  • I’m being speculative on everything besides the oil reserves keeping costs down and that supplies of our emergency reserves are being used up. At the current rate of loss, there’s another 11 or so months total left before hitting empty, and the US absolutely will not let the emergency reserves go to empty.

    As to the speculative bits: The US government is a pretty easy book to read at this point. Trump has the logic of a ten year old and his base is nothing but sheep with short memories. The oil reserves HAVE to stop getting used, and Trump always blames anyone else for anything bad that happens. So when the oil prices don’t get subsidized, prices will go up, and he will say it’s all the Democrats fault. Then of course more expensive fuel means more expensive transport costs for goods, which means your cost of your favorite cookies that was packaged 4 states over is also going to cost more.

  • Just an fyi to US people. Gas prices will stay around what they are right now until after the November. At that point the emergency reserves the US has been using up to keep fuel prices lower will be too low to keep using to supplement pricing, and the old orange guy will blame Democrats taking over in the midterms for the prices going up.

    The prices will go up quite a lot, and this will in turn once again provide a reason and excuse for all other costs on things like food to also go up.

    In other words, shit is going to get even worse while under this government and in this bullshit war.

    Yeah. Raw onions are just about the only food ingredient I absolutely can’t stand to eat. But I love sauteed onions. I work at a fire house and do a lot of the cooking on shift. If anyone bitches about a lack of onions, I tell them I’ll add onions at the same time I add Habaneros. I love crazy hot stuff, but contrary to popular firefighter belief, most of the guys are huge weenies when it comes to spicy.


  • You mean like this shit from the Torah? “5:4 IntroductionThis mishnah teaches that in a legal sense, sexual relations with a girl over the age of three counts as sexual relations.I should emphasize that this mishnah in no way condones such an act (which is certainly rape) it just teaches that this counts as an act of intercourse. At the core of this notion is their understanding of the physical consequences of intercourse for the first time namely the breaking of the woman’s hymen. As we can see at the end of the mishnah, if a girl has intercourse (i.e. is raped) before the age of three her hymen will repair itself. After the age of three, it will not. This, to the rabbis, means that after the age of three, intercourse “counts” in a legal sense. Before the age of three, it does not.”





  • Got a phone more powerful and better than anything Samsung has released, and it has aux. RM 11 pro.

    Many phones out there actually have aux and even micro SD slots, still. They just aren’t in the US because everyone subsidized their phone purchases through bullshit carrier lock in deals and it’s all almost exclusively a handful of Samsung or iPhone for options.

    My android phone has aux, an ir blaster, big ass battery, waterproof fan powered cooling, 1TB storage and 24GB of ram. It was just under a grand.
