I agree that $300 is steep, but you also got what you paid for.

The New Trent looks OK but it is BT which is a negative for me and on top of that it uses what looks like a USB mini charging cable. And that’s a double negative for me. My English teacher always taught me not to never write a double negative sentence.

THANK YOU.

No, Vader always has the low ground.

Vader at 43? Are you high? 

Ah, yes. I fondly remember Darth Millennial’s many battles with Jedi Master Boomer

a complete breakdown of this episode’s pros and cons:

Yeah, not for nothing, but the Chinese Communist Party and its mouthpiece can get fucked in hell, and you shouldn’t be passing along their propaganda even labeled as such.

Trump’s response was utterly incompetent, and the blood of tens of thousands of Americans is on his hands. But it’s not as if that magically makes…

Correct! A good reminder he shouldn’t be in office.

Trump did specifically say “I don’t take responsibility at all”.

I was about to mock you Americans because this vid is both hilarious and spot-on, but then I remembered I’m Brazilian, our president is a Trump butt-licker sociopath, and thanks to Brazilian government following the exact same lunacy, we’ve already surpassed China in casualties. So I’ll just curl up and cry...

This looks like the rally Trump held a couple weeks ago where he laid out a timeline that only showed his active decisions and ignored all the missed opportunity to limit damage. Maybe if governments were more interested in protecting their people than assigning blame to anybody but themselves there would be less than…

You didn’t really explain what is happening with oil prices though. Futures were expiring for the nearest contracts today and someone was caught long and Wall St wrecked their world and probably just bankrupted them.

Yup. You need one of these bad boys just to take advantage of a single (1) futures contract. 15' diameter and 30' tall. If my math is correct, that setup in the picture below is worth a cool quarter million dollars ($253K roughly).

BTW, at 1st glance, I thought that was Mike Pence in the image with the graph. Had to do a double-take... all this vodka is getting to me.

Little bit of clarification for non-energy nerds: This was the WTI May futures contract, which expires tomorrow. That means that if you hold one of these contracts, you are about to have to take physical delivery of the oil at Cushing, OK. Normally this is the point that traders would offload their contracts to…

Hey Texas, are you tired of winning yet?

“...sounds like the perfect time to bring back coal!”

...which is why I’m considering turning my office into oil storage to help cover my rent.
