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.

the panel states "PICKED UP BY THE WOMEN, THE MEN HAVE HIGH PRAISE FOR THEIR FAIR RESCUERS ." it shows a man and woman in a plane's cockpit and the man says, "WHO SAID, THE WEAKER OF THE SEXES ?"

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.

A panel from Planet comics. The scene is titled "GALE CAN STAND NO MORE...". The character is depicted wearing a futuristic crown inside a clear helmet. The panel features a speech bubble with the text "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"

Info not related to the panel:

Planet Comics # 12 | Published May 1941. With this issue, brunette Gale Allen got a dye job and spent the rest of her career as a blonde.

Gale Allen and her Girl Squadron! were from Planet Comics, from the publisher Fiction House. As a Venusian princess, she grew up to become the captain of the Universal Space Patrol. A skilled space pilot sporting a ray gun at her hip, Gale leads her Girl Squadron in the fight for galactic justice around the year 1990 (when her adventures first begin).

 

A wild-eyed, balding man with white hair on the side proclaims, "NEVER AGAIN WILL I ALLY MYSELF WITH APES! THEY ARE TOO UNPREDICTABLE -- TOO DIFFICULT TO CONTROL! BUT PORPOISES! THEIR INTELLIGENCE IS ALMOST THE EQUAL OF MAN'S --"

 

It was not immediately clear what caused the crash.

 

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) was their best-selling song of the 1990s.

(Moose Mason of Archie comics) A blond man in a red jacket is visibly upset and leaning against a tree. He remarks, "AND THAT MEAN LITTLE MAN WON'T LET ME TOUCH IT! SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR! IT'S TORTURE!"

Johnson used the car model Terraplane as a metaphor for sex. In the lyrical narrative, the car will not start and Johnson suspects that his girlfriend let another man drive it when he was gone. In describing the various mechanical problems with his Terraplane, Johnson creates a setting of thinly veiled sexual innuendo.

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.

A shell (like a unix terminal) that gives you a secure way to do things, such as remotely logging in to another server, or executing commands remotely. With older programs like telnet, you had to login in the terminal passing your credentials without encryption. Secure Shell encrypts the stream to attempt to mitigate someone other than you from obtaining your credentials. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow it to authenticate the user, if necessary.

I guess it depends on the cartel's focus. Are they a drug cartel?

  • The Black Orchard — growers, & brewers.

  • The Phantom Crucible — they use experimental chemistry to make their product.

A price cartel (where they fix prices)? They would be focused on money.

  • The Thorned Veil — a cartel that hides behind beauty, elegance, and deception.

  • The Broken Halo Network — fallen idealists turned organized criminals.

A territorial cartel (where they have regions)? If you do "business" in another region, it might be your last "transaction".

  • The Crimson Ledger — every wrong and debt is written in blood.

  • The Ashen Wolves — enforcers who leave nothing but ashes of trespassers (or their buildings if they set up shop in the wrong place).

 

Archie and Veronica are dressed in bathing suits. Archie looks guilty as an exasperated Veronica holds a green bottle of sun tan lotion. Veronica yells at Archie, "DON'T ACT SO INNOCENT! FINE! YOU DID HER -- NOW DO ME!"
