  • There’s nothing ‘disingenuous’ about calling it a ‘loss’. It clearly states they posted a 7 bill NET loss. Not projected, not relative to the past… net. loss. They paid $7 bill to stay in business this year and are cancelling dividends. Their sales of gas reduce by more than 50% in 1 year. They aren’t ‘welcoming’ anything. They are praying doing business in Asian markets will be enough to bring them back to profitability and the latter half of the article makes it clear this is very unlikely for a few years at least.

    This is imo the best news I’ve read all year in that it shows strong evidence the sanctions are working. I just hope they hurt enough that Russia retreats from Ukraine, and gives up their plan of continental conquest for good, but I’m not holding my breath.













  • Well it was confusing to begin with. I’m still not sure how to search efficiently or whatever, and I don’t know where you can quickly see the Instance themes. I’ve settled in though and I’m comfortable now. It really helps that **every **comment isn’t replied to with someone outright hostile for whatever reason. Pretty sure that’ll change once the bots realize we’re worth their time.

    I have my icks. I wish thread trees were more distinct. I’m still getting the hang of the interface. But despite them there is a pleasant vibe here where you feel like you’re actually talking to people and not screaming to be heard amongst a hostile crowd.
