Oh goodie, I expect now that oil prices have plunged, we will see an immediate, instant and dramatic fall in petrol prices at the pumps

I have a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago and my main work task these days is removing em-dashes from Claude output so it's not overly obvious.

This new study in Nature is kind of a bombshell.

We are experiencing the salami tactic as we speak.
Ahh... the joys of mastodon! People try to block me by reporting my messages as spam, and I bounce right back to keep annoying them! 😎
Will be interesting to see if there has been an increase in illegal immigrants in the form of abandoned boats on the beach.

The humiliation of modern airline travel is now over, and I'm ready for a 6 week workaction in spain.
The humiliation was strangely enough less this time. No ID check (was flying norwegian).
As a bonus, I've hired my rental car on the black market, paying in cash, and not only is the price slightly better than regular ID-checking rental companies, it included a driver to take me to my house which is about 1 hour 45 minutes away from the airport.
The free black market wins yet again! 😎
