[01:03:45] <AlwaysNever> This night is being a major shitshow in the Iranian theater of operations, Donaldo Trumpo is putting up a Great Circus
[01:04:45] <AlwaysNever> what happens if raw petrol is contaminated with radioactivity? Hmmm.
[01:06:38] <AlwaysNever> Google is censoring channels "not aligned", also
[01:06:59] <AlwaysNever> something big is coming
[01:26:35] <halibut> Radioactive fuel? I think that makes cars go faster with more power. Also lets them shoot webs from their headlamps.
[01:27:55] <halibut> More seriously, as is usually the case with radioactivity, I think the answer largely depends on what it gets contaminated with. If it gets contaminated with alpha emitters, those tend to be largely harmless unless swallowed or inhaled ... but since raw oil is already a bad thing to swallow or inhale, that is not likely to be too troublesome.
[01:29:51] <halibut> Whether fumes would be radioactive or not, I am less sure. Alpha emitters are often heavy metals. They might oxidize / vaporize, but that would likely happen before making it to people. I do not know whether fumes would be likely to carry any heavy metals in the fuel or not.
[01:38:59] <AlwaysNever> what about smoke from the combustion of gasoline...
[01:39:39] <AlwaysNever> what about the particles generated by the combustion of gasoil/diesel?
[01:41:08] <halibut> Good point. Places with a lot of exhaust fumes could be significantly more carcinogenic.
[01:44:43] <AlwaysNever> Maquiavellic Trump in action: let make all Middle East oil not fit for use, and sell the Venezuelian oil at a premium - Putting will also benefit from that.
[01:45:33] <AlwaysNever> Big business! Thank you for you attention to this matter.
[01:46:58] <halibut> Seems more Trump-like to become the new gatekeeper of the strait currently effectively gated by Iran.
[01:47:56] <AlwaysNever> he would need an internal coup d'etat in Iran by the Regular Army for that
[01:49:07] <AlwaysNever> he probably spoiled that with the kid's school massacre by the Patriot missile
[01:55:09] <halibut> (Tomahawk, not Patriot, but your point is still valid.) As near as I can make out, to the extent that Trump has plans, they are based on what he thinks he can do. I would not be surprised if he does not think that is an impediment.
[02:01:39] <AlwaysNever> I foresee a double-blockade of Hormuz: given that Iran is letting Chinesse tankers through, Donaldo Trumpo will put in place a blockade for those ships too. So he can make China suffer.
[02:05:28] <halibut> I wonder how many blockades will fit? Can you imagine a ship trying to make it through having to pay N tolls to N different countries along the way?
[02:06:45] <halibut> Sort of a horrific extrapolation of what tech-related industries are doing in so many other fields.

[08:39:43] <chromas> Time for some GPoiL
[08:40:04] <chromas> what about the gays of Hormuz?
[08:59:32] <Ingar> they use the DEIOL
[09:30:05] <chromas> Is that were we get tranny fluid from?

[10:23:47] <systemd> ^ 0303Ukrainian Military Presence Reported in Western Libya Amid Expanding ‘Shadow War’ With Russia
[10:47:15] <AlwaysNever> It's UK intelligence official plus Ukranian drone operators in Libya, targeting Russian ships in the Mediterranean Sea
[10:48:12] <AlwaysNever> UK of course goes far away from home to cause havoc, they could station the Ukranian drone operators in Dover, but no, better fuck up the Mediterranean
