1 litre of petrol costs soon over 2.00€ in Finland.

So no crying in the US.

We call it gas over here in the states, but its still to much.

Now I don't know any translations between Euros and Dollars, but here is our price. (estimate)

Last I checked, it was 3.82 a gallon here in Wisconsin, and I last checked on Friday, so that is definately changed by now.

In Los Angeles, you can still find gas stations with $3.9# a gallon, but usually it's around $4.1#.

Does anyone know the reason (Please don't say Iraq War without some actually reasonable facts) for the prices to start going up?

Nvm I did my calculations wrong.

But anyways.. My family gladly would pay the extra money 'cause there's less people on the road. Even though that money is coming out of my college funds xD.
 

Seb!

1) A higher demand for oil caused by a huge boom in automobiles.

2) A shortage of oil, caused by instability in the Middle East.

3) The price of crude rose dramatically, and instead of cutting the ridiculous profits, oil companies and their CEO's simply raised the prices. This is possible because gasoline is a necessity.

4) The occupation of Iraq ended the oil instability and shortage for a very short period, causing the supply to meet the huge demand.

5) The administration reduced regulation on the market in terms of price gauging and monopolies.

6) Oil company profits and CEO wages skyrocketed.

The fact that Bush's campaign donations were largely from oil companies, and the fact that Bush himself used to own oil companies may or may not be involved..

this have effect on other things too

faroe island fishing trawlers are set on standby because of the prices it's just not worth it, and they won't go fishing before the fish prices raise or the gas prices degrease.

that will effect in a big loss of fish in scandinavia! :eek:

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    No, I'm still looking into them and kind of leaning towards a Rebel T7 at the moment because it's pretty cheap and lenses seem pretty easy to come by. Used ones are only like 3-400 dollars, which is much cheaper than I was planning
  • jonas jonas:
    I can't really recommend you any specific lens or body due to lack of knowledge, but in my experience camera shops are very helpful, especially those that also sell used parts
  • Varine Varine:
    There's only one camera shop in my town and they seem to specialize in film, but I have time before I need it. I'm not in a rush so I'll keep researching them
  • jonas jonas:
    I think since you have such specific needs, you should find a way to give a try for different systems without having to commit to one
  • jonas jonas:
    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that

  • The Helper The Helper:
    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye

  • Varine Varine:
    Well the long, slow slog of winter has officially begun here
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a bunch of community service I have to do, and I have a feeling there will be a lot of snow shoveling involved now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    don't know why people choose to live in that kind of weather :)
  • Varine Varine:
    Well
  • Varine Varine:
    My job is here
  • Varine Varine:
    I was born here man I didn't choose shit
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, I keep moving away and it doesn't get any better. I moved to San Antonio and shit froze there AND we had blackouts
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I'm back, suffering from severe jet lag.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Cold is following your ass around Varine - I just dont think I could handle a snowy winter.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Welcome Back Tom!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that taking a Melatonin around your normal bedtime can really fix jet lag
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Yeah, I also heard about that as well. I think I'm good. I'm just lucky it's the weekend so I have some time to readjust.
