Any time that critical thought isn’t used, sadness/disappointment can follow…AI is no exception. 😉

That site’s almost as entertaining as the Iranian LEGO channel! 😃

A friend of mine serves aboard the ‘Mighty Ike’ (CVN-69 Dwight D. Eisenhower) and he said while their tour prior to the ‘Abe’ was one of the less enjoyable sailings he’s made, it seems a lot better than what he was hearing of late coming from the Abe.

Segregate the data into income per capita percentiles and see what difference exists in the 0-80th (or 90th even) percentiles. The U.S. has always had greater ‘productivity’ in the higher percentiles than many other nations particularly fueled by tech. AI is exacerbating this trend, where a...

Go Liberal Progressive Conservatives! 😉 My PC membership ended when the Canadian Alliance screwed the PCs. I feel like a free agent at the moment, looking at both LPC and CPC to see if there’s enough stabilization to either to see if they convince me to commit one way or another. At this...

Looks like a Consumers Distributing store for booze…

Wasn’t implying it was anyone’s problem. If there is a meaningful sell-off, it will be interesting to see the sell-but prices and how much of a haircut some nations are willing to take to make a point and gain advantages elsewhere. I’m betting China is interested in buying up more...

https://ticdata.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Documents/slt_table5.html The globe owns about a quarter of the U.S. debt, ~9/39TUSD. Even a partial sell off would create major debt management and budgetary sustainability issues. I wonder who the biggest buyer(s) of...

Agree with those making the point that the validity-to-preference for renting (housing) shouldn’t primarily be based on degrading affordability of house ownership. Renting should remain a choice for those whom it suits, but not because house ownership has outstripped household earning and...

You’ll note that’s notably more an issue of the pumping infrastructure which includes geomorphic structures near the wellhead, not the underlying structure of the caverns themselves. Also the rate of daily drawdown. That said, there is varying opinion on where the “irreversible damage” tipping...

Sleep health and following the words of the Serenity Proverb… 👍🏼

Hence Venezuela… Collapse is generally a myth. They pump water in to raise the oil to nominal pump out levels. Oil being less dense floats and leaves water/brine below, so overall level in the cavern stays relatively constant…+/-

I’ve been sleeping fine under Mulroney, Campbell, Chretien, Martin, Harper, Trudeau and Carney, thanks, even though all those PMs were at one time or another accused of eschewing transparency during their governing. I’ve done what I’ve needed to do to both participate positively in Canada’s...

I’m not sure it’s even possible to predict what 10-155 years is going to look like, let alone 3-4 months. The U.S. can’t keep drawing down the SPR indefinitely. There are 53mbbls remaining in Trump’s 179Mbbl drawdown approval, so depending on drawdown rate, it could hit minimum in 2026.

Expect and partake in the political system to support better outcomes. Neither justification, nor deflection. Juxtaposition is valid, particularly when someone today is critiquing others for the same behaviour that they were a part of 11 and even more years ago.

Indeed, revenue is accrued, but the main purpose has been to buffer global prices so that domestic prices are buffered as well. At a certain point, the ability to buffer global prices will no longer be possible as the SPR hits a practical low limit for extraction.

U.S. SPR dips below 300mbbl for first time since 1983. https://www.spr.doe.gov/dir/dir.html

Neither, confirmation of what Jarnhammer notes below. Are we to believe that any party that gets into a majority position *will actually walk-walk the talk-talk of transparency? Have a political system that has greater inclusion of all parties. FPTP has issues, but no matter the push by the...

So, consistent with another (relatively) progressive conservative, who had a transparency issue with the opposition… https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/15/stephen-harper-master-manipulator

Practice for returning back to TRUMPFORCE 1 (his personal 757) when things are done?
