they still want to kill him

To piggyback on this, generation automatically increases to match demand up to the point of installed and online generation capacity, this is managed 24/7 to maintain a constant voltage. Power companies also know that when temperatures changes by x degrees, power consumption differs from the yearly average by y amount. As you said when unseasonably high temperatures are projected and the correlated demand gets near or above the online or potentially online generation capacity (as this is isn't a exact correlation by any means) there is a call for voluntary reduction in power use or it becomes involuntary. Without a mandate to have a certain excess generation capacity and increased spending on maintenance/upkeep/upgrades (all very expensive) to ensure less time for consumers to suffer power outages we're gonna keep seeing power outages, and at a rate much worse than other developed countries

things are going well here in the commonwealth

I'm going back to the office 3 days a week soon and even though I like my job well enough and the commute will be fine (I'll even get to ride my bike part way to work just to avoid dealing with parking!) and that I'll be in a brand new extremely nice office with a gym and all those things I am still considering getting a full time remote job because the quality of life it affords for me is almost entirely worth it. Working on the porch, playing with my kid or switch when I'm not busy, and just getting more time with my family. That's the good shit.

Older Neal ketyal but with bigger ears and the hair parts the other way And probably didn't defend nestle on child slavery accusations

"...and that's why I can use that word"

🙏🙌🙏

Yep. There was an effort in the past(and is coming back into style) to hold elections for state offices separately from federal ones so as to avoid federal regulations In theory the 14th and 15th amendments give congress the power to regulate state and local elections (guarantee and equal protections clauses) but that probably won't fly under the conservative Roberts court

And you know some future GOP house candidate will be in full blackface

lmao mark Warner continues to suck ass

Oh Jesus I just had a vision of white people doing just this and I can't put into words just how immediately racist it gets with just the food selection

I'm sure it will die in the senate

It's truly how you know it's a good thing overall

Not to dwell on the point very long, but could it be that our esteemed turtle doesn't know what is in the constitution?!?

Nailed it Now to see what he actually does when it is quite clear Republicans aren't going to play ball

if that's the two page summary it sucks and is a bad idea. Gas tax increase is particularly bad politics, far outweighing the "good" of bipartisanship

I heard you loved nestle (thanks d1p search function)

Grassley is all for a massive expansion of "you know what" at the dairy queen

just some casual antisemitic tropes from our big orange former president

Teaching kids not that bad calls are part of the game but that you must react irrationally and violently to them. Good plan. 👍
