This is why you don't play players out of position.

I almost feel bad for Martinique. Almost.

I had a nice 100.5 degree fever this morning and felt like I got hit by a truck. Pondering if I should go get tested, I had Moderna and had pretty much the same symptoms after the 2nd shot.

They're angled, but no actuators or rotation of the anchoring system for seasonal/temporal adjustability. It's a pretty KISS system actually. Only real maintenance concerns are occasionally cleaning the panels of bird poop/dirt, which you usually would do with a traditional mounting system anyway. Some company has invented a robot that drives over the panels and cleans them.

@drt, I can see benefits in storage ponds serving drinking water or irrigation systems with limited access by the public. I would think that putting a floating array on a lake or pond with public access would invite vandalism and be subjected to unintended damage at such a rate that it would lose its economic advantages.
It would definitely not work on wastewater treatment ponds. Wastewater ponds need sunlight and air exchange on the surface to function properly, and the off gases from the wastewater would cause excessive corrosion.
Interesting. Any rough guesses how many of those storage ponds there are for the average city in Texas? It seems like the one in Healdsburg is for treated sewage that is earmarked for agricultural use, not drinking water. Similar to the one in Altman.

I went down the rabbit hole after seeing the floating solar arrays and found this, apparently there is now one in Texas out by Altman:
Heres an article: https://www.bluebonnet.coop/Community/News/articles/2021/Other-posts/Floating-solar
Here's a podcast about the project: https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/380
@Scheiss Meister is this something we could do at water treatment plants here in municipalities? Healdsburg or some other town in California is doing this currently at one of their plants.

I was more trying to convey that people should perhaps temper their behavior when in public because there are dumbshits everywhere. But point taken, it was a statement to the extreme.

I thought about posting this video in the DT thread that had some coal/powerplant discussion but figured it would never have a honest discourse based on who actually comments in that forum now. Anyways, I found this interesting seeing as it talks about cost of electricity from different sources, and the tremendous amount of money that is invested in different types of infrastructure. I think we're going to waste a tremendous economic opportunity because of our political leadership here in Texas.
The other cool thing I saw recently was using floating solar arrays in Singapore, which sounds like a pretty interesting idea for retention ponds here in the states.

We have so many guns in the States that a reasonable person would assume everyone in a public place without regulations to the contrary is armed until proven otherwise. Obviously, people are not always reasonable.

Anyone swung by Vacancy brewing in south Austin? It’s practically next door to St Elmo…

That’s a world thing. The clock stops at 45:00 and 90:00, it’s up to you to keep time after that. It threw me off the few times I’ve been to EPL and UCL games.
The running clock you see on TV? Nowhere to be found.
Yeah, but most Euro stadiums have an extra time clock as well to let you know how much extra time has elapsed.
