@Ghoul In general I like the discussions you help facilitate here, but I'm glad you deleted your response to @Justaguy99. It was a bit too righteous, especially considering your recent ban.

Wait a moment, you sure it was "too righteous" or you simply disagree with it, politically?

I withdrew that because I decided not to add fuel to the fire of someone expressing their glee at terrible things happening to people who they say voted "the wrong way".

That's a disgusting, vile sentiment. Do you share it?

And I hope that ban reference wasn't a veiled threat, because you're sadly mistaken if you thought that was my motivation for removing it.

The US has been been producing more crude oil than any other country ever has since 2018. 2024 was another record breaking year. I wish more oil equaled lower prices. At least at the gas pump.

In a market, more supply in relation to demand equals lower prices. Period.

Oil is an international commodity, and the restrictions on Russian and Iranian oil, as well as the chokepoint of refinery capacity all affect price as well.

The "quiet part" in so-called "greening" is that making energy painfully expensive is the most effective means by which to get people to use otherwise uncompetitive alternatives. An unfortunate, regressive tax, on those who can least afford it, with the leftist ideological bonus of giving "gluttonous Americans" the punishment they deserve.

Think the Germans are doing this to help Russia, or to lower prices?

Also, OPEC lowers production as other countries produce more to keep the price up. And I'm sure it didn't help when Biden campaigned on eliminating the use of fossil fuels in 10 years. He did walk that back though.

The fact Opec has been able to manipulate prices based on reducing or increasing supply just demonstrates that supply impacts prices. They've been losing a lot of that power as non-Opec production has been increasing every year, including the US, and soon Africa.

Biden dumping the strategic oil reserve into the market in time to lower pump prices for the 2022 midterms shows they know increased supply lowers prices too (or at least keeps them lower than they would be otherwise):

Biden taps the Strategic Petroleum Reserve – What is it? Where did it come from? And does the US still need it?

Biden ordered the release of 50 million barrels of crude oil to tamp down rising gas prices, the largest drawdown in the reserve’s history.

A little late to be planning that out now, but under *normal* circumstances. knowing a UGL order could take 4 months, or not come at all forcing an order from somewhere else, reordering around when you have about 6 months of essentials left seemed like the way to go to me.

More than a few have mentioned they're set with 5-10 years of AAS. Which works because they have such long shelf lives.

Very few seem to have long term supplies of peptides, especially HGH, finding other supplier's pricing traumatic compared to QSC, lol. I think ordering anything from China is risking throwing money into a black hole at the moment, but for those who need it, the only other option are extremely high domestic prices.

Golden age of dirt cheap prices probably behind us now, but I'd love to be wrong.

Thankfully I am not planning it out right now, Lol I purchased roughly 10 years worth and also bought a pharma grade freezer. Glad I did. How much are you anticipating prices to go up by?

 

[Canuck83]

Why would you not post about it in the open? How do know it wasn’t sent out? How do you know it didn’t get caught in customs if the tracking wouldn’t update state side

Post in thread 'Sigma Audley Inc. - Your source for peptides, ancillaries, AAS, and more!'
Sigma Audley Inc. - Your source for peptides, ancillaries, AAS, and more!

Because when I inquired about why the tracking wasn't updating, because another order I placed after had, my rep looked into it and realized they didn't ship it. Anything else Sherlock ?

Welp I’m that idiot that is. I have a big order that’s not just mine unfortunately that needs the reship.

Soon? Too late.

Why do you imagine that would be the case given that oil supplies have grown tremendously in the past decade:

If anyone has MAX or discovery plus there is a show called contraband seized at the airport. Was just watching s01e03 about 30 mins in there acting like they found the bust of the century 6 boxes of peptides. Kinda interesting show. Get to see the detention cage and how little packages they actually check.

True. Every single day I am enjoying the view of the wall Mexico paid for and I am very happy he stopped the war in Ukraine in just one day, before taking office, as promised.
