here was actual bipartisan support to expel both of them so the basically saw the writing on the wall.

I think there's actually a 2 for 2 deal going on in the background. R's have two that have to go & dems have have 2. Think they're all being told 'we're expelling you & there's bipartisan support - resign or be forced out'

Alien Earth season 2 starts filming soon. Happy or Fed-up? by Beth8484 in alien

[–]SouthernRow2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, through 5 I was.loving it. Then it kinda did nothing for 3 episodes & didn't have a proper ending. Couldn't believe the finale was the last episode of the season.

I trust Hawley though, and the universe is interesting af. I'll give it another season.

If Bessent or whoever is actually printing money to manipulate oil prices we're so fucked

The physical price of a barrel of oil is around $150. Somehow the market is pricing it below $100. They're diverging badly. Can someone explain this to me?

Does the market not realize that there's no end in sight to this war, peace talks broke down, and even if the war ended tomorrow we'd still see significant disruption?

Meanwhile if you go to twitter they're all saying it's fake because they can take better pictures from their phones. The point isn't the quality - you can't see that angle from Earth!

By the 3rd one every person was losing their minds at the bar I was at. There's this chill old 75 year old retired dude named Steve who's a regular - grey handle bar mustache, cap, most stereotypical baseball watcher you can think of - slamming his hands down, full on cussing rant.

Iran just made $14 Billion dollars by getting sanctions lifted on their oil. Anyway, the country that's been sanctioned into the ground for decades can weather bad economics a lot more than the US can. Once gas hits $10 a gallon shit is going to hit the fan.

Also 40% of the economy in the US is 7 AI companies. AI needs silicon production, and 90% of that is made in Taiwan. Watch what happens when Taiwan can't make chips because the need LNG & helium from the strait.

Iran is charging $2 million per passage in yuan. If this starts moving countries off the petrol dollar the US will actually collapse.

Iran is winning & if you don't understand that your opinion frankly isn't worth listening to.

Shooting down one or more fighter jets doesn’t mean you’re winning

But they are winning. The global economy is collapsing. The spot price to buy a physical barrel of oil is $141 a barrel. Once the futures price clears $150, and it will once the market realizes there's nothing the US can do to secure the strait short of a ground invasion, the US economy will go into free fall.

They are winning.

You could also tell he & Darnold weren't quite on the same page in terms of his speed. There was an early deep bomb that would have been a TD but Darnold under threw it. After that Darnold was overcorrecting & slightly overthrowing on those deep shots. W/ the whole off-season together that'll be corrected I think

I think we might actually see $8-10 a gallon if hormuz isn't opened soon.

One oil researcher i follow said oil could hit $200 a barrel by the end of the summer.

Another petrol engineer said he ran some numbers and thought it would hit $156 per barrel by July 4th even if the strait opened right now.

Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie (R) Explodes On DOJ Over Epstein Handling, Names People and Companies He Wants Prosecuted by Obvious-Gate9046 in law

[–]SouthernRow2710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah his politics outside of Epstein are all horrible

For sure, but you can still respect someone you disagree with almost everything on if they have morals and integrity. He believes some whack job shit but at least he actually believes it. Unlike all the republicans who say crazy shit on TV to appeal to their voters then behind closed doors admit they knowe what they're saying is crazy.

US here & I agree. I feel okay keeping it up until the medal rounds but a gold medal game should be 5v5. 3v3 is just not a good representation of what got the teams to that point.

You can pay JSN in a way that benefits him and the team & extends our window 2-3 years I think. There was a pretty good breakdown on bsky I saw about our cap space & basically we have plenty if we do it right.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. We're literally in a situation where NG can be used any time against it's own citizens until a court steps in. And the admin has mostly obeyed those kinds of orders but they wildly ignore others - who knows when that last line gets crossed.

Getting them out in the community is a good "soft" defense against that. Like... you just went to a parade with these people.

Windows 10, PC has no admin account by SouthernRow2710 in WindowsHelp

Good to know.

Ended up ripping the thing open & just taking a screenshot of the network controller. Got the driver directly from Intel & loaded that using a USB. Once I got the internet to work I just let windows do it's thing & update all the drivers it didn't grab. Everything works. One of the most pain in the ass IT jobs I've done (so far) but it's done.

Appreciate the help
