As a comparison, local diesel was $4.65in early January

Cheapest diesel local to me in South SF Bay Area is $7.79. Highest $9.97. They’re going to have to start charging by the pint since a lot of pumps don’t have the ability price over $9.99/gal

$8.79 for diesel at the gas station down the street

Similarly here in SF East Bay. I paid $4.65 / gal for diesel in late January. It’s now $7.05. That is over 50% increase

Diesel on I5 just outside of Sacramento at $7.70 / gal. About 50% higher than 6 weeks or so ago.

My Tangerine Dream channel on Pandora has been playing Phaedra 2014 recently. Pretty good re- interpretation, but the original is still the best. I pulled up a YouTube video of a Phaedra 2014 performance by TD and was intrigued to see a band member playing a Theremin on the piece.

Way back when, I read the short story from which this excerpt was taken. Who was the author? I’m not remembering. Asimov, maybe?

Very scenic, rugged coastline at the park. Couple of miles of boardwalk allows for habitat regeneration.

Well worth the visit. We’ve been going up to Westport ( just north of this park) for a number of years and always promised we’d take a day to visit the park. Finally did it in our 2025 Westport trip. If you’re up on the Mendocino coast, take a day to visit the park

The halogen lights in my extractor fan over the stove would generally last about 2 years before they failed. Pretty extreme environment. Replaced with LED equivalents. Less expensive than the halogens. LEDs last MUCH longer.

I think my first sci-fi book was Star Conquerors by Ben Bova, borrowed from my grade school library. Later in life, it took a VERY long time to track down a copy of this title in the Winston Science Fiction set, which I now own. Also have a similar vintage hard copy of Norton’s The Last Planet.

Have to agree, although The Last Planet was my intro to Andre Norton. Special mention to The Stars Are Ours and Star Born as favorite books. I have most of her SciFi titles in ACE singles or dos-a-dos formats! Six thousand plus sci-fi paperbacks later, I finally graduated to ebook format.

To be more precise, he just increased the price of Canadian imports to US consumers. No Tax per se on Canadians, even though Trump keeps insisting otherwise

I believe that was from an Alaska quake, but my memory could be faulty. Remember watching a news report showing the “minor” wave smashing boats about in the harbor

Panic, no. Concern? Certainly. Not so long ago a one foot tsunami caused significant damage in the Half Moon Bay, CA harbor (2022?).

jadewarrior.bsky.social @jadewarrior.bsky.social · 30/07/2025
True enough, and very dependent on the local topology where a tsunami might come aground. The campground in Northern California that I visit often is just a few feet above sea level. I’d have significant worry if I were there with a possible 1-3 meter tsunami possible. Higher ground- here I come!

jadewarrior.bsky.social @jadewarrior.bsky.social · 30/07/2025
A few hundred feet inland from a possible 10 foot tsunami is not going to help. I’d opine that a 3 meter tsunami is a significant threat!

Phaedra was my introduction to Tangerine Dream. A work colleague gave a copy of Zeit with the comment “I don’t understand this”. Good for the time, but Phaedra was the beginning of my journey into this most interesting music genre.

Apple isn’t paying the tariff. The consumers buying the iPhone will pay the tariff. Apple isn’t about to drop the price of the iPhones to compensate for the tariff. They have healthy margins, but not that healthy

Not his. Presidential gifts are the property of the government. Not him personally. The National Archives own the plane when Trump is out of office. He doesn’t get to donate it anywhere, and can’t take a tax deduction for the “ gift” to the presidential Archives

My 2001 BMW X5 is still running. Had a few idiosyncrasies, but at 198,000 miles, I am loathe to spend money fixing stuff that really doesn’t bother me that much. As long as it’s safe to drive 🙂 when the required repairs exceed the KBB price I’ll sell it to cal State DMV for $1,000 to be crushed.

This was surfaced years ago. Navarro was just another economic crank in the wilderness back then, unfortunately

Totally insane commentary from all of the administrations cabinet members. Do they all think we’re really that dumb? Looks like it!
000
jadewarrior.bsky.social @jadewarrior.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Nonsense. These tariffs were computed by using a balance of trade calculation. A country could have zero tariffs on American goods and still be subject to these tariffs. You are trying to justify the unjustifiable. The Administration needs to be mocked over this insanity

The framing of this piece seems to a bit off base. The Senate is trying to reassert their existing power, not trying to assert any more power than they already have,

Tariffs on goods from uninhabited islands. “Just in case” I suppose. Maybe there is a US market for penguin guano that needs to be tariffed. Although, what do the penguins care?

Who says they violated the law? Spartz? Show us proof of the assertion. She needs to brush up on the actual applicable laws, or better yet, resign in shame. Voters- vote this ignoramus out of office asap.
