NukemVol

The next time my kid hits the toilet will be the first. The shorty will not be clean underneath.

That plant has been shutdown since 2022. I don’t think 300 cpm is a lot. The chemicals in the water might be worse than the radiation.

Do you understand how this works? Legit question.

I do not work on that side. But it’s pretty basic information that renewable energy credits allowed solar and wind to operate at negative wholesale rates. And it is also just fact that many single unit nuclear plants were shutdown during this period because they cannot compete in that environment as a baseload power source. They simply can’t pay for people to take their power.

It wasn’t until the last couple of years that this changed.

The good teams are good at cheating. Brady did it his whole career and the NFL is still changing rules for him. It’s the WWE.

I still put some weight in team talent / recruiting rankings and Georgia stills has double the blue chip talent. The Vols advantage at the cornerback position is gone to injury too. Still the same team in the middle of the defense too. I just don’t see this game as changed form prior years.

I've suspected for a long time that the Patriots did this with Tom Brady/TB12, too.

Deflategate was not about deflating balls but getting some evidence on TB12 salary cap avoidance. Deflategate was too dumb on its own to make any sense. Coincidentally Tom’s phone was too broke to turn over.

It’s why Tom Brady was paid half his going rate for 20 years.

I love when people predict the Braves to do something they’ve literally never done, sign a big FA. Their biggest FA contract is still BJ Upton.

Three outs are three outs. And you have to do it over multiple turns through the lineup. If anything the gap in worth between relievers and starters isn’t seen as big enough.

He pitched more than Billy Wagner. If relievers are let in, you can justify starters with short but dominant careers.

Utilities have a right to be concerned. Massive base load generation is tough to come by. Imagine spending $20B to serve one customer and then the AI bubble crashes leaving you on the hook for it. That would kill a utility in a deregulated market. The US was shutting down single unit nuclear plants just 5 years ago. You have some risk that the AI boom doesn’t manifest (or that it moves to China like everything else).
