    The Supremes

    Its hard for me to understand why Chad and Jennifer Brackeen even challenged the Indian Child Welfare act.

    I could not handle being in an environment where making payroll 15 to 30 days out was iffy. Fuck that.

    I see a lot of aggy the RTIC. They probably failed to qualify for their loan.

    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.

    ERCOT has a new 6-day capacity forecast. So far, ERCOT thinks it will survive. Grid and Market Conditions (ercot.com)

    I can only hope that Austin fails to live up to that hype.

    This is so painful and depressing to read.

    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.

    As others have said, lots of coastal cities. The Gulf coast doesn't count.

    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.

    Sounds like a cursed truck.

    Yeah. It’s a quick no. I can’t live in a small town.

    I look forward to when COA can hire enough lifeguards to keep all the pools open during the summer.

    No argument with that statement.

    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.

    I'm a huge fan of roundabouts. Wish we had more across the city. Texas drivers seems to fear them as they require engaging your brain.

    Glad Feinstein made the announcement given her age.

    I've seen the rumors on Cronk. Has an official statement been made yet on his termination?

    Outage map shows many crews assigned to outages around Hill elementary. Maybe that area gets resolved today. Still waiting to see signs of crews for 78757 - Allandale.

    I got the same text. Sucks ass.

    Nextdoor is equally off its rocker. Posts asking for neighbors to turn off their generators because the sound of the generators are too annoying. if you have infants, particularly with medical conditions, get yourself to a hotel. Even if it is 30 miles away. Nobody is turning their generator off until they get their power back.

    A utility repair truck with a parts trailer in tow circled my block real slow. I got my hopes up. But I circled the block 20 minutes later and no sight of the truck so he must have just been lost or was just doing recon. The wait continues. It was the first repair truck I have seen since our outage began. Maybe my power will be on by Wednesday. The number of customers with outages continues to fall but the actual number of outages remains persistently high above that 1500 mark. I need to drink more.
