  1. If it’s federal land, yes. That’ll kill many new offshore wind projects and a lot of projects west and north of Texas. Wind’s margins are pretty thin. I doubt there are many, if any companies, with enough federal permits in inventory for 4 years.
  2. The timing is interesting. If Trump kills solar, and wind for at least 4 years in the middle of the AI Revolution, big tech will have to use natural gas. I think restarting nuclear plants is going to take too long. It could work long term, but they need power yesterday. The infamously green NextEra is speaking publicly about ramping up their gas production, so they must see it coming.
  3. I’d wait out the Suns for Booker or the Sixers for Maxey. One or both will have to blow up their teams in the near future. I’ll give Shepherd a season mulligan because he payed so little college basketball. Thankfully, no rookies drafted after the third pick have broken out. I wish he were playing more, but he’s just not ready to be our backup PG. It’s a problem. FVV is steady, but limited. If Holiday wasn’t a PG, he probably wouldn’t be in the rotation. Thank goodness Amen can play all 5 positions
  4. How many minutes of mashups in the musical documentary? Probably just me, but I loathe mashups.
  5. Just let them play a playoff series for Christ sake. Donovan Mitchell was worth assets, but he resigned with Cleveland.
  6. Hot take: Larry Nance Jr probably shouldn’t be in the NBA.
  7. The Ringer’s Grizzlies guy melting down over the smooth ass kicking the Knicks handed them + Brooks hitting 10 3’s was pretty great. The Mismatch from today. Thursday will be interesting. Grizzlies fan is pinning all of their hopes on beating the Rockets. Basically the Grizzlies will go from sleeper contender (regarded) to maybe this team has holes if they lose. I don’t see it, that roster is middling at best. Morant, Jaren Jackson, Bane, and random journeymen. The fact that this asshole thinks they have pieces to trade is laughable.
  8. I’d probably let Jalen Green play out his contract before I dealt him. Lindale and a second for Robert Williams III is the only trade rumor I’ve seen that makes sense.
  9. The professional basketball people at the Ringer that actually follow and know ball love the Rockets. I’d imagine they’re feeding Bill talking points so he doesn’t sound regarded when he has Russillo on.
  10. If aggy had done this, there’d be 100 pages of screenshots and LOLs. I don’t get it. Maybe y’all don’t interact with many Sooners.
  11. Bill Simmons is too lazy for a daily podcast, but I’d love to be in his group texts right now. He just has a weird hatred for the Rockets. The fuck Jalen Green comment out of nowhere, the regarded trade ideas that would have wrecked the franchise, it goes on and on.
  12. I i think there’s a former TW somm floating around in the surly verse. He had a pretty good breakdown of what to buy there. Basically every Spirits Direct bourbon is a pass. Cut quality, increased price, a story as old as time. Hard to go wrong with a Russell’s pick. I’ve enjoyed them all, even the subpar ones.
  13. Holy shit. Great win and that is going to do amazing things for Amen’s shot confidence.
  14. Which one of you sickos is going to the plunge first? Sam’s Boat on Richmond has crawfish.
  15. Kick out to Brooks. Sigh. Edit : much better play.
  16. Roll Call outclassed SEC Shorts this season, but Vandy Pimp was a bright spot. Both never go for the satirical kill shot despite ample opportunities on the field. Oh well, something mildly amusing to watch Monday morning at work.
  17. Doesn’t feel like our night when George Constanza’s body double is drilling corner 3’s.
  18. Correct. HLSR’s lease is up in 2032 and they’re displeased with the county misplacing their checkbook. I think theres a quid pro quo between HLSR and the county. HLSR will look the other way on the county violating their lease in exchange for autonomy. Each party gets along pretty well and they have mutual goals. I’m sure they’ll work it out. HLSR has some nuclear options outlined upthread. i believe the current preference is spend $2 billion on upgrading NRG Stadium and Center. There’s a cool plan for NRG Arena, but no dollar figure yet. Level 1 that building does in fact suck.I have no idea how they’d slam a 8,500 seat venue in the current footprint, but I’ll buy the other bullet points. https://www.chron.com/business/article/nrg-arena-designs-houston-20024540.php
  19. The Saudis flipping a switch to dramatically increase production is the greatest urban legend in O&G. They’ve lied for decades on daily production and reserves because they have no oversight. I’ll bet all of their production decreases coincided with desperately needed maintenance projects. It’s all talk to move markets. Hopefully Trump knows they’re full of shit. Any land brokers getting waxed right now due to wind permits getting canceled? My old broker bet pretty big on a renewable projects, and they were always operating paycheck to paycheck, so I’d imagine they’re feeling the pain.
  20. Jesus Cristo, no.
  21. Dismukes says hold my beer. I forgot the coffee shop sketch. Chalamet as a Def Jam comic was pretty funny. Please Don’t Destroy did the same joke better and recently, but it worked.
  22. Oh Hamm, he’s been cast as the lead in a very high profile Apple show. I’d imagine his time in the Sheridanverse is over.
  23. I don’t think Landman snuck up on Hollywood. No Sheridan show will after Yellowstone. I believe Landman averaged 15 million viewers per episode. That it is a gigantic hit for a streamer not named Netflix. I think the critics were hoping for a Michael Clayton type show, but we got something a lot more fun and unhinged. I’ll agree with the monologue followed by a reaction criticisms of the show. Sheridan did this far too often, but they were good monologues. It’s never going to win an Emmy or a Golden Globe, but that’s ok. Flawed but fun show is fair. I don’t know what Sheridan is trying to say about energy or the environment, but I’ve seen projections of 38% increase on the grid due to AI. The servers use an insane amount of energy. We’re going to need more power period to make AI work.
