« Last post by Animl-AW on Today at 09:11:32 AM »Ok. If is a big word.
Prices were high as hell, then they came down 1.5 yrs ago. Prices on products did not, they went up, way up. Gas prices have only dropped again the last 2-3 weeks.the window between and 3 weeks after this, prices still went up snd are not dropping.
In s perfect world of honest people and no greed and no tariffs, I’d agree. But where not there either.
So we had examples of price change both ways and they only climb.
Tariffs are superseding logic, therefore to make a reasonable prediction they must be included in the equation. Not only tariffs causing issues, you have companies using it as an excuse to hit us with 100% markup, instead of 20-50%.
So as long as the demand for their products exist, despite tariffs, they ain’t budging.
Even if tariffs go away, they will try to keep it high unless we stop buying.

« Last post by AKIron on Today at 08:37:08 AM »Average national gas prices were approx $4 in 2022. They surged to over $5. I think they may drop below $2 so that's 50% of what we were paying. It may not, we'll see for sure. This affects a lot more than what you pay at the pump.

« Last post by Eagler on Today at 07:05:51 AM »Mom used the threat of "telling your father".. especially if he was out of town for a week or two..
Looking back us four kids deserved 97.5% of the belt...getting it for dropping from a B to a C one semester might be considered overboard these days..but I didn't get a C the next 9 weeks lol..
I realize I might not have spank my two boys - now 40 and 47 - enough even though their friends thought I was the crazy strict dad..
Here is the entire news conference..the sheriff calls out the coach by name..

With great power comes great responsibility. Don’t be like the shade cheaters. You use power for good!
Only one account here...
Use the laptop when out of town watching the aging in-laws and the desktop when home...
No desire nor time for more than one account..

You guys can call me "The Wooden Spoon Destroyer" 
Mom WAS NOT the wait till we get home, till we get back to the car or take me to the restroom kind of woman. I remember her taking the strap off of her purse to whip my arse, right in the middle of JC Penny at West Town Mall, Knoxville, TN August 7, 1977 6:45pm Cant remember why however I WOKE UP!!!! Obviously, but still.... Dad was just the icing on that CAKE(arse in today's nomenclature).

Aces High General Discussion / Re: Highest Damage in 1 Sortie in a Bomber?
« Last post by hazmatt on Today at 06:26:04 AM »I'm not sure what my damage would have been on this but I found one from tour 281 where I did 2 sorties with a bomber (one was a base capture) and got:
Bomber Scores
Score Rank
Damage per Death 1596938.84 9
Damage per Sortie 798469.42 2
Damage Hit Percentage 3420.00 8
Damage Points 1596938.84 198
Field Captures 1 133
This probably isn't one of my better ones as it only took: 01:57:43 and I was ranked 2 in damage per sortie so somebody did better then me.

« Last post by SAJ73 on Today at 01:45:55 AM »I meant by rearming in a single bomber as well.My 76300 and 65+k score in Lancs was a no rearm, one long 100% fuel round trip around the map. 14x1k bombs, 14 towns hit. Think I spent over 4 hours in those flights if I remember correctly. Not something I have ever bothered to try again, now I like to shoot down bombers instead.
