Not in a majority of the country, they still use contract gig employees using personal vehicles in my town.

pls dont

I refuse to buy anything except real chocolate bars by lindt or similar “premium” brands

Honestly, some of the best chocolate you can get is just semi-sweet baking chips

3.5% fee is now permanent even if fuel prices drop

also 0% of this fee will go towards the last-mile contract delivery drivers

Fuck you mean? All the US oil majors are ROLLING in cash right now, they still have plenty of supply but get to profit from global shortages. They love this shit.

And the oil markets responded appropriately, WTI is now $112.

Bye bye any economic performance for all of 2026!

Oh yeah. Global logistics with slow-boat tankers are scheduled multiple months in advance to keep the machine flowing. With every single route now completely thrown awry, there’s no going back for at least a year.

If IONOS is involved in anything I automatically assume they’re in the wrong. What a fucking scumbag of a predatory company. I made the mistake of using them for some web hosting and ended up being charged for extra contracts that you CANNOT CANCEL AND TRIPLE IN PRICE HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONTRACT.

Fuck them I cancelled my debit card.

What is he doing?

Pump stocks it’s time to sell off

Oh I’m sure he’s thought of it, but can’t say the truth out loud because it will make him look bad.

Do you have another playback device you can test with?

FireTV sticks and honestly a lot of consumer televisions are always suspicious when there’s random stutter issues.

It really needs USB-PD support with an onboard regulator, but of course that would be way too crazy to implement.

Pi’s were cool up until the 3b and everything after has just not been good for the form factor. Conveniently, the 3B was about the time they started prioritizing selling volume to commercial customers.

You know it’s not :(

Basically the only benefit the Pi has is GPIO pins for embedded projects.

lol

lmao, even

Nah. Instead of inflation being corporations stealing my purchasing power, it’s now the value of my labor being inflated so the same wage buys less work.

Reverse inflation

Yeah right, with what fucking free cash? Everyone screams “buy EV” but I can only afford to get $2500 used vehicles and put sweat equity into them. There are no used EV’s in affordable price brackets that aren’t full of tracking electronics. Plus I can’t move landscaping equipment, trash, or like 90% of the tools I need with one like I can with my 32 year old Chevy truck.

With careful managing two barrels of gas will get me 5 months. I’ll figure it out after that.

Guess I’ll fill that second 55gal barrel I have with gasoline.

Saudi Arabia wants the US to keep their oil prices high to pad their coffers.

SA’s lifting cost for oil is somewhere around $3/bbl but all their other government spending and development programs brings their actual budgetary breakeven cost closer to like $90/bbl. The past year they’ve spent south of $70/bbl has been bleeding money.
