  1. https://www.ciel-et-terre.net/hydrelio-floating-solar-technology/hydrelio-products/ 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.
  2. 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. https://www.northbaybusinessjournal.com/article/news/healdsburg-debuts-biggest-floating-solar-farm-in-nation/
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

    Yeah, Stroud needs to cross or shoot without it getting blocked every time. That was frustrating because we worked it really well to him several times in the first half with nothing to show for it. That left back completely shut him down.

    To be fair, we are not deep, we didn’t start our first 11, and we had to make subs to who we did start. Not pretty but we need to have better personnel available

    Kol is constantly caught up field out of position as well. Been a theme all season.

    It’s the midfield being all out of whack that is making the back line give the ball away at a much higher rate. I’m not sold on them defensively but the giveaways are due to not having options.

    Cecilio looks gassed. Or maybe just pissed we keep giving the ball away

    So this is why Sanneh doesn’t start. He’s having a rough game with the ball, and not helping Kol out defensively when we don’t have it. Yikes.
  13. Anyone swung by Vacancy brewing in south Austin? It’s practically next door to St Elmo…
  14. Gold is the best pilsner made in Austin. Change my mind.
  15. Western US. You’ll get nothing and like it.

    Yeah, but most Euro stadiums have an extra time clock as well to let you know how much extra time has elapsed.

    Well, we were comfortably the better team. That’s nice.

    Yeah. And the ref’ing sucks.

    His momentum was carrying him away from goal so he tried to 1 time it. Didn’t get it clean.

    @Brisketexan well, you wanted Poch to shoot more often.

    It’s be nice if their professional fouls got carded like ours did.
