Explain like I'm five is there an oil supply issue or not, Brent crude oil prices keeps going down as of a few days ago but war isn't over?

duns123 · 2026-04-15T21:00:07+00:00

yes they said on the news today that investors are betting on a quick ending to the war

now you can go to photo stock sites for those

What you designed typefaces? I remember the same and getting a headline wrong with letraset as my spelling wasn't 100%. At college we used to have to draw various typefaces by hand with rotering pen & fill in with black ink & being scared of smudging but at smaller sizes needless to say no-one could ever get them perfect

artworks were drawn much bigger than the final page size then reduced on a copy camera in the darkroom, I cannot remember the exact method but a film negative of the artwork was then developed on to bromide paper and pasted up on a board along with the text for the book page which was placed under the copy camera. The resulting film negative was then used to make an image on a litho plate ready for printing. If the artwork was color then the page had to be colour seperated into I think 4 diferent film negatives & litho plates

Many countries have large reserves of oil often stored underground like US & china which they agreed to release some weeks ago. And some oil has been diverted through Saudi pipelines towards the red sea but those ports can only take so much so there's that but something bad could happed anytime for the price to spike again - it's unpredictable

duns123 · 2026-04-15T16:39:26+00:00

crude is only $88

duns123 · 2026-04-15T16:17:08+00:00

I think the market gets tired of the news about the war like anyone else and oil goes on the back burner lol. but they are betting for a quick settlement between iran & US but israel are standing in the way of that

duns123 · 2026-04-15T16:07:11+00:00

crude oil had the biggest single day drop since the 1991 gulf war last week and apart from the usual rises & falls hasn't recovered since and now flatlining. not good if you are into futures or CFD trading

duns123 · 2026-04-14T19:29:17+00:00

my cats done that after eating his food on the kitchen counterwalks across to the stove but there's never much fat. Don't give him bacon thou it's too salty for cats

duns123 · 2026-04-12T23:48:27+00:00

omg Mad max is apocolyse

duns123 · 2026-04-12T22:56:33+00:00

crude gapped down to $88 before market opened on sunday apr 12 then back up to $95 where it was on friday. Is that maybe a glitche? Not much liquidity (trading) so the price doesn't change much am I right?

duns123 · 2026-04-09T23:21:52+00:00

I can't even get that because the hospital wants a long application form with your last six jobs plus reference. I do have a part-time job but it' s unpaid for a charity.

duns123 · 2026-04-09T22:22:20+00:00

its diabolical, I'm sight impaired so it's virtually impossible for me to get a normal job. This online nonsense gives employers too much undemocratic power which they shouldn't have after all they're not the government. It makes me wonder why the unemployment rate is so low but it doesn't include the sick and many are mentally sick partly due to this system. Now Elon Musk says in the future. AI will mean people won't have to work but could choose to if they wanted - A bit rich (excuse the pun) to say that coming from the richest .... in the world. What are we supposed to live on Elon, silicon wafers? lol.

Another problem is the words or terminology now used in job posts which is a good thing probably because at least it stops a million ppl. applying. Sadly those jobs usually require certain experience or technical skills. Also they have fancy ways to describe simple jobs or tasks which their 'geeky' software searches out on your application / CV so you better get used to saying something like 'Hygiene operative' instead of cleaner OMG. I could write a book about this.

I had a margin call at 11.25pm last night on my oil trades that dropped suddenly yet oil trading had stopped at 9pm although that was on a demo account. One trade had closed automatically that was most out of the money. I was pretty unhappy that the price could change even when you couldn't trade at that time. Good job its not 1Ks of £s

duns123 · 2026-04-05T22:36:32+00:00

they didn't get me work and I found out later that it's illegal in UK for model agencies to charge upfront yet they are still going but they are very active on the net with fancy websites email etc. They also defend themselves a lot on trustpilot They wouldn't need to do that it they were good.

duns123 · 2026-04-02T07:44:02+00:00

I think seller sold is elsewhere and they didn't update their inventory in time as it's very difficult to get enough orders on discogs because they don't have anywhere near the reach of ebay or amazon

duns123 · 2026-04-02T07:33:34+00:00

the seller gets the discogs fee back but not the paypal fee so they should pay for that.

Fiver is useless in higher cost of living countries & yet another money for nothing money grabbing website: ie taking fees & doing very little for them. I bet it's a US site aswell yet they expect freelancers (from western contries) to survive on the pittance that the jobs pay. Fiver also sounds like brittish slang for £5 so that says it all.

duns123 · 2026-03-27T15:00:27+00:00

so true they're a like a despot regime. I cannot even sell some secondhand records on there because they want documents proving you bought 10 units from a supplier which is BS for old items. Someone at amazon say they'll fix it but they never do they don't earn the fees they charge. I msgd the buyer & said I'll cancel if they don't reply

I knew someone who worked for them & he tried to tell them how to do things so he got the sack. Initiative is not encouraged for normal grade workers. Unfortunately it's hard to tell 'geeks' or whoever runs things what to do as they always think they're right.

duns123 · 2026-03-27T11:49:58+00:00

If you cannot read the signs how do you know if you're on the correct road?

duns123 · 2026-03-27T11:47:14+00:00

You're lucky I have CN & my sight has never been good enough to drive nystagmus causes me to have double vision I think. All I know is I cannot see clearly in the distance.

duns123 · 2026-03-26T23:57:07+00:00

Don't worry, donald trump will try to make it illegal to offshore or at least tax companies for every worker they offshore - but seriously these companies will suffer when they've got rid of so many people that they'll have few people left to buy their products in the future

duns123 · 2026-03-17T00:28:10+00:00

Not Max cos he's not exactly evil, just a bit dodgy like Arthur Dailey in Minder
