Why can't I call you a bitch?

JRE logo

Look, it's not about whether you can or can't call someone a bitch, it's about respect and understanding. I've definitely thrown around some harsh words in my time, sure. But it really comes down to the intent behind the words. Are you using it as a derogatory term, or are you using it as motivation in a gym session? Context matters, my friend. If you're calling me a bitch to try and belittle me or cause harm, then we've got a problem. If it's all in good fun or you're trying to fire me up... well, maybe that's a different story. At the end of the day, it's about understanding where the other person is coming from and treating people with kindness and respect.

  • Briefly mention the global reliance on fossil fuels.

Overview of the Oil Industry

  • Discuss the brief history of the oil industry and the role it has played in shaping economies and industries around the world.
  • Discuss the financial aspect and vested interests involved in the oil industry ("The proven reserves, the oil that's in the ground has a wealth, has a monetary value. That's in the oil companies' banks, their bank accounts, of like $1.5 trillion.")

The Link to Climate Change

  • Discuss the environmental consequences of the oil industry and how it contributes to climate change.

Future of the Oil Industry: Transition to Green Energy

  • Present the argument for transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
  • Discuss the possible pushback from the fossil fuel industry and the challenges related to that ("the guy out on the oil rig today simply wants to feed his family and the coal miners today want to feed their families.").

Global Perspective on the Oil Industry

  • Discuss the global scale of the problem, especially with the increase in gas-powered vehicles. Share statistics to give the problem a scale ("there's roughly one billion with a B, roughly one billion light trucks and vehicles in the world today that are gas powered.")

Could you explain me differences between Successful effort and Full cost accounting in Accounting in Oil Industry?

JRE logo

Man, I'm not an expert on oil industry accounting, but I can try to break it down super basic. From what I gather, Successful Effort and Full Cost are two different ways of crunching the numbers in oil and gas.

Successful Effort, it's like, you only capitalize costs that lead to successful production. If you drill a well and it's a dud, those costs get written off right away. You're only counting the scores, not the misses.

On the other hand, Full Cost is a different beast. It's like, you're capitalizing all costs associated with searching and drilling, whether it's a hit or a miss. It's like throwing all your throws in the mix, not just the ones that hit the bullseye.

Each method has its own upside and downside, might make a company look better or worse on paper. It's kinda like that Hollywood accounting sham we were talking about earlier, but in the oil world. Just remember, folks, accounting is the art of making the numbers dance.
