Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 Updates Cannot Be Stopped - Forbes

Good that Microsoft is embracing the Apple way of doing things. Don't want the upgrade? Fuck you. We say you want it. So we are going to harass you every three fucking days until you cave. What? Yeah, we know it is crashing the fuck out of systems. A lot of applications we don't own don't work. So? You didn't want those apps, we say so.

Damn. And I was just getting used to my shit working.

The Market.
When I started my current job two years ago gas was $3.70 a gallon now its around $2.50. Over the course of a month that makes a huge difference to me and I am sure many others too. Just about every news report I listen to lately like to say how gas/oil prices being so low is not really a good thing - its bad for the market. Is this the same market that often gains big when a large company announces mass layoffs? The market can go fuck itself. Yeah I realize there are consequences from cheaper oil prices but that $70 a month difference to me is huge and I get the feeling $70 is nothing to most of the people saying how bad this is for the economy.

Fuck it, it's Friday. I'm going to make "jokes" about sleeping with my company's cleaning lady.

This is very job specific...but...when my athletes come to be and simply tell me the treatment they "need". "Hey, I need stim." No...no, you don't. Because you see my degrees let me know what you "need". I imagine this is what docs feel like when someone strolls in thinking they need a certain med.

So many variables in the oil and natural gas markets are at work, right now. OPEC isn't willing to cut back on production, even though the current consumption vs. production rate of the world points to that they should cut it back. Saudi Arabia is attempting to keep their market share. The fracking industry of the US is pumping crude at a rate not seen in this country for a long, long time, Saudi Arabia doesn't like that. China's economy is slowing down, which is the second largest consumer of oil in the world. The Iranians are about to bring their oil production back to market, which they were not allowed to do during the sanctions that were imposed on them by the UN because of their nuclear ambitions. If they do, that will flood the market with an even larger glut of crude oil. This all makes for a perfect storm in the market to drive the prices down.

Just wait until September and October, the price at the pump will likely go even lower. Maybe as low or even lower than $2.00 a gallon in many places.

Trillions of dollars worth of oil found in Australian outback - Telegraph

Plus the Australians are sitting on a just discovered oil field that could rival what is under Saudi Arabia. Saudi's may even increase production more an attempt to make it less profitable for the Ozzies to build stuff and go get it. Plus OPEC has to realize that the top consumers would probably rather deal with the Aussies than them.

I saw a report on BBC (I think) that also suggested OPEC is running production up to try and sway consumers away from demanding more fuel efficient cars. People care less about MPG when gas is cheap. Pickup truck and SUV sales in the states are steadily climbing because gas is so cheap. Trying to hold onto the empire. It's falling apart on them.

We were at 1.89 two weeks ago. Back up to 2.50 right now, but has been dropping a few cents every couple of days. Gotta tell you, I love paying less than 30 bucks to fill my car with premium.

Stock exchanges are taking a blindside hit to the head, so no surprise...

U.S. stock index futures screamed lower on Monday, with Dow futures tumbling more than 700 points, as fears surrounding the health of China's economy multiplied.


The New York Stock Exchange is invoking Rule 48 for the Monday stock market open, Dow Jones reported.


The rule allows NYSE to open stocks without indications. "It was set up for situations like this," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderich Securities. It was last used in the financial crisis.


The Dow futures held about 700 points lower, with the S&P futures off about 80 points, and the Nasdaq 100 futures off about 5 percent, which marks the lower end of the price limit.


The major averages are on track for one of their worst opens since the financial crisis of 2008.

Last year at the same time on the calendar, the US national average was just a touch below $3.50 a gallon. The average today is $2.58 a gallon. It will continue to drop as summer draws to a close, refineries will switch over to the winter blend, which is less cost restrictive, and also the summer driving season will end, which will also contribute to lower cost at the pump.

Not to mention, but today the global markets are:
