  1. It ain't just flipping a switch you know. Some of them are also being converted to produce renewable diesel to meet environmental requirements. Nobody gives a fuck when cracks are negative and bleeding billions in cash. Long-term business investment decisions are made and capital is redirected away from dying business models into growing ones. That's how it works.
  2. Ahh just add more refining capacity. Seems easy. Let's just do that.
  3. My family can't understand this either. It was an obvious choice for me, but that doesn't mean I'm on either 'team'. It was about doing the right thing...period.
  4. Appliance shortages seem to be hit and miss based on brand and model. When we were shopping the worst were Bosch dishwashers, Wolf ranges, and Sub-Zero refrigerators. All built-in fridges were pretty bad though. We found a Miele dishwasher in stock and ordered a range and oven from Blue Star. All were delivered within two months which was unheard of based on what we were being told. Decided to just keep our KitchenAid fridge for now assuming it doesn't die.
  5. I honestly can't believe how many people blame the President for literally everything going wrong. Reading comments online is mind numbing. I thought 'conservatives' were being unfairly censored from social media and yet it's all that seems to be posted on every story about anything. There isn't a single topic I can read about without at least one Let's Go Brandon response.
  6. Great ribs are great, but they're rarely great.
  7. Until recently, every time the cracks shot to the moon there was enough capacity to quickly squash them by running full tilt for a few months and flooding the market. That incremental capacity is now gone due to shutdowns over the past few years so there is no longer a quick fix. It really made no sense for refiners to add capacity through an entirely new refinery so they would add through smaller unit upgrades. We'll see if that changes going forward, but my guess is no. Refining isn't really a growth business.
  8. Same for me. These people are shortsighted fools and honestly we'd be better off if they moved on to a different industry.
  9. Grew up eating French's yellow, but prefer Heinz or Whataburger yellow now. Heinz brown isn't spicy at all, but has a unique flavor that I like. Also enjoy the whole grain versions from various brands. Can't remember where I get this one, but it's good stuff.
  10. This is such a weird argument. Surly gonna Surly.
  11. All I know is the Mizzou fans who would come to Stillwater kind of sucked. Talked a lot of shit for being so mediocre.
  12. Love me some good waterfall charts.
  13. Trading up every two years probably helps although there are clearly still plenty of issues on Range Rovers of all ages. I'd probably argue that any $100K+ vehicle should have no serious issues within two years, but maybe that's asking too much.
  14. You don't have to convince anyone the Big XII is shit. You guys already left and none of the rest of us have any other options.
  15. Ha, Pace was the only 'salsa' we had in our house growing up. Maybe that's all they sold in Oklahoma in the 80's? I just always remember it wasn't good.
  16. Yeah the only software issues I've had with mine are the gestures screw up when trying to close apps sometimes. It's only certain apps and not really sure when it started.
  17. One of the 'a' model Pixels. 6a is coming out soon. 5a is a solid phone too from what I read, but is no frills and already a year old. I have the 4a.
  18. The existence of this thread and that it's still alive is all that needs to be said. The OSU's and ISU's of the world holding down Texas.
  19. This is going to turn into another tipping debate isn't it?
  20. The creeping up of minimum tip suggestions over the years is bullshit. Menu prices are out of control already so let's ask for a higher percentage of a higher base. How about fuck you?
  21. Shit, I don't know then. Wife makes scrambled eggs for the kids every Saturday in either carbon steel or stainless. I don't eat or cook them so I wouldn't know the tricks.
  22. This is a completely new take. Hadn't thought of it that way.
  23. I'd just use my stainless if the carbon steel wasn't working. I'll never buy another non-stick pan. I actually never plan on buying another pan ever. All-clad D3, deBuyer, and Staub. Love all of them and none will ever wear out.
  24. Okay, enough oil. I don't know what the problem is as ours works just fine. My wife does tend to over scrub them though which removes some of the non-stick each time.
  25. Work fine for us as long as you use oil.
