China is attempting to refill its oil reserves.
Chinese crude imports rose +2.2 million tons in August, to 37.9 million tons, marking their 2nd consecutive monthly increase.
This brings the 2-month increase to ~9.0 million tons, or a ~33% recovery from the total drop between January and July this year.
The increase in crude supply has also allowed China to ramp up fuel exports, with overseas sales of gasoline and diesel surging +29% last month.
However, China's crude imports were down -23% year-over-year and -32% below this year's peak.
Meanwhile, Chinaβs massive oil inventories are estimated at more than 1.2 billion barrels, giving the country ample flexibility to reduce purchases as prices rise.
China's massive oil stockpile is growing again.

The fly can play Overwatch at a masters level.
I've trained the MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectdome's 166,700 neurons using YOLOv5 and video pretraining data to play Overwatch in a keyboard environment with attention-based aiming.
The fly has found the most success on Mercy.

Many years ago I ran marketing for a consumer app company.
We spent over $100 million testing ads and landing pages. We tried literally thousands of things and TWO tactics stood out:
1) Attractive women beat everything. We tested hundreds of images and the winner was always... a hot woman. Our perennial champion was Scandinavian.
2) The "buy button" can never be too big. We kept testing bigger and bigger buttons to the point of absurdity and the click rates only went up.
These two rules still apply today.

This is how Japanese children learn about traffic laws. I've always gotten into trouble in elementary and middle school in the U.S. because I had a morbid sense of humor. When I graduated from middle school, I said, "Some of us will be T-boned by a drunk driver tonight." F&Cking, like, three chicks started crying because I was getting too real. Mrs. Clark goes off on me like I'm an asshole. Who died from a brain tumor 10 years later, Mrs. Clark?

The army defending Yemen's key port was at 20% strength because its rosters were stuffed with ghost names collecting salaries
A Western source claims the battalions at Mocha existed mostly on paper, padded with fake soldiers drawing pay.
So when Houthi fighters came down the coast, they were met by about a fifth of an army and a lot of payroll entries.
Yemeni generals spent Thursday morning begging for air cover, and a senior military source says CENTCOM assured him Washington was watching closely and Saudi jets were on the way. Not one flew.
With minute-by-minute updates coming in.
A regional source called it a Saudi and American mess of epic proportions, which is putting it gently.
It gets worse. The UAE pulled its troops out in January when Riyadh asked them to leave, and nobody bothered filling the empty bases.

Muzamil Ahmed, 35, was arrested at New Yorkβs JFK Airport while trying to board an Emirates flight to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He is accused of playing a central role in an international operation that stole more than $250 million from over 200 victims, many of them elderly Americans.
Scammers operating from overseas call centers posed as bank employees or federal agents and terrified seniors into believing their accounts or identities had been compromised. Victims were instructed to empty their savings and convert the money into gold bars, Bitcoin or cash before couriers posing as federal agents collected it.
Prosecutors say Ahmed operated from New Jersey, created shell companies to launder the stolen money, funneled proceeds through a Florida gold refinery, converted gold and cash into cryptocurrency and moved the money overseas.
At least one victim later committed suicide after being left destitute.
