And futures trading on crude oil helped fuel (pun intended) the Great Recession of 2008. That's what caused gas prices to go up so quickly.

No. Inflation is what caused gas prices to go up so quickly.

Paid $1.97/Gal today here. Not sure how the equates in Australian dollars, or liters, but cheaper than a week ago, about 17 cents per gallon cheaper. Nice surprise, since I needed a little over 19 gallons. Filled up my gas can for the lawnmower. Didn't mow though. Kind of need to, but not really that bad. We've had a few cold fronts, and we have another on the way. Not much sense in mowing, if the grass ain't growing...

I was first thinking "do you plan on mowing snow?" but then I remembered that you are in Florida lol

Here in WI, gas is around $1.90/gal on the high end and around $1.70/gal on the low end. Where I go, it's closer to $1.70/gal. Sounds like duncan pays a bit more than we do for gas, but if the CCP usurper usurps the Presidency, then we'll be paying a lot for gas too...

Gasoline prices in the U.S. are currently around $1.90/gal (most places) ranging to around $2.97 in Los Angeles.

Gas prices have come down, due to the current glut of oil supplies on the market. There is plenty of oil for everyone.

2227, or about 47 feet on a side for a square panel.

A single square foot of solar panel is good for 15 watts in optimal conditions. A gallon of gasoline contains 33,700 watts of chemical energy per gallon.

Damn... Why would anyone think a solar panel would be even close to replacing gas, for anything. I'd imagine for the price of that big of a solar panel, you could just buy gas, for the lifespan of of the panel, and still save money too.

These figures used were over one hour of producing power. In other words, burning one gallon of gas over that hour compared to one hour of solar panel exposure.

So yes...it is watt for watt.

One gallon of gasoline contains 120 million joules. Burning that over one hour produces 33,700 watts.

Oil never went to negative $37 a barrel. The lowest it got this year was $11 a barrel. It is currently trading at $45.76 a barrel (20.12.13.t.2038utc).

It actuallty did go to minus 37. The issue was storage - not enough ships to put it on.

Done! That fixes it.

Power = Energy over time. In your scenario the time component is apparently "one hour" and that's all I needed. Great.

That's nice! I do enjoy me some wildlife encounters as well.


I've had my fair share of similar close encounters with a variety of wildlife (in their natural habitat), such as deer (numerous times), buffalo (once, unexpectedly), opossums (a few times), eagles (flew quite closely over my head while on a bike ride, which showed me just how large they really are), red-wing black birds (one pecked at the back of my head while on a bike ride), and various other bird species and other critters.

The buyer of a futures contract is taking on the obligation to buy and receive the underlying asset when the futures contract expires. The seller of the futures contract is taking on the obligation to provide and deliver the underlying asset at the expiration date.

Not irrelevant.

The seller of 1 barrel of oil had the obligation to pay the buyer of 1 barrel of oil $37, for sales done on April 20, 2020.

So he likes starlings. What do you care? You are better than petty insults like this.


You must be talking about gfm's picture of the Starling.


No. Talking about your picture. Now that I look at it closer, I don't think it's a starling. Maybe a hawk of some kind. This bird's a meat eater.

No. Inflation is what caused gas prices to go up so quickly.


When can we get oil price of negative $37 again??? That was awesome!

I want the gas station to pay me when I fill up my tank instead of me pay them

Oil never went to negative $37 a barrel. The lowest it got this year was $11 a barrel. It is currently trading at $45.76 a barrel (20.12.13.t.2038utc).


And your explanation of this is?

"A historic drop occurred on April 20, when the price of West Texas Intermediate crude dropped by almost 300%, trading at around negative $37 per barrel."

Fake News. Oil never went to negative $37 a barrel.


Must be fake Futures Contracts too, right, traded on commodity exchanges all around the world?

Irrelevant extension of an invalid argument. This is a pivot fallacy...a favorite of tmiddles.


The buyer of a futures contract is taking on the obligation to buy and receive the underlying asset when the futures contract expires. The seller of the futures contract is taking on the obligation to provide and deliver the underlying asset at the expiration date.

Not irrelevant.

The seller of 1 barrel of oil had the obligation to pay the buyer of 1 barrel of oil $37, for sales done on April 20, 2020.
Never happened. Fake News. Oil traded at $19.12 in April. It was actually up from March.

I was fortunate enough to be graced with that wild bird's presence just a few feet from me for maybe 10 minutes this past October


Probably preparing to migrate with his buddies. That's when these birds start to hang out together more. This one might have been a bit curious. These birds are generally VERY observant of everything around them. They can mimic an amazing set of sounds, and they have a pretty song.


I'm not quite sure what species of bird this is. My guess is a hawk.

Not a dove

Agreed, now that I look at it closer. This bird is a meat eater for sure. Hawks are normally very territorial. I wonder why this one was so friendly to you. They aren't afraid of people at all.

More denial of actual recorded transaction history from The Parrot.

It certainly was not afraid of me. But it wasn't aggressive either. Never the less, I didn't narrow the distance between us less than 3 feet, for fear of losing an eye

Yup, I would say some sort of hawk as well (especially looking at the fatter and curved beak shape, and the larger size of it). Starlings are smaller, have a smaller, narrower and pointier beak shape, and have a multi-colored and speckled body (in the Summer, anyway). I too am intrigued that it was so friendly with you.

Although, I have now officially tamed the neighbor's farm cat to the point where it purposely waits for me to get home from work and purposely sits down at the door of the shed to receive some attention from me before I go into the house.
