    Quote from: TDoS on Nov 30, 2024, 03:43 PMWill wearing a suit for that presentation make you a "suit"? Because if it doesn't make you a "suit" by your definition, it doesn't make me one either.

    Yup, it would make me a suit as soon as I drop on the uniform.  Just like you are a Cop as soon as you wear a cop uniform, even if you're just a security guard.  It means you take on the expected behavior and role of that type of uniform.  Which as I said was one of the reasons I quit the banking biz.  In that biz, you have to wear the suit every day, and it better not be a cheap one if you want to climb the corporate ladder.

    Will I wear a suit when I go shopping for lawyers?  No, but I will go so far as to do "Business
    Casual" with a collar shirt and tie and I'll wear real pants instead of my usual pajama bottoms, plus I'll wear the prosthetic leg under them and I'll put in my dentures too.  I clean up fairly well, and the "look" I will have would probably best be called Disabled Academic. lol.  I'll look like somebody's Calculus professor, which should work fairly well to convince the suit that I'm reasonably intelligent.


    Quote from: TdosThe results as provided from my system allow for a low probability above $70.  A whiff of chance close to $80/bbl for the year.

    Yes, I know and I agree.  The question is, who are the "experts" polled by Reuters that are quoted in the OilPrice.com article?  Who would make a prediction nearly $10 north of what seems likely?
