U.S. regular gasoline prices are back near $4.50 per gallon, adding pressure for drivers as summer travel season approaches.

The latest increase comes amid renewed concerns around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit chokepoint. Prices remain below the 2022 peak, when U.S. gas prices topped $5 per gallon after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, tight supply, and recovering post-pandemic demand pushed energy markets higher.

The chart shows how these spikes compare over time, including the Great Recession, the COVID recession, the 2022 oil shock, and the latest run-up.

For consumers, this is not just an energy-market story. It is a cost-of-living story.

Hi there! I made this as part of a bigger project of South Park analysis and thought it was pretty cool. There's an interactive version below if you want to see exact percentages, but I thought this was pretty illustrative. Seems Donald and JD took up some air time this past season that is usually reserved for Cartman.

Apologies to Butters.

Measuring from the all time high to May 24^(th) Pentecost/Feast of Weeks/Shavuot.

This is a 50-day count from Resurrection Sunday April 5^(th) and is a highly possible day of the Rapture.

With Biblical knowledge, we can unpack the chart to reveal the story.

The money knows before the event. Biblically, we know that Judas was paid to betray Jesus.

Luke 22:3-6 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

NVIDIA just reported $81.6B in quarterly revenue.

But the part I found most interesting was the geography breakdown.

China + Hong Kong were only 5.6% of reported revenue in Q1 FY2027.

Meanwhile, the U.S. was 78%.

That is a huge shift from a few years ago, when China + Hong Kong were closer to a quarter of NVIDIA’s reported revenue and the U.S. was a much smaller share.

The obvious explanation is export controls.

A100/H100 restrictions started in 2022.
The rules tightened again in 2023.
H20 was restricted in 2025.

But the weird part is this:

NVIDIA is still guiding for massive growth while assuming no China data-center compute revenue.

So China looks small in the current numbers, but not necessarily in the long-term opportunity.

Jensen Huang has described China as a potential $50B AI chip market.

That would be roughly 10x NVIDIA’s current reported China + Hong Kong quarterly revenue.

So the question is not really “does China matter to NVIDIA today?”

In the reported revenue mix, barely.

The better question is whether Washington and Beijing eventually reopen part of that market.

If they do, China could become a meaningful upside lever again.

If they don’t, NVIDIA is already proving it can grow without it.

The two charts are for the major indices in the US:

• Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI30) [image2]
• Standard & Poors (S&P500) [image2]

Both tracking on a similar pattern and both revealing identical numbers.

With Biblical wisdom and understanding we can unpack them to reveal the true story

Pentecost - A highly possible day of the Rapture. A 50-day count from Resurrection Sunday April 5th, landing on Sunday May 24th. Pentecost/Feast of Weeks/Shavuot.

The money generally knows before the event. Biblically correlated, we know that Judas was paid 30 pieces of silver before betraying Jesus.

Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

TL;DR: Since April 2024, the Rupee's drop to ₹96/$ meant that simply holding foreign currency (USD, GBP, EUR) gave you returns of 15%–25%, while the Nifty 50 only moved ~5%. In this 2-year window.

Hi people,

I wanted to share my story on how I lost over 40kgs in 271 days so far in an (hopefully) sustainable way. When I came back from summer holiday last I really didn't like the way I looked and figured out enough was enough.

Started by making a plan under the simple presumption that if I spend more calories a day then I put in my body, I will lose weight. Since then I weigh myself every day when waking up. My goal was to eat 2000 calories a day and get a lot of physical activity in. I literally put everything I ate/drank in this food app and transferred the daily values to a sheet by hand at the end of the day. The first days/weeks I really had to get used to the feeling of being hungry, but when you persist in thinking your mind is stronger than your body it can work out.

On top of that I changed my lifestyle from being a couch potato to get more exersize in. Not running or anything, because that might cause a lot of injuries to my knees being heavier but by starting to walk a lot. Trying to het at least 10k steps in every day (still not succeeding in that). It was really cool to see my heart rate slowing decreasing over time with the same, where I do the same 1 hour walk. When I started walking I was sweating profusely and my heart rate was continuously 130 BPM at least from just a walk. Nowadays I really have to push a bit harder to get it even over 100.

I used the sheet I have with all the data of weight, calorie & nutrient intake, excersize data as a basis to build my own app. I'm pretty sure the effort I put in building this app, also contributed to staying focussed on the goal I set myself in the beginning. It is really rewarding to see the weight come off data wise, especially when seeing it on your body is not really a thing in the beginning for me.

Now there are 7 more weeks before going on holiday again, hopefully losing about 7 more kgs along the way. The future is bright!

Will have to update next weekend after the final game of the season, so sorry for Arsenal's new title not yet being on the plot! Curious if people have suggestions for improvement.
