@Ryan_Parkerrr Do you seriously think that only the price of a bbl of oil impacts the price of a gallon of fuel at the pump? Way more factors than just that, including globally conflict, supply shortages, demand increases.

In 1945, a giant of the photography world discovered the greatest secret of the Manhattan Project—not through a leak, but because their film started dying.

For years, Eastman Kodak had been receiving complaints about fogged and damaged X-ray film. It looked like light exposure, but the boxes were sealed tight.

When the company’s head physicist, Julian Webb, began investigating, he found something impossible: the straw used for the cardboard packaging was contaminated with radioactive particles.

But this wasn't just any radiation. The straw had been harvested in the Midwest, hundreds of miles from any known radioactive site.

Webb realized that the contamination was falling from the sky. He tracked the timeline and realized the fallout perfectly matched a massive, secret explosion in the New Mexico desert—the Trinity Test.

Kodak didn't go to the press. They didn't call the police. Instead, they sent a quiet, high-stakes message to the U.S. government: "We know what you're doing. Stop ruining our film, or we talk."

The government, desperate to keep the Atomic Age a secret, struck a deal. For years, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission provided Kodak with secret forecasts of nuclear tests, making a private corporation the only entity in the world with a "nuclear weather map" while the public remained in the dark.

@ThrillaRilla369 I worked in the shop of a local construction company.

It’s giving “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”.

@MarkMadDogDavis And who exactly are you?

[beardedpatriot88 @offroadranger6]

@amelia_tweetz In all for it. We do 60 a week minimum. I’d happily turn an extra 8 of that into OT.

In 1959, Lieutenant Colonel Rankin became “The Man Who Rode the Thunder” when he ejected from his crippled F-8 Crusader at 47,000’…

…right above a thunderstorm.

He fell for 5 minutes, as the thunderstorm’s updrafts kept pushing him up above the altitude the parachute would automatically open. He immediately suffered from frostbite in the -58° F air, as well as nasty decompression injuries. Fortunately, he was able to pull the cord that activated his emergency oxygen.

The parachute eventually opened early, as changing barometric pressure triggered it. This was not necessarily a good thing; the updrafts could now keep him aloft, inside the storm. Hail began to pelt him, and he at times had to hold his breath to keep from drowning in the rain.

Lightning & thunder at one point convinced him he had died. Blue bolts of lightning several feet thick were all around, and the thunder shook his body.

He endured until the storm finally let him go, coming down in a North Carolina forest. On landing, he took note of his watch – it had been 40 minutes since he ejected. He gathered himself & walked out of the forest until finding help.

He was treated for his injuries & returned to flying, writing the book “The Man Who Rode the Thunder”.

@JeffHanson66 @FivelDaAmerican @ncd22124 You’d better buckle the fuck up for what inflation is about to do.

[Eric @FivelDaAmerican]

@ncd22124 I was promised mass deportations, deep state arrests, no new wars, and Epstein disclosure.

All I got was stupid name changes, high inflation, stupid memes, and a war with Iran.

I am going to enjoy the impeachment. It is well deserved.

@SaltyGoat17 There absolutely is and in between and idiots like you and your counterparts on the left are why people are scared to vote for it.

@hutch72571 @siIentmajority Diesel has doubled in price here from when this shit started. I wonder how much higher fuel has to get before they quit believing him.

[beardedpatriot88 @offroadranger6]

@siIentmajority Israel has been telling US presidents for over 20 years that Iran is weeks away from a bomb. Trump was just the first one dumb enough to believe them.

@MattTucker1776 Rough water? He’s gone back on every promise he made to his voters.

[beardedpatriot88 @offroadranger6]

@doogadoo11 You can’t seriously tell me you look back at the last 9 months and think “yeah, this is the direction I’d hoped things would go”.

[beardedpatriot88 @offroadranger6]

@BleuCheesie For me it would mean an extra 8 hours of OT on top of my 20+ already.
