No. I didn’t see the others.

Comic Book Plus has them posted online to read for free. This is the link to Planet Comics #4 (her debut).

Planet Comics as a whole is a fun read (a few stories are lame, but not many). It’s an anthology comic with most stories being 4-15 pages long. Gale isn’t presented as a Damsel in distress, but as an early female action hero.

Her character was introduced in Planet Comics #4.

Her first episodes are 4 pages long. You’ll have to skip from comic to comic. Amazon has a book with the collected stories (allegedly) for about $4. I’m cheap, so I don’t know.

Yes it will take time. But using your analogy, it’s like a bakery that can shelve 200 loaves of bread with 3 good loaves remaining, and 50 moldy loaves of bread still on the shelf.

But in this case, if we don’t just leave the loaves on the shelf, there’s a process to recover 45 of those moldy loaves as good usable loaves.

Or we could just leave the moldy ones alone, because cleanup takes time and money. But we lose shelf space for good loaves and who knows what the the health risk is to the workers.

The sludge can eat away at the container, exposing the environment to toxins. It’s also using a good deal of their storage. Their maximum is 75 million barrels, with 20 million barrels worth of sludge. That’s product that can’t be sold as is and is simply being stored.

That’s a fair assessment. I don’t argue that we need more oil. It just seems like a waste for them to be containing so much unusable product.

First it says

In normal times, Cushing stores around 40 million barrels of oil with capacity of up to 75 million.

But then…

When Cushing’s reserves get below 20 million, they effectively hit empty, scraping the bottom of the barrel of what is largely unusable sludge.

From what I find, there is a way to reprocess the sludge, such as distillation and pyrolysis.

Floytweg claims it can recover up to 90%

The Flottweg Tricanter® system offers a comprehensive solution for oil sludge treatment, recovering approximately 90% of the oil from sludge in ponds, lagoons, or from crude oil tank cleaning. This not only recycles the oil as a valuable product but also significantly reduces the volume of solids to be disposed of, cutting down on transport, landfill, and incineration costs.

While I acknowledge there is a cost, the tanks could be cleaned and most of the oil recovered.

Whoa! A Whole 80 days?

Well, you can’t say a former governor got off easy. Those 70 days will be pure hell.

I mean imagine how she’ll feel serving that long 60-day sentence.

She could get out for good behavior, maybe after half of that 50-day sentence.

Of course, the judge might make her serve that whole month so that she can set an example.

That week will probably make her regret what she did.

That’ll probably be the longest weekend of her life.

It all comes down to their specialty, right?

If they’re moving product, you’ve got The Black Orchard (the growers) or The Phantom Crucible (the mad scientists). If it’s a white-collar price cartel just chasing dollar signs, you want something like The Thorned Veil for that elegant, deceptive front, or The Broken Halo Network for a gritty, fallen-from-grace feel.

But if they’re a territorial cartel? The kind where crossing a border gets you killed? Go with The Crimson Ledger—where every debt is settled in blood. Or The Ashen Wolves, because they will straight-up burn down your business if you trespass

To hurry or leave.

But my mental picture is a donkey in a trailer…

All the text is there.

cull /kŭl/ transitive verb

1. To pick out from others; select.
2. To gather; collect.
3. To remove rejected members or parts from (a herd, for example).

Batman attacks a cowboy who interjects a “HEY!”, while batman grabs his gun and says “HEE! HEE! GUN! WANT GUN! MAKE BIG NOISE! BANG! BANG! HEE! HEE!”

Why don’t we take care of each other as decent people? Why do we have to decide who is more worthy? We have too many money-grubbing billionaires. Maybe if we watched out for each other, we wouldn’t have to worry about what the other guy is doing.

Maybe it wouldn’t work, but it would be nice to try. Look what happened in 1914:

I mean, I found this one on #memes, so it must be true.

People who prefer pink more than yellow?

Alternate flavor preference (it sometimes has added cranberry or strawberry) ?

Wanting “something different”?

Might have mistaken it for a cocktail (the original was lemonade with a splash of red wine; it was first introduced at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London)

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great Gatsby,” pink lemonade is served at a lavish party, symbolizing the excesses of the Roaring Twenties. So maybe they’re book lovers, or want to indulge in excess.

They want the antioxidants that may be in the drink. Anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for the pink color of pink lemonade.

They might want it for any of these reasons, or others.

An elliptical response is a concise utterance that omits words or phrases that are already understood from the context. It relies on the listener or reader to fill in the missing information.

I’m not sure about orthogonal responses.
