  1. Yes, but instead of market forces influencing behavior we have subsidies that encourage bringing consumption online instead of production.
  2. What if we charged the Bitcoin guys a flexible rate based on surplus capacity instead of refunds/credits when we want them to shut down. Get out of the subsidization of their business model and make it true market based. We have 1 GW excess price = x We have 10 GW excess price = .9x We have a shortfall and the price grows to 3x or 4x, a point that it is unprofitable to stay online, so market forces cause them to drop offline. This model would probably actually encourage more investment in production to capture the surge pricing. There are things to work out but that would be better than corporate welfare for bitcoin
  3. Well in the first post we have no idea where he was posting from but in the second he came down to Earth.
  4. Is this why we switched the Daylight Savings times? Probably made it worse.
  5. Because you need a DL to vote. Notice that the problems are in the cities. Drive to the rural locations and no problem. By Design. /CR
  6. Is it a trial tax or a cooperation discount? Cooperate in prosecution of the rest of them and we'll go light on you... Without the disparity there is no reason for a guilty person to ever take a plea.
  7. Did you read the part where a bill to curtail bit mining was stopped and replaced with two to encourage it? It's called campaign contributions.
  8. ERCOT paid a crypto miner $31.7 Million to shut down during the heat wave. They made more in these energy credits than they did in Bitcoin. Truly remarkable business model our state government has enabled. All subsidized by taxpayers. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/06/texas-paid-bitcoin-miner-riot-31point7-million-to-shut-down-in-august.html
  9. He's exactly what I thought a top lieutenant to Paxton would look like. ISWYDT
  10. Hey, that's been outlawed. Yeah, we've spent a year arguing about whether the door in Uvalde was open or closed, locked or unlocked and not this chucklehead wants them to leave the doors open for the next gunman?
  11. On the AG "General" thing. its the general attorney for the state of Texas as in not for specific things but things in general. so Ordinary, Typical, or All-Purpose could apply just as equally which makes the use of the term "General" that much more stupid. It's not the same as military ranks where you have different levels of officers for Company Grade, Field Grade or General Officers.
  12. Awwww, look at little Enrique sitting in his Q shaped perch singing like a canary. It was him. Glad someone got the audio
  13. Yep, like an EKG won't show an arrythmia if it's not actively happening. These types of things require constant monitoring and recording to detect episodes. They may already know what is causing it and are just obfuscating.

    FAFO?

    See my avatar for how I feel.
  15. They should have sped up the civil cases although going after Fox first made sense. If she is out of money after defending the civil cases and paying off the damages that would put her in a bad place to fight the criminal charges. Either way the Kraken is getting ready to feast on her stupidity. She's either in jail, broke or probably both.
  16. I would have suggested Mitch had another Glitch or just the Mitch Glitch thread
  17. They are already flying https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/03/08/us-air-force-eyes-fleet-of-1000-drone-wingmen-as-planning-accelerates/
  18. Drought and high winds is too reasonable of a cause. Let's channel MTG's space lasers (Jewish or ha-goyim) and turn up the crazy.
  19. Trump wants to pardon himself for it too.
  20. If you're listening to Ed Clements on 590 talk radio you should just kill yourself go home and rethink your life. Fixed it for Hayden
  21. Don't know about the pool but the rest sounds great.
