No shit.....but we have a FOOTBALL scandal to deal with
No it's a math and science scandal, because the average American is too stupid to do 7th grade math.
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
Lead Story; NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams;
Patriots delflate football by negligible amount. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN OUR WORLD?
Well maybe some people might study up on PV=nRT?
Okay, I'm dreaming.
pods
If a football with a volume of x was filled to a pressure....................
If you think that's bad, you should see our local news. All three affiliates commented that the WEIGHT of the foot ball was only two pounds less than it should be. I kid you not.
Do you live in Boston?
One of the local NYC stations has a regular feature on MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR APARTMENTS and HOUSES
WTF?!?!?!? This is NEWS?
It's like local news is now one giant advertisement or product placement.... 'cause the number of people that can actually afford these places is negligible..... are we peons supposed to simply stare in awe at what our betters can afford?
In answer to your question, YES, we are peons but I suspect the intention is to distract us from paying attention to our real neighbors who are hurting financially.
I must confess that I sometimes enjoy oggling at the opulence enjoyed by other people. I may never attain what they got but I can lead my kids towards it for themselves. That is a good-enough aspiration for me.
lol, yeah put them on that hamster wheel like good little serfs. Unless they/you are extremely well connected or truly one in a billion, they will never get there. Enjoy the show...
Laugh all you want but I never said I would lead my kids onto a hamster wheel to get there. However, if you can only interpret my words as would a statist, so be it.
But the ideal gas law doesn't give anyone hard wood. At least not for the nerds.
Phuck fysics
Speaking of study up, if American schools were to go to a twelve month schedule as Japan does, the average high school student then would be graduating with an additional three years education, the equivalent of a BA. There is your free community and university college education and our mighty nation's restored "global competitiveness". A cheap and easy solution with teachers, students and buildings already online.
Throw in some "free universal service" for all this "free education" and we might have something here, personal responsibility, like paying it forward and back.
"THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN OUR WORLD?"
If you want revolution in this country, cancel the NFL or NASCAR. Hell, a bad call with the replacement Refs in the Green Bay/Seattle game last year nearly got it going.
Wish it were true. But then the focus would be Kim Kardashion's butt, the Oscars, Bill Cosby, or..... Fill in the blank. Me, I have to explain tomorrow how I lost 15k of a friends money on a hedge for his 4M portfolio on puts on his largest holding. To protect him from all of the dislocations that are happening at a frightening pace. Because every fucking trader in the world thinks its okay that another central bank just promised to conjure up another trillion out of thin air. This is getting old.
>buying puts expecting not to lose money
what are you some kind of idiot?
if you want to hedge something at least sell the calls to match the premium you are paying for the puts, do it on a ratio if you must get close to the money and have no downside risk though you will surely lose as the market surges precipitously higher till the end of time.
Realistically though you are just being ridiculous if you are not balls to the wall long this market as there is about zero chance it will meaningfully decline in nominal terms within your lifetime.
Your friend is really worried about a 0.375% insurance policy that expired worthless?
Fuck your friend.
These people will be the ones knowing at my fucking door complaining they have no food.. Asswipes. The bunch of them.
Why the negativity?
Turn this into a positive: You can put them to work on your terms.
Piss and moan all you want.
The only real issue: will you be watching "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams" AGAIN?
Guess what other member of Brian Williams' family do for work:

Couldn't happen to a nicer queue card reading millionaire who isn't even a journalist!
Thanks SWD for a great laugh!
Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it; once you've read it, it's read.
"Why? Because it's HBO..."
I laughed, though I likely won't bookmark this.
Tell me this wouldn't have knocked some shine off of Walter Cronkite. What a world.
~"THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN OUR WORLD?"~
It is if you are relying on NBC for your news. The Peacock and MSNBC are the #1 home for low-information voters.
It begs the question; Why do you bother watching it? Why are you giving them your hard earned dollars for such meaningless horsepiss?
because I want to see what they are trying to tell us and not tell us. No mention of coup in Yemen, SA king dying, QE in Euro. I also like to try to read between the lines on what's really going on. Once you've been awakened, it's hard to go back to sleep.
Oh, but where would we be without the circuses.
You know, I don't watch football or the news so I'd appreciate not hearing about this retarded s***. Thank you.
Is the answer 2/P1V0T? LOL
No it's a math and science scandal, because the average American is too stupid to do 7th grade math.
Seventh grade anything.....
It's all about the Viagra deprived under-inflated balls causing Patriot inferiority disorder.
deflate footballs
not economies.....
free stuff for everyone (c) Obama
Gonna get me some free community college so I can be a waitress or bartender.
The American dream continues...
ARE YOU ZEROCOOL?
Give it another 2 years.
fuck, that's painful to say
Valerie Jarrett says "nein nein nein".
Global warming is taking it's toll on hard working, inflation adjusted Amerikans.
I don't blame them. Diesel is still expensive !!
True. I think the real issue is that the gas station wasn't using pay-by-card at the pump to begin with.
rofl
Actually, off-road diesel is substantially cheaper than regular diesel and is only to be used for off-road work - like farming equipment. By and large, farmers are honest, hard working folk. That they are now stealing fuel really does indicate that things aren't so good back on the farm.
I doubt it's farmers stealing the stuff. More like your regular hooligans.
Or, they decided to stop feeding the beast.
Off road diesel has larger water content. The filters can get expensive.
Kinda like aviatian fuel.
Used to love running av-gas in my mustang. Didn't do it often, but it made the car run like a raped ape.
Yes it does, north of 8x the water content, which also removes lubricity. Thank the EPA.
Any farmer I have ever talked to ends up adding stuff back to the yard tanks. Makes things gel up quicker as well.
I maintain 6 standby gensets where I work, and there are two that without fail run like shit when it gets below 10 F.
It's often cheaper than having #2 fuel oil delivered for heating purposes.
Just fill up a few 5 gallon jugs, and get an offset funnel to pour it into your oil tank.
I live near a store that sells ORD. Here, it's dyed red. If you drive a diesel, a cop can check your fuel and if he sees red fuel (even a little bit) you are guilty of not paying taxes or some other list of victimless crimes.
I use it in a tractor and a generator, but would NEVER put it in my VW.
And it should be noted that the ORD is usually more than 50¢ per gallon cheaper.
Diesel users get hosed by .gov tax regimes. I'm not at all surprised that people are giving the tax-ers a big FU. Would that more people would just refuse to comply. They can't arrest or SWAT everybody.
In fact, mass non-compliance would rapidly spell the end for those that seek to destroy us, one increment at a time.
The crisis has passed. This ranks right up there with other blatant Ozero lies:
"Not even a smidgen of corruption."
"If you like your plan you can keep your plan."
"I'll cut the deficit in half."
"It was the video."
"I'll have the most transparent administration in history."
"I'll stop the rise of the oceans."
"I was born in Hawaii."
"I'm a Constitutional Scholar"
balls are soft and sheeple are happy.
Isn't Bradey married to Gisele? Why are his balls soft?
tom cant handle a legit ball...... and he is a giant weeping pussy.....
off-road deisel must be prepaid....... what fucking moron owner lets them pump then pay...... it's AMERIKA..... 50% are parasites and crooks..... wtf??????
The biggest thieves are the ones in charge.
Sets a really bad example.
You know what? All of the great apocalyptic works of fiction and hollywood films concerning the end of the world can not compare to the insanity that is going on today. Makes me want to go dynamite fishing in the Potomac right next to Fort. Meyer in Virginia. Anybody wanna come along?
"Idiocy" was quite spot on.
Unfortunately, it seems more and more accurate with every year passing.
...you mean Idiocracy?
Actually, there's way too many stupid movies to keep track... nevermind.
...come along? It depends; are you fishing for dynamite or with dynamite? I gotta protect my amateur status at Bass Pro..
Had to look up off road diesel:
