    "Prices in my area went up 15 cents overnight for no damn reason whatsoever other than the sun happened to rise in the same place as it did the day before."

    This is because you allowed your elected officials to let gasoline become a traded commodity. if you were do demand they not allow it, price stability would return.

    "Pretty much all your luxury cars should be running that, and many regular cars."

    Ahh yet another uneducated car owner.... Unless the car is turbocharged, supercharged, or high compression you are a moron to run anything but the low grade "regular unleaded" gas

    Higher octane burns SLOWER to reduce knock. this is used for Forced induction engines and high compression engines. Both of which are RARE to find in cars. less than 40% of all cars sold meet this need.

    Sadly many uneducated drivers fall for the marketing of "premium" gas being better or having more additives.. They don't. It's just marketing to get people that don't know any better to buy the overpriced fuel they do not need.

    That is NOT what christian churches teach.
    And don't even try to tell me that the bible has not been used for the justification of murder. See the history of the Roman Catholic church for a plethora of examples.

    I know intimately what Christ said and taught, that has nothing to do with what Christians believe and do. And his teachings are certainly not being followed in any large organized churches.

    "You've been programming for at least 20 years. That means you've started when things weren't buried behind seven layers of abstraction but had to be done by hand. In languages that didn't help you all that much, but didn't get in the way of letting you get things done either. So, like me, you've seen things those young whippersnappers wouldn't believe."

    Those languages still exist, and real programmers learn them and even more powerful stuff that makes you a far better programmer... Like Assembler.

    the "young whipper snappers" had better get off their asses and learn it so they can leverage knowledge that their peers do not have so they can be far more valuable in the workforce.

    Honestly they really should force CS students to program on Arduinos and Pics before they ever touch larger hardware. Forced to deal with slow processor, tiny ram and near zero storage makes better programmers.
