Russia is one of the largest exporter of gasoline.

At the risk of linking an un-cited web page, they look to be a distant 12th in gasoline.

The source is supposedly https://www.eia.gov/ but I can't find the original data there in any usable format.

Russia comes in a distant second for general refined petroleum (not just gasoline) according to https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/refined-petroleum-products-exports/country-comparison/

It's South Fucking Dakota, who the fuck else is there to vote and to vote for? And he's a senior senator - he could just drop out and sit on his cushy retirement on his ranch (I'm assuming he has a ranch because, well, don't they all?)

It faces death at about the same rate as Facebook. Just like facebook, it has a huge database of information and a still-active userbase that just doesn't care that Spez is trash or that Reddit is wringing their content and eyeballs for money. It will still be around 20 years from now, just like aol email addresses.

To late now. Without an account there's no way to avert comment necromancy by reddit. It's why I kept my login; so I could clean up stragglers.

Sounds pretty presidential to me.

Don't even need that. Meta crosses multiple platforms now - Instagram, FB, WhatsApp, etc. All you need is for someone you know to have you in their contacts list, and the hit the "allow access" a single time. All of that data is then scraped, cataloged, and cross referenced with everyone else. Name, address, phone numbers, birthday, work address - anything your contact felt it convenient to add about you in their phone. From there it's just a matter of time until data mining of second and third level contact - or outright data leaks - fill in the rest of your profile and demographic information.

Oh yeah, my state has one boob on the flag and one in the Governor's mansion. Livin' the dream.

More of a boil situation. Nothing's getting golden brown and delicious in this scenario.

It's magic and we don't know how it works*.
