  • Crude oil prices are up more than 15% since the conflict began amid production stoppages ​as Tehran attacks energy facilities in the Gulf as well as ships crossing the Strait.

    Prices at the pump are ~$3.80. It’s at times like this, when the pedo-in-chief starts a full-on war in Iran, that I’m glad a Democrat isn’t president, as oil would be up 120% and the price at the pump would be near $7 with stickers of the president plastered all over it saying “I DID THAT.”

    Edit: sarcasm, for anyone who can’t parse it - not entirely sarcasm though, I’m actually insinuating the fossil fuel industry controls prices and will use price control to actively hurt a Democrat in office by keeping prices artificially higher than they would if a Republican was in the same office.




  • This is a really late reply but I just read this again and it’s surprising how similar the paths you and I have traveled are. I was a Linux guy since 1998 (server side). In about 2002 my company gave me a Macbook because we had to develop for Macs and it became my daily driver for web and email. Since then I have had a succession of Macbooks as daily drivers, I am currently posting this to you from a 2020 MBA. I never had a problem with Apple hardware except their shit laptop keyboards from 2016-2019, but I’ve always had a Windows desktop around for gaming. I also do music production and atm I have a 2019 MM running Logic (I had a 2016 MBP that since I hated it so much because of the keys, I just was using it for a music machine, but it experienced a mobo failure).

    I’ve completely wiped Windows now. I’m all Macs for laptops/daily/music and Linux for everything else. Happy as can be.

    Anyway, cheers!
