What exactly does the job do and how much are they banking a year?




Power Market Analyst.

While these jobs are not very popular in Louisiana yet, there is a need. You do not need an engineering degree but can work for a Generation and Transmission company, power marketing companies, consultants and large utilities. They generally pay well, can be north of 150K but I've seen some in the low 200s with experience. Skills are generally business, finance, and economic related.

I rode this


at Six Flags San Antonio last summer. Was super fun.

Not quite the same but....

The device has three 21-passenger trains to lift riders 150 feet in the air, then lock them in a face-first Cliffhanger hold just before dropping them down a 95-degree, beyond-vertical plummet at 60 mph. Are you bold enough to face this evil doctor and her spine-chilling creation?

The kid is taking a 3d printing class this semester and has taken to it. So I bought him a Bambu labs A1 mini. His class project was to design a new school wide bathroom/hall pass for next year and he made the final 3 for his high school. (good for him!) His/our next project is printing game prices/tokens for a space exploration game he is making.



My kid got a mini back in April for his birthday. There are many prints with useful attachments like a scraper holder and a "poo" basket. My kid is 12 so he is printing shite that makes noise and Rocktopus.... the Rock's head on a on octopus body. Anyway, He's been printing non stop since he got it. We have only used Bambu labs filament so no opinions on anything else, but its worked great. He has not had any issues so far.

The owners of Cleco Power have reached an agreement to sell the electric utility to Stonepeak Energy and Bernhard Capital Partners in a deal that will keep the firm headquartered in central Louisiana.



Nola.com link (not sure if paywalled, but I could see it)


quote:

The sale will need approval from the Public Service Commission, the five-member regulator of electric and gas utilities. When Macquarie first bought Cleco, the PSC made a host of conditions, including keeping the firm headquartered in Pineville and maintaining existing salaries and benefits for 1,200 employees.
Are we on board with Tyson if he’s there?
Tyson to the Chiefs? Would be nice.
Any chance Saints are working on George Pickens, he is signing his tag.

I'm the one that turned the girl down and I gained 50+ pounds and she looks great. So, take that OP.

Except I wasn’t designing a power plant. I was giving context of how mind bogglingly big that number was. Giving a plant size which is sized for worst case scenarios plus a safety margin doesn’t do that as well as point out its orders of magnitude more than what it takes to power a medium sized city.



Ok. Got it. My misunderstanding. Carry on .

Did average, not peak.



Average what?

In relation to what size power plant you would need to build to serve the load, you use peak.
quote:

uses around 100 megawatts


There is no way this is accurate.


Lafayette uses 600MW peak.

Superhero movies: a masculine male that can throw a convincing punch, cool costumes and gadgets, a hot chick who fills out her superhero tights, have the hero do heroic things. The villain has to be either evilly charming or charmingly evil. A plot that makes sense. And, the hardest thing of all, no pandering or ham-handed preaching of The Message. That's it.



This is the easiest of things. There are written guides out there that the superhero public already love and want to see on screen. Just do that. Like its written. Easy.

Need to hire Rajon Rondo.

He would be a great coach


I would support this.


Also, would rather CP3 (mentioned earlier), if they would want it, over Hamm or Doc or some other in that vein.

He won't make the team. WR is a must. If their guy isn't there at 8, then 42 is a must, I would think.
I've had it on my steam wishlist since the original trailer in Feb of last year. I have no idea when this will release. Steam just says coming soon.

And with this, you have spotted the troll attempt. Nicely done.
I have a 4 burner gas grill. It does great for my family and I usually cook a bunch. I miss the smoke smell and flavor from a charcoal grill. While I realize a charcoal grill is the only way to get that particular smell/flavor, what are some alternatives for smoke on a gas grill? I usually do burgers, pork steak, pork finger, quarters and breasts. I understand with real advice comes ridicule, I'll take the good with the bad.
