s thermoelectric plants were built in the Soviet era and run on heavy fuel oil whose sulfur content corrodes the equipment from the inside. The country can’t import spare parts because it has no hard currency and sanctions block the supply chain. One professor at American University called the technicians keeping the grid alive “magicians” given what they’re working with.
The strategy is precise. Block the oil, remove the ally who supplied it, threaten tariffs on anyone who fills the gap, and let physics do the rest. Trump told reporters after a previous grid collapse that he’d soon have “the honor of taking Cuba.”
Hours before the March 16 blackout, Cuba announced it would allow foreign investment for the first time in 65 years. A government abandoning a core economic principle the same week its grid collapses three times isn’t reform. That’s leverage working exactly as designed.
Two Russian shadow fleet tankers are expected late March. Enough diesel for a couple weeks. That’s the lifeline for 11 million people.
