One game ain't going to kill us. Now, if you ever become a season ticket holder, then we have a problem. Might have to give them to me.

I paid I $3.19 today. In a couple weeks it should be well under $3.00

Update: gas is now $2.99 in west Chambers Co.

The 17 year old who filmed himself urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave and posting it on the internet, has been arrested.

Not surprising..... There would of been absolutely nothing he could of done that you would approved of. That's OK though - no money from US is being given to them, and if they don't live up to agreement, we have option to go back to bombing......

I did and should of kept it, but traded it in for a 2012 Ford F150 Ecoboost - biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased new. I had to replace timing chain at 94K. The 2011 I’m referring to I bought my son in high school. I paid 15,500 drive out and it had 100k miles on it. When he went to college, I took his truck and traded in my 2012 piece of crap and got him a new car because he was going to Texas State. I wanted to make sure he had something dependable since I would be about five hours away.

That is easy to say, but I'm not sure more perception than reality. Trust me, my Dad built me a 65 Mustang from the ground up and gave to me for my 16th birthday in 1982, custom paint job and all.....so I know where you're going, but.... My work Truck is a 2011 Ford F150 Lariat 5.0 Coyote engine......When I parked her at work today, her milage was 309800. She has original engine and transmission. I don't recall 1960's or 1970's vehicles getting that kind of milage out of original engine. The only things that don't work are key fob....cause my ex-wife washed it...SMH - and the rearview camera (cause I don't wanna fix it) I don't drive her any further than I want to toe her home......but she makes he drive from Port Arthur to Vidor 5 days a week, plus around town on the weekends.

The curse lives on. My wife and I have been to at least one Astros game a year starting in 2019 (except 2020 of course) and they have lost every single one. Brought our 2 year old daughter to her first game on Saturday, but she was not enough to break our family's bad juju smh.

Yeah. In 1973 I was was making $1.70 an hour. By January 1974 it was around 46¢ a gallon and I was making $2.00.

I will.

Paid $3.33 @ H-E-B in Lumberton yesterday.

Issue the U.S. has--I may/may not have mentioned previously--is that most of our refineries are set up to process heavy, sour crude. We haven't made the investments to be able to process our own WTI. That should be a priority, and would be a good use of incentive funding for national security purposes. Just get us to at least a 60/40 spit.

For folks (subscribers) waiting on the DCTF mag it should be coming in starting next week. 🙌🏾 Mine comes in between Wednesday and Friday.

The deal might as well be written on toilet paper because they will violate it you can bank on it. As for as bombing them that might trigger them closing off the strait again but as you’ve said other countries are looking for other alternatives for their oil but it would still hurt the global economy imo. We should have been all in from the beginning to take out the oppressive regime and secure the uranium or not go in at all imo. Trump ran his piehole too much and Iran called his bluff. What a mess.

I may have posted this before but I think of Reagan everytime I see it. Lol

Never took the shot and never was a thought common sense to me

My uncle had a Crowflite station on Yale in Houston. One time during a gass war gas was 6.9 cent with full service in 58. When I got outa school in 62 gas was 19.9 in Leggett and my first job was in Camden at the ESSO station gas was 23.9. Was making 75 cent an hour. Had enough money to keep the 39 Pontiac full, run around and pay Mama some every week. Miss those days except when I went into the Army.

I am not old enough to know about 70's culture, but late 80's and 90's I miss the way women looked. Almost none of them were tatted and pierced or had dyed blue hair. I saw a woman in a club this week. She had gigantic tatted wings covering up her back, and multiple tatts everywhere else. Fugly.

I think we’ll be in good shape by all star break. Finally got some pitching working for us, except for that Arighetti outing.

Exactly. I genuinely have no idea, but it sounded good. Ha!

Series win 2-1 Alvarez number 25 Teng win Hader 2 Ks and Pop up to close.

I watched the whole game…..hoping. Arighetti has had several games like that. HR on the 1st batter is never good.

I'd expect the lower cost States (OK & TX) to be able to run around the $2.79-$2.99ish area as an average, except in the really rural areas where supply is a little more difficult to reach. Other States should run around the $3.29-$3.79ish range (outside of CA, HI, and AK). As mentioned previously, every drop of $10/bbl equates to approximately $.25/gal for gasoline. The National average should get back down to around $3.20-$3.50/gal. But, thats more due to the taxes charged by the majority of States, and the 3 outlier States that bump up the average. There may be some ups and downs along the way, but that's where the consistent average should fall out for the next 6 months to a year. A lot of people who deliver part-time for DoorDash, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Grubhub, and others probably aren't aware, if you itemize and receive a 1099-NEC, or 1099-K as an independent contractor, you can claim vehicle expenses--including gas taxes. Incidentally, you can also write off phone/data expenses according to how much you use it for your 'gig job.' Check with your tax professional to make sure you're getting any benefits allowable under your State and/or Federal tax laws. Even though the standard Federal deduction has been raised significantly, some people who deliver part time may want to do a comparison on if it's better for them to itemize based on all the deductions they can claim as an independent delivery driver for one of the delivery services. Don't just automatically assume the standard deduction is the best every year. (I used to always save gas receipts for my boats, and write off the taxes. Boats obviously don't use the roads, so you can claim the deduction on State gas taxes in Texas.)

Final 8-1 only 4 hits

48 cent gas

Those cars were built better than today’s. Real American steel. Today’s vehicles are soft and full of computer chips.

PBS poll on Trump should be unbiased. Lmao.

This guy is pretty funny and pretty accurate. Lol

Some people lead such negative lives. It subtracts years from your life. My grandkids make sure to add to mine. I’ve built up a surplus. Lol

Astro won 9-3. Peña with a 2 HR game. Altuve with a 3 run shot. Cam Smith made another highlight catch.

Got a wild 1st inning going.

Google: Controversy: Following the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the site published several articles promoting election fraud claims involving Dominion Voting Systems. This led to a defamation lawsuit, which resulted in the publication issuing a retraction acknowledging they relied on discredited sources. [1] You are funny. 🤣

Trump walks Iran into a trap! From the article: "And here you thought Trump was being naïve, trusting the word of a dishonest regime when in reality, he’s setting up checkmate. And here you thought Trump was being naïve, trusting Iran to adhere to the MOU (Memo of Understanding.). It’s not a treaty or an agreement or a promise. It’s just a memo. Here is what I think Trump is doing, four steps ahead of everyone else, as usual. Trump made a big deal out of signing the MOU publicly. Cameras, people standing around, a worldwide press event of the signing. But Trump knew, and still knows full well, that the Iranians have no intention of adhering to the memo or to any future deal. They will cheat. And when they do, Trump will be able to say, “The U.S. signed the MOU in good faith. The Iranians signed it, too. Now, world, you can see clearly that Iran alone on the world stage cannot be trusted to adhere to any agreement.” (China and Russia are another story for another time.) Trump’s tactic here is a weird and convoluted Alinsky move of “freezing the target,” isolating it (Iran), and then destroying it. Make no mistake that Trump is fully prepared to bomb them into particles if they break the MOU and any subsequent treaty/deal they will sign in the future. Trust the process!! Trump!

Out of curiosity, I looked this up with a Google search. I had heard about Libya’s sweet crude but not the others. Interesting: Crude oil is classified as "sweet" if it contains very low levels of sulfur (typically below 0.5%). While several countries produce high-quality, sweet crude, the highest-ranking oils based on extreme purity and low sulfur include: Kimray +4 Malaysia: Produces Tapis crude, which is frequently ranked as the cleanest crude in the world. It boasts remarkably low sulfur levels (as low as 0.03%) and a high API gravity, making it incredibly pure. Wikipedia +2 Algeria: Produces Saharan Blend, which is world-renowned for having almost zero sulfur content. Quora +2 Nigeria: Known for Bonny Light, a premium crude prized by refineries globally for its exceptionally low sulfur and high yields of high-value petroleum products. Quora +1 Libya: The country's crudes, such as Es Sider and Sharara, are exceptionally light and sweet, making them highly sought after in European refineries. Quora +1 Key Benchmarks: If you look at the largest volume and most widely traded sweet crudes, the United States (producing West Texas Intermediate) and the North Sea (producing Brent Crude) are the most famous global benchmarks for light, sweet crude

There are 4 different pipelines that can handle about 50% of the current loads through Hormuz as they’re built out right now. (Don’t quote me on the 50%. But, I think that’s close.) These can be expanded. But, they’ll still be easy targets for disruption in a volatile region, and the ME politics always makes a kink in usage/transport deals between the States & countries. They’re being used now, and are part of the reason oil hasn’t jumped as much as people thought. There was talk of rail between Saudi, Israel, and up north after the Abraham Accords. But, I don’t know how the relations are between Israel & Saudi right now after Gaza. I don’t think they’re great. Land bridges are already being used to a small extent by MSC (the shipping magnate). They could be expanded, and MSC & others are looking at that. I believe only 10% or so ships via land right now. Building anything between areas in this region is tough. So, I couldn’t give you a timeframe. But, since Iran has shown their hand, I’d expect any build to be quicker than in the past. Let’s say 2-3 years-ish per bridge for the ENC part of it. Bridges aren’t that difficult, and there are very talented people in that region as well. They’re not uneducated dummies like some think. Other water routes are pretty shallow and dangerous for the supertankers. The major benefactor is the Americas. Our routes are safe, easily insurable, and dependable without stressing over constant conflicts. The distance is a little longer. But, this can be scheduled around. Another benefit is that our light, sweet WTI is the cheapest product to refine. America, Venezuela, Canada, and other producers will be the big winners.

I'm saying the MOU isn't an agreement that's binding in any fashion. It's nothing more than a 'pinkie promise.'

I think it is a good ruling. Hunter should be ecstatic.

You knew it would see-saw hard & fast. I can’t recall an IPO in a long time that didn’t lose 50% of its value in the first year. Many have come back strong and stayed strong. You didn’t mention E*TRADE. That makes a difference on fees. Still the same for tax purposes. SpaceX is so different than other firms, I see it as more of a trade stock versus an investment stock for the shorter term. Long play, I think it definitely has legs. But, the mere nature of its business is high risk. Too risky for my taste as I’m already living on savings and investments. I was also worried about it being so dependent on the government and whatever Administration was in at the time. When reading the prospectus, 20% of it’s business was with the Feds.

Definitely tone deaf.

MAGA and bots 😂 Real conservatives and the rest of the world shaking their heads I honestly feel bad for Reagan, biggest man crush on sleepy Donald that I've ever seen.. dude foams at the mouth daily to talk about him.. he/she has that defend by all means mantra lol

😂

Oklahoma might win this thing..they have things bouncing their way and are hitting the piss out the ball

I don’t remember anyone celebrating a teenager killed. I am sure it happened though. I don’t celebrate anyone getting killed however there are some people that made their own bed. Where was it a couple of days ago that I saw two teenagers break into a home or business and one was shot and killed and the other got away? Am I happy that a couple of teens made a terrible mistake and one paid with his life? No. The parents now have to live with the grief from what happened but there’s a good likelihood that the parents caused it. I know that it wasn’t addressed to me but I don’t find it hypocritical to say that Anthony committed murder and Martin and the teen in the news a couple of days ago likely caused their own demise.

I hope Hegspeth and Ratcliffe trust him as much as you do. This an Israel based site that has been on X for 10 years just to save you the look up. Lol

A lot of big time transfers are being ruled ineligible. Wonder how this will play out for Babin.

Expect a but but but/comparison to something else.. meaning more L's for the bots and cult members..

Let me consult Carnac.
