Guess it takes more than 5 tools to save yourself

I have a concept of a plan

The only real question is how they performed compared to their expected generation given the conditions.

My CO governor primary vote will be decided by how much @bennet.senate.gov throws down over DHS funding and his commitment to the shutdown and impeachments. Angry Bennett is the absolute floor.

As long as the voters have no role in deciding. This kind of decision should never be left to the voters, keep it with the credentialed scientists.

Atomic clocks can be purchased for $25, it should be possible for under $10 additional per unit.

Surely an integrated clock could fix that. Yes that's how batteries work but that is fixable.

I just want to know which countries have smoke detectors that save the low battery chirp for awake hours. Never in my life have I had a low battery that didn't start in the wee hours

There are also systems available to prevent takes like this, even if his premise (and misidentification of wind TURBINES) was correct.

Every day I feel better and better about the new freezer I bought and filled with beef in January. Nailed that one

They should feel the pain and if/when their plans fail, everyone else should be protected and I don't mind if some companies make some profit off them

I hope the networks aren't running this shit live

I think it would be better if these data centers were responsible for all incremental costs for service/generation but it's a start. East coast electric market mechanisms make the pain particularly acute

And it's been an interesting mix too, some obvious contenders to close but plenty of less predictable closures. But I'd say the consolidation picture may be the most interesting story here in CO

Images like this show the necessity of proactive power shutoffs. Our aged infrastructure can only handle so much and we're not prepared for the price tag to entirely avoid it in this changing climate.

The upside of PSPS is that it helps us to recognize how valuable electric power is to our lifestyles. Having 99.9% reliable power systems makes it real easy to forget how much we really depend on it.

Windmill =/= wind turbine

But yes it is good to be precise

I think there's a valid squares and rectangles argument to be made

If we're going to play the no dual citizenship game, it should be to force H1Bs to stay here in the long run. Current conditions do not allow that though

And I say this having been t boned by a semi in Kersey in college. Those roads need rules and those rules need to be enforced.

The Kersey ticket thing is absurd, of course there should be significant penalties for 25 over. The public comments might fly for 10 over but 25 is ridiculous. @kylec.bsky.social
