Storms and demand are normal causes for price movement. Closing an unfinished pipeline is speculation aka greed and poly-tick-el pressure

Basically what the stock market is built on and what drives oil prices. Also OPEC decision to not increase exports when demand is increasing.

To the O.P., discount tire is good at matching competitors advertised prices. 
I know that and Big O does the same. In fact when I ordered my 38" Trail Grapplers today Big O wanted $469 each. Discount Tire was $449 each. Big O matched their price.
Discount can kiss my ass when they raise the price of a high in demand tire almost $100 overnight.

Yep. 

 

Market says I need 5 apples.

Henry the supplier says I have but 2.

Price goes up.

 

Competitor says I don't have any apples but a cart will have 10 here as soon as the cart is built.

Price tanks.

 

Supply is still only 2 apples. 

:sigh:

 

Wood mill says wood is in short supply

Apple prices are up?

:thumbs:

Henry ate an apple waiting on the guy to make up his mind

Price doubles.

:crackup:

 

Ant's come to the picnic

Henry and the market are holding and empty bag.

Investors are furious from every angle and Henry is out the price of two apples

The investors out millions

:rollin:

 

Wait....who got all that money???

🤔

 

Brokers!

FWIW my family owns a few tire shops. Most suppliers are having a cost increase of 8-10%.

Oh yea. Prices are going up. It’s no secret the current administration isn’t oil friendly in any form. That’s been made clear. Gas prices usually go up some in the summer driving season. We’re not there yet. It’s true probably some of the reasons for the increase is speculation, that’s how it works. When you shut down pipelines and public exploration options that plays too. I know people in the field that are putting off any expansion or hiring at the moment with fingers in the air. Experience has taught them caution is the rule when fear mongering types are running the show. Optimism just isn’t there.

      Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
