Something I have suspected for some time: There is more evidence that extreme winter cold in mid latitudes of #America and #Eurasia is related to #Arctic #GlobalWarming and #climatechange #weirding #PolarVortex . insideclimatenews.org/news/20112020/…

@Catman09651067 @gbrew24 Always better to hoard this ;)

@wwbein @gbrew24 5w-30 is not the weight in question, its the 0w makes

Motor oil suddenly being in short supply is one of those things that goes from being on nobody's radar to suddenly becoming incredibly salient, a bit like baby formula from the COVID-era.

@gbrew24 And besides who needs motor oil in 2026?

@gbrew24 Really?

@emilyinvc Grandmother Waymo, why do you have such busy wipers?

why does waymo have windshield wipers

@InyoEnjoyer Indeed.

Rode the D today. LA is the greatest city in the Universe and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know her.

@JoeyMannarino Just now.

We pay essentially 50% of our income in taxes to the United States & our public services and government services are essentially unusable. When’s the last time you’ve taken public transportation and felt safe? When’s the last time you had a pleasant experience in a DMV or other government office?

@JC_ParetsX Agreed. This looks much more like 1929.

Why do people keep comparing today’s market to 1999-2000? I’ve genuinely tried to find the similarities and I’m struggling. Can anyone explain the top conspiracy theories behind why this is supposedly the same environment?

@NotA_Bull Not the time for equities...

@wwbein Are you selling?

OPEN THE F***ING STOCK MARKET ALREADY!

@gamesblazer06 Live shot of my car.

Live shot of CA gasoline prices… 8 handles… No way the Consumer ain’t gonna feel this.

@MasterBJones A familiar trope.

The stock market is now 100% controlled by #AI trading. It doesn't give a shit about what you think should happen. It doesn't care about fundamentals. It doesn't care about the real economy. It doesn't care about the cost of wars. It only cares about how to make money. Right now it has decide dto go higher everyday to make money.

@investingluc Yes, I would e one of these.

I don’t think enough people are mentally prepared for the possibility that this isn't a bubble at all.

@negligible_cap Stocks can only go up.

Absolute bloodbath at the futures open. Can’t remember the last time we saw drops like these. Generational dip buying opportunity.

@hispanicnomad Nowhere as you won't have AC.

Say you make €120k a year fully remote but have to live in Europe Where do you live?

TSA Mustard

@greetfriends @missus_wormy Almost.

@wwbein @missus_wormy That’s almost a totally different statement

going to a Walmart or Target on a Saturday is a truly radicalizing experience

You only live once, so make sure to spend as much time as possible on your computer. You won’t have access to it when you die

@greetfriends @missus_wormy I had this translated into English: "Tangentially, an old college instructor used to assert that we must avoid falling into roles of menial dependency for others. This sentiment resonates with me whenever I find myself in a large-scale retail environment."

@missus_wormy Orthogonally, old college teacher regularly claimed we should never allow ourselves to be someone’s Costco Bitch. and I think about that every time I’m in one of those places

@LamarMK Indeed.

As a 3 year Tesla owner, here are the raw facts about ownership. Maintenance is basically nothing. Rotate your tires every 5 to 6k miles. Top off the washer fluid for $5. That's it. Meanwhile a gas car needs all of that plus oil changes, brake pads, transmission service, and a list of things that never end. Now stack that maintenance on top of $80 a week to fill up. The cost of owning a gas car compared to a Tesla isn't even close. Going electric was one of the best decisions I've ever made. You should make the switch too. What's stopping you from going all electric?
