Repairs will start in about 2 months. We have a local contractor who is familiar with style (his family house is similar; his grandfather was one of the local church builders). Not everything is practical and possible to preserve - house is covered with cypress wood which can also be seen in 1910 photo - but 100+ yr age shows and this type of covering can not be bought any more at price less than that of gold. Beams in house are white oak 4x4 which resist any attempts at nail driving. Some modifications were made as recently as 2010 with expected modern (lack of) quality but those will be removed. Nearly all of my Exxon share income will be sunk into this...

Of course we should have just built a 10000sq ft mansion and ventilated about recycling and electric cars /sarc off

DooDahMan says

Since we found out that police with active shooter training hung outside the Uvalde school till they (mistakenly) thought the threat was over, it seems that the idea of arming teachers is likely to be ineffective at best

You can always tell when a woker is writing, as it's often illogical and/or dishonest.

Clearly, the best case is that arming teachers works out excellent. The attempt to use a single example where some cowardly cops didnt do their job as a method to invalidate all the brave cops and citizens who constantly rush into the line of fire to save others, is pathetic. Theyre willing to try to strip all those heros of their honor and valor by advancing self serving lies, so their article gets teh phat clickz from blue hairs.

You fail at logic. A best case is an upper bound. It says nothing about what the actual result will be, aside from placing an upper boundary upon it.

Now you strawman. I did not deflect, you are just confused or not reading carefully. Where did I ever say, or imply, that I knew how well it would work? If anything, I was implying nobody knows, and so the best case is (quite obviously) an excellent result. Otherwise it wouldnt be a best case, would it?

I criticized the logic. Read it again.

It's not my fault you dont understand basic logic. I think you do understand, but you messed up at first and now you keep advancing your strawman so you can "be right".

A "best case" means a good result. Not just any good result, but THE BEST result possible. Unless one can prove that arming teachers would not work excellent, then it will remain the best case. It says nothing about expectations of how it will work out in reality, aside from stating a sensible upper bound.

Saying "arming teachers will work out poorly, or mediocre" is not a BEST case. That is a poor case, or a mediocre case. Not a BEST case.

You dont fool me.

Another strawman. Show me the statement youre talking about?

@Hircus I don't believe that DooDahMan is arguing in good faith. I think he just wants to make people angry for the enjoyment of it.

I know that's personal, but it's important here.

Hashtags? Seriously?

As much as you rail against an establishment I do not understand, it's pathetic to are trying to appeal to an establishment.

At what point do I sell off, or at least start selling covered calls on my oil stocks?

This can't last forever, but might last through Dementia Joe's administration.

Natural gas needs no refining, too bad the kooks didn’t support natural gas cars.
Instead they pushed battery cars which actually often run on natural gas depending on where it is charged.

More proof of genocidal nature of Hindooo.

Hindoo supremacist urges cultists to “tear apart the wombs of anti-national women[Muslim] bearing an anti-national baby.”
Hindooo is hate filled cult of inferiority complex.

Cruelty is trait of this genocidal DNA.

Hindoooo barbarianism : Caution .. Extreme animal cruelty.

Track this post ... As soon as Hindooo filth get wind of this post .. They will start displaying the Genocidal DNA and calling for killing this man for just yearning for freedom from their oppression.
Hindooo is dirty cult of Islam like Wahabbi.

Even after Dementia Joe, it'll take a few years to get the country back on track, at best.
More likely relief will be from the world economy crashing hard, which will just replace one kind of pain with another.

Hindooo forced to tone down genocide threats against muslims after Arabs threatening their exports.
I think median income will fall from $1 a day to 0.5$ as day if Arabs move forward.
Hindooo cult is complete failure for people... Hindooo commoner life is worse than pet lizard in USA in terms of money to spend per day.

Sikhs learned below long time back. Hindooo cult have no honor,humanity or dignity...It is like morally bankrupt gang of hyenas in human shell looking to take advantage of you.

Behavior of Hindoo Cult:
If you show weakness they will be at your throats,
If you show strength they will be at your shoes.

That's bullshit and more leftoid propaganda. They are selling less so the margins must be better and the profit higher, duh. How do you pay all your workers if you suddenly have less demand? You produce less and sell at a higher price. Duh. Don't give me this pocahontas price gouging agitprop.

Just wait until the local oil refiners are gone due to leftoid retardation laws and propaganda against them, who's going to power your shit now, who's going to pave the roads and with what? Got heating in the winter? Who is transporting all your products to your door? lol what a crock of propaganda.

"You people in tropical shit holes are really lucky, because you have such a diversity of bugs and insects to eat. Now, suck on our jet fumes as we pontificate on your planned poverty and demise and then cut fuck back out."

"No strings attached" to Chinese money? LOL

"No strings attached" to Chinese money? LOL

All in the eye of the beholder - "it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."

It's a catchy phrase, but it really bears no resemblance to the reality.

DooDahMan says

Kissinger first made the phrase

Ah, this explains it: Kissinger IS a stupid cunt after all.

It's a mixed bag. My wife and I laugh at the stereotypical limousine liberals in Santa Cruz who blatantly hand it to themselves that they are enlightened mavens, and many do have enough money, education and social status to support their pretentiousness. But, they lack common sense and 'street smarts', and are gulled by every fatuous LibbyFuck feed bag they are fed by the MSM fake news and 'altruistic' PBS sucker punches. They are the ones getting vaccinated to their own harms while believing they are serving the interests of society rather than a group of cunning psychopaths. Remember, a lot of education is simply a reward system for conformity and regurgitation based on memory, not reasoning ability. Also, nominal smartness does not always come with acute or even basic survival skills.

Victor David Hansen says that as long as they are immune to the destructiveness of their decision making process, they will continue. They can be bizarre and obnoxious examples of smug.

With really rich people, I suppose the analogy is they can have whatever warped self appraisal and aberrant lifestyle they can afford, right up the point that their physical bodies quit, or they run out of basic money, lawyers and accountants to bail them out of trouble for their foolishness.

That very well may be but that does not erase our history of how and what we have done to our "friends" - that is indelible the world over and we have no room to call out anyone on anything - that is the reality of it all.

A simple glance at the list of countries which were at different times our enemies and our friends shows that being our friends is definitely a much better deal.

Care to show me where the selling less is taking place on the chart below ?

Right were the blue dip is! The start of leftoid retard xidenflation. Also 2020 was lockdown central which makes the 2021 demand even worse

When someone has nothing to offer in terms of a rebuttal - best to go to labels, name calling and repeated use of the words propaganda etc. - plus points to get up votes from like thinking individuals is to toss in words like agitprop - Hubba Hubba - Boola Boola - Go Yale !

My personally - I always like Dotard especially when it first came out and got record number of Americans to actually use a dictionary and learn something - plus it was a highly accurate description as well.

CA makes retard laws and taxes everyone to the hilt and the complains about!muh!high!prices! and rolling blackouts

DooDahMan says

mell says

The demand is going up which is just the opposite of what you stated that demand was down

No the demand has been going down since the xidenflation accelerating 2021. 2020 (with many businesses getting covid loans) is obviously not a valid comparison with ground and air travel mostly grounded

Looks like Arabs told filthy Modi to target Sikhs instead of Muslims for political milage.

Muslim monarchs reminded Modi that Sikhs have no country who will defend them so He can start by killing Hindooos and blaming Sikhs to satisfy filthy DNA Hindooo blood lust.

Sikh Genocide 2.0 preparation in full swing.
Too much noise form Filthy Hindoo has started.. Killings will start in few weeks…..

Expect them to kill hindooo in targeted attacks to prepare Hindooo for rioting .. Then they will blow up some planes etc. to shape international opinion.. After that Genocide will start.

No doubt you have just such a list handy ? I will check back tomorrow or in a few months - maybe you will have that list by then.

Everybody has such a list handy.

Start with Germany and Japan - both are much better off as our friends then our enemies.

Or take Koreas: the one which is our friend not only didn't die from it but is in much better shape than the one which is our enemy.

I noticed my MPG fluctuating as between 22 and 28, mentioned it to my mechanic after an inspection, nothing he saw in the vehicle seemed related. Starting charting my MPG after each fill up at the different gas stations in my small town. Chevron scored 3 MPG worse than the rest. So I say good for Chevron, don't open any refineries. Because like BP(Arco), I will never buy gas from you again.

*Cough*cough*... there is a Permian refinery being built. I think it will be done in two years or less...

Natural gas is going to $40 a BTU from $8.5. A LOT OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE WAS BUILT WITH THE ASSUMPTION OF CHEAP NATURAL GAS. Load up on CHV, SJT and a good solar company perhaps. Oil & gas companies are going to have to adjust their reserves as they increase in value because they become more valuable due to GAAP accounting rules.

I stand by Ken Luskin analysis as I have made some money on his investment picks (UNFI, SVU and AMD) and I have some knowledge of the oil and gas industry. So read the medium article and contemplate buying me lunch in the future if you act on his advice. Also, know when to sell...
https://medium.com/@kenluskin1/u-s-natural-gas-in-storage-will-not-have-a-sufficient-cushion-for-next-winter-the-price-will-acc1a950cab6

For your reference on how expensive natural gas will get...

Hindooo dirty money launderers are getting worried that Arab may cut their money supply.
No such worry for oppressing Sikhs as they have no country of their own.

Sikhs have right people just doesn't have numbers like fast breeding Hindooo cult.
Normal Hindooo lives $ one a day or less, But still breeds with no control... Quantity over quality... But it does give them oppressive power especially in democracy without legal protections of republic or bill of rights..
This cult must be isolated in their own cesspool to protect minorities.

@patrick clicking this link triggered my anti virus. It should be edited out IMO.

DooDahMan says

The ship's long-range land-attack projectile guided shells cost roughly $800,000 each — about the same price as a cruise missile. The munitions were eventually canceled, considered too pricey to merit producing.

I bet the top brass decided they needed to money to help Congress and the Deep State get rid of the sitting President.

Since when did the Pentagon ever get cold feet about expensive over priced hardware grift?

It's not like America has a Sedition budget.
