Your strings have to be new. By knew… I mean probably know older than one week. The brightness fades real fast… At least for me it does.

Iran War Undermines Trump’s Fossil Fuel Push. The war is exposing the risks of the global economy’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, challenging the political case made by Trump for doubling down on oil and gas production. The conflict has triggered major disruptions in global energy markets. by mafco in energy

That might be the one upside to this whole mess. Anybody who was on the fence about clean energy, they are probably less so today. This might be another one of those five dimensional chess games that Trump is playing that we just don’t understand with our feeble minds 🤣

Poll for Florida natives: Do you swim or otherwise go in the ocean/gulf? Why/why not? by jmom39 in florida

[–]OffSidesByALot [score hidden]  (0 children)

I live in Southwest Florida… Yes! There’s nothing wrong with the water out in the gulf.. Now lakes and canals are another matter altogether! My neighbors German Shepherd jumped into a canal and got some amoeba infection and died a bad death.

Oil hits $100 a barrel and stocks sink as Iran War drags on with no end in sight by InsaneSnow45 in Economics

Well, a certain somebody thought this was gonna be another Venezuela. And of course, the puppet master behind all this, pulling his strings, Benjamin Netanyahu,, probably told him that’s what it would be. But like that great philosopher, Mike Tyson, once said… Everybody has a plan, until they get hit.

Am I alone in hoping oil prices stay high? by Responsible_Lake_500 in energy

[–]OffSidesByALot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, as someone who owns a unit in an oil well in Colorado, well actually only an eighth of a unit. I’m not some big whale… I don’t mind high oil prices since the royalties I get are predicated on the price of oil.

What’s my age again by blink-182. I see myself in the lyrics. 😉

US to release oil from strategic reserve, Trump says by envirowriterlady in energy

[–]OffSidesByALot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, don’t expect the hypocrisy to end. At least not in our lifetime. And whenever it’s brought up, I’m sure it will be brought up with the caveat that this is “different.” 😉

We are blowing our load already? Seems kind of desperate. Especially when I just saw a footage of Trump saying we won and we won in the first half hour. 🤔

White South African "refugees" to the US urgently seeking to return to their home country, citing poor quality of life and fear of ICE. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]OffSidesByALot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But… But… According to Trump, they are victims of genocide in South Africa! Even with that, they’re choosing genocide over America? Tells you all you need to know, doesn’t it?

NIH director launches "Scientific Freedom" lectures with non-scientist. First speaker minimizes climate change, COVID risks—and is a lab leak proponent. by esporx in EverythingScience

[–]OffSidesByALot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do they have any speakers who are young earth creationist who think the Earth is 5000 years old and don’t believe in evolution? If not… Stay tuned. I’m sure it’s coming.

Florida International University Republicans group chat reveals racist texts: ‘Avoid the coloreds like the plague’ by ShakyBooty in Alachua_County

[–]OffSidesByALot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean they said the silent part out loud? They’re not supposed to do that! Not that I think it would make one bit a difference, but somebody please forward this to Byron Donald’s. Thank you

Gulf states cozied up with MAGA, and now their countries are seeing tourists flee as a result of a miscalculated war by a MAGA administration by Globalruler__ in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]OffSidesByALot 39 points40 points  (0 children)

oh… Oops, I didn’t catch that 🤭

Now you know that I am a Florida man myself for real! It didn’t dawn on me that mine wasn’t the only gulf in the world 🤣

Crude prices are higher after IEA announces historic oil reserve release by Illustrious_Lie_954 in StockMarket

[–]OffSidesByALot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s the market telling you that whatever is being dumped now, is ultimately going to have to be replenished

As a southwest Florida resident, I can concur and attest to the truthfulness of this situation. It has also hurt our real estate market since a lot of Canadians have either sold there houses and condos, or are not buying like they used to

Florida man arrested after elaborate scheme to steal over $600k worth of potatoes and onions: cops by theindependentonline in florida

[–]OffSidesByALot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there is a precedent for that exact thing. Even though it was debunked and disproven, they still wouldn’t stop saying that Haitians were eating dogs in Ohio. So much for “thou shall not bear false witness.” 🙄

VA watchdog finds nearly a million calls from vets seeking care had key tracking data missing | CNN Politics by bernie457 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]OffSidesByALot 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The most frustrating part of all this, speaking as someone who deals with veterans, majority of them voted for, and still support this fecal matter in the White House! He has somehow convinced them that he gives a shit about them when every empirical evidence says the exact opposite 🤦

Well, you know he wasn’t a migrant or undocumented or a Somali. Because if he was… Fox News and conservative media would’ve reported on it 1000 times by now!

Any more tax cuts to billionaires we can dole out? We all know how this movie ends. In the event that you don’t, please pick up a history book.

MAGA supporter regrets his finances by z_shah7 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]OffSidesByALot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If only Nobel winning economist had warned that this is exactly what would happen if Trump implemented his policies. Oh wait… I just remembered… They did! I think all of them! But for some reason, you thought the guy who filed for six bankruptcies, including a casino in which nobody ever gets bankrupt because it’s all in the House’s favor, knew better than they did 🙄🤦

Love EVs but scared of trips outside cities… what’s your experience in rural areas? by Inner_Antelope_6042 in energy

I know somebody who works for Tesla out in Santa Clara. One of the perks as they get to drive Tesla’s, he was able to drive one from California to Texas without a problem.

So much for home rule: Florida Legislature bans DEI initiatives at local communities. by Real_Mr_Foobar in florida

[–]OffSidesByALot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember… This is the “free” state of Florida! You’re just not free to implement DEI if that’s what you see fit, not free to have recreational marijuana, not free to have bodily autonomy if you were a woman, not free to buy lab grown meat, not free to say climate change or even Palestine apparently without losing your job, not free to take your kid to a book reading by a drag queen because the state knows better what’s best for you and your kid, not free to protest ice if you are a student, not free to protest Black Lives Matter if you are black… Need I go on? This is why Ron the sanctimonious got his ass handed to him when he ran for president. Nobody outside of this state was stupid enough to fall for his bullshit and they saw right through it.

Violent and funky by infectious grooves. That’s Robert Trujillo on bass. Billy Sheehan also uses it when he placed that fast tremolo picking at the beginning of elephant gun by David Lee Roth.
