Don’t think people realize how much journalism has almost never paid for itself. The work of news gathering has almost always required some kind of subsidy — either by bundling, licit government support, or a de facto monopoly on local info distribution — and usually works in firms as a loss leader.

Tanking should be a roster construction process not a game to game process. Make your roster bad, take on bad contracts for picks etc etc but once you actually have the players you should be trying to play as well as you can for each game.

PV panels. But make it neoclassical.

Before 9am means you can blame insufficient caffeine. Ez.

What’s behind your eye-popping power bill? We broke it down, region by region. The culprit depends on where you live — but it’s probably not data centers (yet).

Oh no we brothmaxxing now.

YouTube video by Keystone Atlas Scotland Released Just 11 Beavers Into a Dying River… 15 Years Later, the Results Defied Logic

Always happy to see beaver content breaking through to vaguely-mainstream

A huge part of the appeal of Star Wars is that a massive chunk of the setting is just incredibly seedy in a really fun way. Do you really need another lightsaber fight in a space base? Or do we need more bar brawls

Would this require Grok to comply with HIPAA?

Wow sounds like signaling virtue can lead to behaving virtuously who could have guessed

Yeah makes sense. Would you change the deck significantly if you knew you were going to present to a more solar-skeptical or even mixed-opinion audience?

The easiest and most obvious one is how you often see people bringing up how much better the economy tends to do under Democrats. It's true, but completely unpersuasive.

Who's the target audience for that presentation and what have been your results with it? Land use debates seem like the kind of area where there's a big gap between what's correct vs what's persuasive.

I reserve the right to turn into a libertarian for no more than 48 hours post filing my taxes

What are the implications of steadily decreasing marginal ELCCs for utility-scale renewables

Giggling like a 14 year old on this PJM call talking about a $420 price cap

What does criticizing electoral abstentionism accomplish? The whole idea of an argument being persuasive is that it persuades people who do not already hold your position to adopt it in whole or in part. What are the success stories for critique of electoral abstentionism?

As a TT enjoyer, I find it interesting how polarizing TTs are--very few people are neutral. Not trying to change your mind or anything but what specifically do you hate about them?

What's the best current thinking on AI in business from a liability standpoint? This seems like something the mainstream discussion is ignoring but I bet there's smart lawyers out there with thinking caps on.

What does she think is the ideal compensation scheme for extremely low capacity factor fossil resources that are nevertheless necessary a few times a year or even less to ensure they do things like necessary preventative maintenance. Capacity markets, or something else?

Seems like this would be a great time to do a big explainer on capacity accreditation, while we're talking summer vs winter risk. That's something that seems to be missing in a lot of energy coverage. (selfishly I just want something I can send to people rather than re explain every time)

Love a conversation about how good performance for a resource class can lead to reduced ELCC.

Oh hey storage performance now up for MISO on their ops dashboard and on @gridstatus.io . Cool stuff.

People are cutting down trees to open up land to grow crops and raise livestock. So yes food causes deforestation.

Covid

Why do they think PJM is so much more dysfunctional than other RTOs

New report by CRA notably prepared for the utility trade association.

Go to Owamni, legitimately a top 3 food experience I've ever had in my life.

To be fair it's a banger

Just like different plowing equipment as well. Afaik the city has a limited number of small plows for use on trails and separated lanes. No point using those on roads.
