  1. He probably has a second fully remote job and is working from home to ease his tasks. Half ass work on both but pulling down two salaries. It’s quite popular these days.
  2. Just to be clear what I wrote was definitely with this sort of thing in mind 😂
  3. Solid $2-3 of that is just California gas tax. That plus their requirements for special gasoline blends resulting in a limited supply to their market, which means they are trapped in a web of their own weaving.
  4. The exports go out of the gulf coast down to Central and Southern America. Due to the hesitance to build out further pipeline and the protectionist Jones Act we do not have the capability or capacity to transport the excess fuel from the gulf coast over to the east coast. The Jones Act requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried on ships that have been constructed in the United States and that fly the U.S. flag, are owned by U.S. citizens, and are crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. We simply do not have that many American made, American crewed product tankers.
  5. Gold is at 1841, lowest since Feb. I don’t really understand the gold price action in general. It seems to go down when you expect it to go up.
  6. The high inflation and low rates is by design, they are inflating the debt away. It’s financial repression.
  7. I work in international oil and gas in one of the former USSR states and I have heard some pretty wild stories from my colleagues who have worked in Russia, and many of them have. I have heard stories about everything from prison convicts being pressed into service as labor on projects that are behind schedule, oligarchs flying in to site locations on private jets to demand work is completed on schedule regardless of the safety consequences (critical crane lifts performed in extremely high wind conditions) then flying back out once the work was completed. And many others. One thing they all mention is the standard oil spill clean up response - launch some flare guns at it until it burns off then just carry on. So yea, they have a pretty shit safety culture and don’t care who gets injured or killed along the way.
  8. I skied there Sunday. It was pretty fuckin icy. I slipped out twice on some corduroy that I thought was groomed but was really just ribbed ice 😂. Didn’t help that I had brought my rock board which hasn’t been tuned in about 3 years.
  9. You guys have these regimes all wrong. They’ll do it in a heartbeat while claiming it’s all legitimately Russian grown grains, and denying any evidence to the otherwise.
  10. I wouldn’t have said anything at all if slapdick #1 and 2 didn’t have a twenty message private slapfight up there. That shits annoying.
  11. Most of my flying is 20 hour + international trips. I like to settle in and have a drink or two before I start that party. Plus I take the train to dia from downtown and I like to leave a little leeway 🤷🏻‍♂️.
  12. I’m neg repping everyone who’s dragging CR shit in here. Keep it in your little shit play pen.
  13. You have a short to ground somewhere in that circuit. Try tracing the wiring and looking for damaged insulation, uncovered wiring connections / solder points, etc.
  14. Double blacks are all about the snow conditions. Spring conditions, ok, powder day, hell yes. All the rest is a serious judgement call.
  15. Man you aren’t kidding. Just reading that note, think of getting the ski boot off that fucked up leg. Ouch.
  16. Yea it’s a bad one, takes a while to heal. Really good it was stabilized by the boot. That’s a pretty common skiers injury unfortunately. https://www.explorebigsky.com/doctors-note-boot-top-fractures-painful-often-require-surgery/18039
  17. One of my friends got that same ski boot fracture in Jackson hole around 2013 or so. It’s a hell of a hill.
  18. Happens on safari and duck duck go. I usually use duck duck go but safari can take the length a little more with the Twitter embeds. It cries uncle after a while though.
  19. For the record I appreciate all the posts going on here, I just want to be able to read them all as well.
  20. My phone will stop loading pages and it’s impossible for me to read the rest of a page, it shits out then reloads the page constantly trying to complete it unsuccessfully.
  21. Not sure about all the other sources of sulfur but At least some of the very high h2s oilfields that would create a lot of pure sulfur for the global markets have moved to reinjection of high h2s gas for reservoir pressure maintenance.
  22. Don’t forget to give a shout-out to the Knox city greyhounds while you’re there.
