Do you have any counter points or just a cheap joke?

It’s not insinuating that at all, in fact the article is pretty clear that this isn’t some sign of things to come, it’s pretty much only because OPEC and the US have been increasing supply of oil even though demand has been fairly stagnate or dropping. OPEC usually will slow production when prices get too low so there’s a good chance prices will start going back up again soon. The only reason this would be sustainable is if they chose to continue this level of production which they’d only do if they felt it could benefit them long term (for example if they think lower gas prices will prevent an increase in EV purchases, which is possible but not likely at this point).

This article is about a 19% drop in the last 2 months. Alternative energy methods didn’t increase in popularity/use enough in the last 2 months to cause that much of a drop. The article uses a decent amount of actual data analysis and sources and shows a pretty clear causality between the growth of supply and the stagnation of demand that led to the price drop.

Renewable energy has definitely led to an overall drop in price over the last 15 years but it wouldn’t cause a drop this drastic without a huge increase in use or improvement in technology.

For what it’s worth, I wish I had this feature on my garage fridge. It’s getting older and sometimes the door just doesn’t close all the way. Because of the way my house is laid out, you can only hear the beep if you’re in the kitchen (and even then it’s not very clear) so it might sit open for hours before being noticed. Granted, this feature is definitely not worth buying a smart fridge and I probably wouldn’t want one in my garage, but I wish I had something to fix that problem.

So was this a sting? I’m not sure how he didn’t realize something was off when “accident” and “normal shooting” were the same price

Yeah literally the first and the third movie are about stealing Christian holy relics, this is just Indiana Jones with a lead of South American descent

What a humble brag

I have a Thicc Charizard hanging from my rear view mirror!

Also, aren’t executive orders still subject to Supreme Court rulings? What would stop them from just overruling it again?

I sorta loaded this picture in my brain like pictures used to load on slow internet - from the top down. So I saw the arms and the small face and thought it was one sloth looking through its back legs as it hung. So then I continued to load the rest of the picture and when I saw the big face, I tried to make that fit with my earlier interpretation so, for half a second, I thought that sloth had a face for an asshole

Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

Yeah sounds like a Purple Cow, I’d be all over that

I do a strict order but it’s generally by what I consider the main parts of the dish. So I always eat the main dish before the sides and if there’s multiple sides, I’ll eat the more “important” one first and so on. There’s not much logic to it, my brain just sorts it out automatically

This is one of the reasons I don’t leave my job even though I don’t love it. I have job security out my ass, it’s a huge company that has almost no chance of being bought (I think we’re the biggest company in our field but maybe 2nd), the pay is good enough and there’s no asshole middle management. I’m absolutely willing to do boring work for the rest of my life and not have to worry about that kind of stuff.

From what I’ve heard, Tik Tok is pretty aggressive with its bans for things it considers inappropriate

I think it’s specifically a PS4/PS5 thing. I couldn’t find other controllers with an Options/Share combination. And I imagine if you use a PS4/PS5 controller for PC, it handles it differently. But it makes sense since the controller wasn’t designed for that.

I haven’t played Overwatch or Minecraft but every game I’ve played with one of those options used pressing in the touchpad to do that. I’ve never played a game where the share button didn’t share somehow.

I just looked it up and for Minecraft it’s used to take a screenshot or bring up a screenshot menu. I couldn’t find anything for Overwatch though. Are you sure you didn’t remap the button? Or are you using it for PC? It might work different in that case.

I do agree that menu would’ve been a better name, but that doesn’t mean that Options doesn’t make more sense than Start which is what the original comment said.

I get being nostalgic for Start/Select but how does Options/Share not make more sense? The options button brings up a menu of options for most games and share allows you to share screenshots or video from the game. Whereas start did the same thing options does now which has nothing to do with the word Start and Select was sorta a catch all button for an action you only used occasionally, but was never used for selecting which was usually X but sometimes one of the other shapes.

This is a problem with all of these Tik Tok clones (and even Tik Tok let’s you do it for some videos). It’d so annoying to be watching a 45 second reel but if I miss something, I have to watch the whole thing again

I’ve definitely been high and misunderstood simple concepts before. But I handle that but not trying to have complicated discussions on world economics while I’m high. It’s pretty easy to avoid
