I guess if they want more Raider fans than opposing team fans it does matter. If they don't then...

I think there are teams that would trade for a year of Rodgers if they thought that he would help them win a SB. They just wouldn't trade as much as if they could have more than a year.

Really enjoyed the first episode of The Last of Us. I have zero familiarity with the source material. I'd be curious if people that have played the game like it or not.

I'm ok with an RB as long as it's not round 1.

You need a suitbot:

They only started soliciting bids. They didn't actually buy any yet. That comes next month. As for the recent uptick:

I would rather they just get rid of the option to pick a specific time. Lesson learned for me. I won't be using it any more.

I would actually prefer that since at least you're getting it hot even if you have to wait a little bit.

Maybe I didn't word that clearly. My assumption is that they will time it so the food is ready right around the time I ask that it be ready. For example, I ordered lunch for me and my dad today. They had an option to have it ready ASAP or to have it ready at a specific time. I choose 12:00pm. They sent me a message at 11:40am telling me my food was ready.

why do restaurants give you the option of a specific pick up time for carry out if they are just going to make it 20 min before you get there?

They bumped it to 4%

I think I read that Chicagoans pay about a dollar in taxes and fees per gallon of gas. I would wager that is most of the difference. You go out to Brookfield, IL and gas is like $3.30

Everything I've read says the draw down had a pretty small impact on gas prices. On the order of 20 - 30 cents. I think most people knew once a few refineries came back online and demand wavered a bit as summer ended it was going to drop so they did a thing that made it seem like "hey we're doing something".

wow, gas prices really tumbled the last few weeks. I've seen $2.59 here in Milwaukee.

I think the Brewers are doing the Bonilla thing with Braun until something like 2031. (and Cain too I believe)

Did you end up pulling the trigger on this?

That's awesome! You've been talking about this for such a long time I'm glad it finally became a reality for you.

Robinhood has a new "Gold" service that pays 3.75 drawback is you have to pay $5 a month so obviously you shouldn't put $1000 in there.

I dunno. I think it depends on what they do around the stadium and how expensive the tickets are. Plenty of Marquette kids can walk there.

Is a high interest rate on a new mortgage as big a deal as it used to be? Sure you have a higher payment initially but re-financing takes like 15 minutes now. Maybe the rules around that have changed since I did it way back when. Obviously if you can wait it out, then do so.

Presidents can't really impact gas prices. People have been blaming the president for spikes in gas prices since GW Bush. They can't cause them to spike and they certainly can't cause them to drop five weeks or so before midterms (I guess they could if they waged war on Canada). Gas prices are very complex mechanisms and vary greatly from region to region and state to state. A lot of gas price fluctuations in the US are tied to refinery issues or non issues and state taxes/regulations. We actually are producing a LOT of oil right now and even with Covid we produced a LOT of oil - more in 2020 and 2021 than 2018: https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/us_oil.php U.S. crude oil production in our forecast averages 11.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2022 and 12.6 million b/d in 2023, which would set a record for the most U.S. crude oil production during a year. The current record is 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. We produce enough domestic oil to meet all our consumption needs but we are unable to refine all of it hence why we export so much. It has very little to do with environmental policy or lack of drilling. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/america-produces-enough-oil-to-meet-its-needs-so-why-do-we-import-crude Had we thought about it 30 or 40 years ago we probably could have built a bunch of new refineries but that didn't happen and it was because of a lack of foresight from both parties....or because having other countries rely on us for oil gave us some kind of leverage.

The Keystone pipeline that was axed would not have been online until 2023 and many oil companies cut production on their own accord when demand fell off a cliff during the pandemic. I think the Venezuela thing was allowing Chevron to up their production.

Depends where you live. Great Lakes probably won't be impacted by the OPEC thing.
