  1. My daughter's elementary classroom has no functional A/C. It was expected to be fixed prior to school start but it didn't happen. The portable unit in the room doesn't keep up. Her class has relocated to the school library indefinitely until the A/C is fixed. Oh, and the cafeteria has a massive portable A/C that does work. No idea how many years it will be left in place.
  2. That is a lot of fancy trucks that never leave payment.
  3. Is there an associated timeline for this?

    In your opinion, why are some religious practices legitimate and others not? Who is to decide what a legitimate religious practice is? Religion can be any held beliefs, not just your standard fair Christian fundamentalist.
  5. Which ERCOT dashboard are you seeing this breakout?
  6. Hooray. We survived today. Let's do it all again tomorrow.
  7. You're barking up the wrong trip with regard to energy efficiency. Abbot just vetoed legislation to improve energy efficiency. So that isn't happening at least from a mandate perspective. Gov. Abbott vetoes energy efficiency bill - EUCI
  8. don't sleep on San Antonio

    Its hard for me to understand why Chad and Jennifer Brackeen even challenged the Indian Child Welfare act.
  10. I could not handle being in an environment where making payroll 15 to 30 days out was iffy. Fuck that.
  11. I see a lot of aggy the RTIC. They probably failed to qualify for their loan.
  12. Total load could definitely climb a lot more given the temperatures. Loads closer to 80k are scary. However, current conditions have substantial volumes of wind and solar generation during this week. No CR.
  13. ERCOT has a new 6-day capacity forecast. So far, ERCOT thinks it will survive. Grid and Market Conditions (ercot.com)
  14. I can only hope that Austin fails to live up to that hype.
  15. This is so painful and depressing to read.
  16. Mine is up in Travis County. Market Appraised value up 4.5% Net Appraised up the full 10% as I have several years of catchup accumulated. Dispute every year via Five Stone. Fucking BS....my neighbor's market appraised values dropped vs mine going up.
  17. that was good for a laugh. sucks teachers still get shit on
  18. As others have said, lots of coastal cities. The Gulf coast doesn't count.
  19. It is odd to me that higher education is going to really fight against ChatGPT. I think higher education needs to evolve and move away from the style of testing that aligns with the work product of ChatGPT. Note, I like the idea of oral defense. It transitions away from the written word to a presentation (where I assuming questions are asked) quickly can demonstrate mastery or ignorance of a topic. Further, I strongly believe you are going to see these AI tools used across many industries going forward. The notion that they are forbidden in college but then used extensively in the business world...makes no sense.
  20. Sounds like a cursed truck.
  21. Yeah. It’s a quick no. I can’t live in a small town.
  22. I look forward to when COA can hire enough lifeguards to keep all the pools open during the summer.
  23. No argument with that statement.
  24. I applaud the work that this landowner is doing it. However, it strikes me that he faces long odds if the regulatory agencies won't aggressively enforce rules and regulations. If ultimately, Greg Abbott wants Elon Musk business here in Texas, it strikes me that the portfolio of Musk companies will be able to get away with most rule-breaking.
