Drill

Swedish equipment brand Sandvik announced a new battery electric surface drill rig in a bid to create more efficient, cost-effective drilling operations. And, yes – the irony here is delicious! In fairness, plenty of drill operations use permanent grid connections (read: wired plugs) t operate their drillers – and there are plenty of reasons to drill that don’t involve oil and gas extraction.

Top 5 Shopping Tips for Amazon Prime DayEarlier this June, Shell’s leadership announced a hard shift back to steadying current oil production to appease investors, according to Reuters.

The Destroyer of Drywall The original build of Power Drill Massacre was my introduction to Puppet Combo’s body of work way back in… wait, I think it was only 2021. Time really has lost all meaning.
