Wtf! Even when prices were at their worst, (I'm old, 3-4 years ago, not sure exactly) we didn't hit $5/gal. Holy crap!

Oil is only what gas is made from. Everything else goes up as well. Transportation, workers on site/oil fields, workers at a refinery etc...Same stuff everyone else complains about the price of is factored in along the way. In the grand scheme of things oil is cheap now at $66/barrel this morning. Gas is around $2.30/gallon in Houston when I cam through the other day. Of course TX and other gulf states have the lowest gas tax. At least Exxon appears to have the board back under control after an excursion of wanting to build a carbon capture to service the entire gulf coast.
Lithium was a big boom I sold some rights for and soon as I did the price fell like a rock off a table and has remained there. Not sure if that is related to electric car downturn on lithium from who knows where. Some things you win, some you lose. Mostly just staying afloat.

So i went out to dinner last night with this girl, her boyfriend and my wife. We were talking about music and what we listen to while we work, the type of work we can do while listening to podcasts vs music, etc etc.
At one point, she said "I only have headphones at work because....nah, nevermind, I shouldn't talk about it". We all pressed her and then she started unloading.
"Dude I only wear headphones now so I don't have to listen to everyone's wet shits and grunts, like, the office is so quiet and I can hear everything...."
My wife and her boyfriend started laughing and I think I turned bright red. I'm never pooping at work again.
This girl does seem like a bit of an enigma, though. Very, very attractive. Seems to be very intelligent. Seems to be learning very quickly at work and both or the engineers that supervise her seem to be impressed at how quickly she's picking stuff up. And she's very, very nice and personable so far. My wife called her "disarming and genuine".
I can't tell if her boyfriend is dumb or not. He seems intelligent, but very naive and nice. My wife said he's a "golden retriever boyfriend".

Bro, lean into it. Establish dominance. When you walk out, look her right in the eye and say, "That was for you, toots." And give her the double finger guns.

Back when walk up ATMs were a more popular thing I used to say that the dork in front ot me was trying to get a small business loan through the ATM and taking half an hour or more.

Saw a comic once where the dude was doing a hostile take over at an ATM, so that's what I always used. What is this guy doing? A hostile takeover?
