    It's been up and down in the various sub sectors of the industry sector since the conflict in Iran started. But I mentioned it here that refining had been up 30% or so for the year before things in Iran started. Midstream (pipelines) had really been on a roller coast. Energy is still up >30 %...

    Not the price of oil but the energy sector is up more than 30% YTD. Did not see that coming at the start of the year. Crude down 15% early.

    WalMart has a sign when you enter that petroleum products are going up in price. Stuff like bath soap, dishwashing soap, etc... they had a really long list and I skipped it.

    Sulphur was another, but no idea what it is used for. Gunpowder but I am not sure that is the issue. A large issue in the US is plants shutting down and the rest contracting to the US.

    A lot of stuff that are a physical product have some tie in to not only energy/oil but stuff made in related petro chemical. Everything from tires, fertilizer, plastics etc. all start at a refinery then off to a chem plant (often adjacent to a refinery) via feed stocks and onto to whatever...

    Health Problems

    Now at 3600mg a day on gabapentin and it really slows down your brain. It really helps with the pain but it feels like you are a rock or mud moving in a mud slide. I had to start wearing a watch to keep up with the time. I guess all medication has an upside and down side. I feel like I'm an hour...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Point being a LOT of people talk about like it was super rich white guys that just had a thing/experiment and had nothing to lose because it was all shifted to other people under them. Just a guess they had significant money/wealth before they even came to North America and what would later...

    Interesting, Non Political News

    Someone sent me a meme a while back. When the auto correct keeps changing how you spell something so you use another word entirely. I normally have that off because when I send a work text or email it is totally lost.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    So at some point we will get a human police force that their job is take down rogue AI/robot stuff. Seems like I've seen that in numerous movies, ahead of their time I guess. Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons did one in 1984.
