Terrible to hear about the struggles that Cubans are experiencing on the island.

Blastfurnace 2024
Kid’s soccer practice was canceled because of a few rain drops today. Practice would have been pleasant today. However last week, when it’s 107+, practice was still held. Just ridiculous.

Good ad by Goodman. I’m under the assumption that Hawley still has a lock on that Missouri seat.

Fitlump fucking won a Austin City Council seat, Now on to Congress 2026!
I'm not arguing Austin Energy is bad or a drag. Net net its good for CoA budget. I'm arguing it is silly to compare CoA budget with CoD budget.

Yes, there are all kinds of interesting battery concepts on the horizon. It will be interesting to see which ones make it to market and thrive. Here are two podcasts doing deep dives on two different battery concepts. A super-battery aimed at decarbonizing industry (volts.wtf) Why electrifying industrial heat is such a big deal (volts.wtf)- Fitlump fucking won a Austin City Council seat, Now on to Congress 2026!
2024-25 Proposed Budget Infographic is directly from the budget. Austin Energy alone, 29%, represents $1.7 billion. City of Dallas doesn't operate its own electric utility. Dallas is deregulated. That alone makes the Dallas headline comparison garbage. The interview totally whiffed on this fact. City should look to constrain spending where possible. Nobody wants to defend an almost $6 billion budget.- Blastfurnace 2024
If summers were like the July 2024 we just had, I wouldn't bitch nearly as much about living here. However, August 2024 is reminding me of just how terrible the summer of 2023 was.- Renewable Energy Saving Texas' Ass Right Now
The growth of solar generation in ERCOT over the past couple of years has been truly astounding. "Peak" load in the afternoon has already hit a point of less concern than in prior years. This is ERCOT load curve for 8/18/2024. (credit goes to www.gridstatus.io for graph) Blue line is classic load shape. That 4pm peak in the summer, was for decades, our concern for "running out" of generation during peak usage. Green line is net load, so load minus wind and solar generation. 4pm is no longer the concern in the summer. We are approaching a point where we are not supply constrained for thermal generation at 4pm. The concern is shifting to sunset (post 7pm in summer) when solar starts to fade off. As batteries continue to fill in that evening peak, the grid is going to continue to evolve.- Things not going well in Venezuela
As long as Maduro maintains support/control of the Venezuelan military, I don’t see why he would leave power.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

I just have a bad feeling about debating Trump. He is a comedian/entertainer. Not a high school debate club style debate. I don't know what a win for Harris looks like at a debate. Is there a debate that changes peoples votes, in the 7 swing states, in her favor?- Dell - Tech company
^^are the 12.5k distributed globally or concentrated in the Round Rock area?- Dell - Tech company
Anyone hearing news from the inside regarding the next round of layoffs at Dell? I haven't gotten much information from friends working there. Sounds like they don't know much yet. Dell Makes Cuts to Boost AI Pivot, Reportedly Laying Off 12,500 Employees | PCMag- [Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
Why not put that tweet out two weeks ago?- [Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
I'm still on the train of thought of "do no harm" with the VP pick. Keep the positive vibes going. Get a positive convention bump. Walz seems to meet that threshold. I do not hear any negative oppo about him.- Markets still falling like whoa
Did they just shift to a cash holding or was it rotated to other equity investments?- Holy shit balls is Intel (INTC) Fucked?
Dell seems to be in constant reorganization and/or layoffs. My neighbor gets bounced between different buildings in Round Rock, it seems every year.- Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee

I am under the assumption that Intel is benefiting from the CHIPS Act to invest domestic chip production. Intel and Biden Admin Announce up to $8.5 Billion in Direct Funding...- The Climate thread
Right but that seems to be the direction we are heading. There is no real good news on our horizon with regard to climate trends. - Renewable Energy Saving Texas' Ass Right Now
