  1. There's unlimited customers for natural gas. If you're referring to utilizing flared gas it has nothing to do with energy usage on the grid. Campaign donations? There's plenty of green energy money floating around. Put it to work. Bias against renewables? I thought Texas was a renewable leader and they're saving our ass or whatever the thread says. Not of your complaints make sense.
  2. Yeah I told my wife after checking out their website that the pool looked like there will be a DJ with turntables next to it.
  3. Why do you think Texas legislators chose Bitcoin miners over those options?
  4. Heading here for first time for wedding. Kids in tow. They're great and all, but have a feeling this place is more for the adults.
  5. Well ackshually even if it was a blood pressure thing that doesn't make sense to delay an epidural. Epidurals bring your blood pressure down. If it's “too high” for an epidural then you probably need to have an emergent C section anyway
  6. Also Eth ETF approved. What a quick turnaround. Obviously a political decision. Rules or laws they were citing previously don't matter. Their supposed principles are irrelevant. Very Fiat decision making process.
  7. Crypto miners here participate in demand response programs. When the demand is high they curtail usage and typically shut completely off. It's the concept of flexible loads. So at peak demand crypto will have zero responsibility for taking down the Texas grid. That's unlike a new player in energy demand. AI compute is not a flexible load player. In fact, it will be the runaway energy usage leader soon if it isn't already. Larry Fink from Blackrock expects trillions in energy infrastructure will be needed for AI, so goodbye to net zero anytime soon. Turns out it's AI boiling the oceans. From the piece Analysts expect ERCOT electric use will top that all-time high this summer with economic and population growth in Texas and demand for power from data centers, artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency mining rising fast. Again only one of those curtails. So better luck next time.
  8. Dems are pro crypto. Just the wrong kind of crypto. Symbolic Cbdc vote down party lines.
  9. It's a short video. The next frame is Elizabeth Warren is building an Anti Crypto Army
  10. Well you can't say they didn't try. How it started. How it’s going Sorry, Liz
  11. This doesn't make sense. You mean her blood pressure? Agreed and if she's on the fence about getting it and it’s getting into the evening hours, she should just get it. Better to have it placed by someone that's awake and her pain is not as bad yet, than to have it placed by someone that was asleep 5 mins ago and she's freaking out in pain.
  12. It's a broader shift that's causing a reaction from the other side. My how the turn tables. It says they're opposed, but does not issue veto threat unlike the resolution voted on just one week ago. They've seen some polling or something that has forced this shift. Seems that it is an actual issue to be concerned about in Presidential election year. I don't buy it though. I think they shift back as soon as election is done.
  13. CPI print more or less in line with expectations has the market in general feeling good about rate cuts this year. BTC up 8% today. $66,500.
  14. Eh. You can judge, doesn't bother me. There’s other things that go into ROI besides purely dollars. It’s one thing my teenage daughter really cares about and works hard at, so enabling some hard work and seeing results is a positive. She wants to be a UT cheerleader. I imagine it will happen so that counts for something. Head trauma I’m not worried about, she isn't a flyer. Fortunately, 40 Grand is something we can swing. I'm shocked though at the socio-economic class of a lot of cheer families. They cut some corners and definitely don't spend quite as much, but it is very similar to certain people we’ve all seen overspending on things like fireworks or theme parks. 🤣
  15. Yeah not my favorite but each one of my kids has loved it at that certain age.
  16. My oldest daughter got into cheer after doing tumbling classes for a few years. We just happened to live close to a top gym. Classes, dues, uniforms, travel. I’ve always avoided adding up the cost. It's has to be 30-40k a year, especially when you end up taking the family to Disney and all.
  17. Only familiar with laying pipe. Sorry, I hope it all worked out.
  18. Regulatory fight picking up steam. Good to see Senators from each party addressing this.
  19. Would you prefer collectivist? I'm not sure what else to call giving up most, or all, of your wealth to the state at death. What were the living standards for those thousands of years in those various tribal communities? These people are very welcome to do that. I would guess their kids are still getting substantial assets to make it through life. That's the thing. It shouldn't be up to the state to confiscate people’s wealth at death. My kids weren't mentioned. It was your lack of kids. Which is fine. Again a personal choice. But to be someone without kids, advocating for eliminating inheritance and population decline is a chef’s kiss.
  20. Carrying on that legacy. It's not perfect. There are plenty of losers that inherit huge amounts but amount to nothing. But people that are smart enough and work hard enough to make something to pass on to their kids are more likely to have kids that have the same capabilities over time. Compounds The alternative of giving it to the collective. “Burning it” figuratively is so backward and communist honestly. Ridiculous. And I'll take your brushing off my kid's question as an admission you have none.
  21. What a terrible idea. One of the worst I've seen on this site actually. You're welcome to give up everything you have at death, but one of the great motivators for a lot of people is what legacy and wealth to leave to your children and their children. My guess is you have no children.
