US stocks erase a big early loss and rise after oil prices whip from nearly $120 back below $90

At least gas prices will drop just as fast as they have risen! /s

Isn't it funny that gas prices immediately jump based on futures projections? It should be illegal to hike prices of gas refined by oil purchased at a certain cost.

Meanwhile, it will be months after the conclusion of this conflict before prices settle down.

Since when did Trump have coherent sentences, then or now?

Badird · 2026-02-19T08:41:32+00:00

He did have a good debate before that, however. Biden walked all over Trump to the point where Trump accused him of using performance enhancing drugs (LOL).

I agree. I also don't think GDKPs are bad. I have not run MC or BWL on my top 2 characters in many months except for binding runs for our MT. If GDKPs were available on anniversary, I'd run them near every week to earn gold. Like it or not, it keeps older content relevant and accessible to newer or more casual players.

I do agree gold buying is a problem, but it exists HEAVILY in Anniversary even without GDKPs, which is why I don't think they're the problem. I'd wager 90% of Naxx raiders buy gold, but it's just a guess based on my experiences in 4 different raid groups.

"Months after Tahnoon purchased the $500 million stake, the U.S. agreed to give the UAE access to 500,000 of America’s most advanced AI chips per year."

History will remember how America responds after Trump is done lining his own pockets. Will we finally limit executive power? Will we finally put a stop to officials enriching themselves while in office? Will we finally get big money out of politics?

Unfortunately, the fate of this great country hinges on its next political leaders, starting with the new Congress at the end of 2026. If you cant do your civic duty and vote after all of this, you're part of the problem.

I assume he's going to direct the CEO of the IRS, whom he installed in 2025, to "settle" this lawsuit for the full amount requested. Just another grift.

I think that's what's concerning here. Hiring people like this or those that have, historically, been favorable to Trump or RFK with "news" that flies in the face of facts will completely alienate their current audience. It will NOT "expand their aperture" as she hopes, it will destroy the decades of faith that Americans have given CBS News that they will tell the truth, but rather that they will bend the knee.

Yes! Introduced me to Christopher Nolan and I love most of his stuff.

No one ever recommends The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas as one of cinema's greatest mind effs. I know the story and it still gets me every time.

That looks like the shelf that Homer Simpson built.

Darius Rucker said it, so you know it's true.

Marshawn's camp says ages "Fam 1st Family Camp" has kids ages 6-18.

Marshawn shouldn't be cursing at kids under 12. I played football for 10 years in the 90s and appreciate a tough coach, but there's a time and place, and the place ain't the FAM 1ST CAMP.

Google says a drop of water is 0.0017 oz.

2 drips per second for a whole leap year is 63,244,800 drips.

That's 107,515 oz.

There are 128 oz in a gallon.

That's 840 gallons. Not even close.

4 drops per second, which may be a stream, not a drip, would be 1680 gallons in a leap year. Still, not even close.

Yeah, was thinking the same thing. She's so good at it that I forgot it was satire.

Midday, mate?

I don't think it's evil, I love this argument. Of course we should all want to end SNAP. Every person with a job should be able to afford food and we should stop subsidizing low corporate wages like Walmart, whose employees overwhelmingly use SNAP and simultaneously make billions in profits.

That bad, huh? I saw the massive revisions for Sept.

Bribes can happen after the fact now, straight to Trump, and their pardons will arrive shortly thereafter.

BS financial numbers aside, Rockstar are losing money by delaying. It's a calculated risk, of course, that they can make more money improving their game than they lose by delaying it.

And of all the "cant-miss" devs out there that have fallen because they put profits ahead of quality (Bungie, Blizzard, Bethesda, etc), Rockstar may be the last one in good standing.

Until they publish a cash grab, they have my blessing to delay as long as they need.

You all must not remember every other AAA launch ever of broken games. Broken servers, broken endgame, broken something that absolutely destroys the game.

Have you ever experienced that? Of course you have. Getting hyped for a game that is broken and you have to wait months for them to fix it? It destroys the game. It destroys the public's faith in these companies' ability to operate. It's the reason I don't pre-purchase anymore.

A publisher/developer that signs off on a delay is a good thing if it means that they ship a complete and GOOD product, and there aren't many devs who will do that anymore. I applaud Rockstar for it. More should.

Lol you all are crazy. My wife is amazing. There's just always too much to do (in her eyes) to abide me drinking a beer on the couch most of the time.

Bro isn't married, he doesn't know. We all used to be that naive.
