<p>>  Blend it with any dry ingredients like sugar before using.<p>That's the key.<p>I'm not an expert - and have only experience making/mixing liquids for cocktails - but Gum Arabic (often used to add a thicker mouthfeel in sugar syrups) isn't a great emulsifier but needs to be full homogenised with the oils before adding to more liquid - exceptionally high speed, aggressive blending for longer than it looks like is needed, to create tiny droplets which the gum arabic then stabilises, or the oil will end up separating after a few hours/days.<p>Sucros Esters, Propylene Glycol, or Polysorbate 80 (which I haven't used) probably do a better job but only Sucros Esters could be considered 'natural'</p>

<p>> Helium supply issues are only going to make this worse.<p>I believe helium, although important constitutes a small percent of the cost of semiconductors, so its effect on price will be less severe.  It will be more noticeable in other uses of helium though - party balloons could get very expensive etc.</p>

<p>> The US can't just pull out, either. The enemy gets a vote on when it's over. Israel, Iran, and Yemen now all have to agree<p>Is that really true?  Just claim that Iran's Nuclear ambitions have been destroyed, and anyone who needs oil can "Buy it from the US or get it themselves from Hormuz" - mission accomplished!<p>With the US withdrawing (or atleast not attacking), Iran can stop the drone attacks and open Hormuz - collecting fees from passing ships, call it reparations and a win!</p>

<p>Everything depends on demand. Much of US shale oil hasn’t been economical to extract at times in the past decade.  If oil drops below $60 most of the newer basins are not profit making.  If oil demand (or OPEC) pushes oil below $35 the rest of US oil isn’t economical.</p>
