Exxon Mobil operates 37 oil refineries in 20 countries; in the USA, it owns and operates about 12,000 service stations.
Exxon Mobil mostly evaded any significant financial responsibility for the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker crash, the 2nd worst oil spill in US history (since eclipsed by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout. That disaster cost the company about $4.5 billion, paid out over 20 years (or roughly 2% of profits over that time period).

Get the Mobile Task Force Unit Epsilon-11 mug.Mobile gaming used to be really good in the early 2010s, but nowadays they either fall into one of the following categories:
1) Cheap and trashy games that are littered with ads and poorly optimised. These types of games spread like cancer in the app/play store and are mostly based on arcade concepts of more successful titles (e.g. candy crush, coin pushers, bubble shooters, etc). They are often made by some unknown developer with the sole intention of making profit. Many of them have fake 5-star reviews.
2) Pay to win games that are set-up to become nearly impossible to beat unless you pay.
3) Games that adhere to some sort of EXP leveling or reward system. Most of the old titles like fruit ninja have adopted this system, which ruins what used to make these games really fun.
4) Games that claim they will give you money for playing, but are actually a scam.
The days of pure uninterrupted mobile gaming are now gone. The only good reputable mobile games out there are from indie developers, which are mainly seen on the Google Play Store.

Get the mobile mug.1) Something that Dottie drives around, because she has nothing better to do but drive her Subaru Forester after a hard day's work at the racquetball club, providing the less fortunate with yellow tennis balls that only Attorney At Law, Mr. S.

Holy shit! Was that the Flavor Savor himself stroking his goatee while on his headset with his mom Dottie telling her he was arriving into the garage (on his ninth phone call exchange with her to report his whereabouts) after a fine day of racing with the Spencer Racing Team, landscaping, and tapping it up in a game of TAPS? Why yes, I do believe 'twas he, the man with that awesomely hot fat chick (also sometimes seen with a dark haired freak who uses him for rides)cruising around in his Soccer Mom Mobile for the last time today, as tomorrow he is said to be purchasing an even more renowned vehicle simply known as the mini-van converted to pick-up truck itself--the "Spearmint Gumball"--the prestigious $20,000 two-wheel drive Titan.
