How did this get funded!?

Working parent here! I'm a little afraid to admit my social life could best be described as "social distancing" - so your aren't alone out there or on here. I've had periods of my life that were less social than others. During one of those in my 20s, I would get really stoned and go " urban hiking" or "big house watching." It killed a lot of time and was relatively healthy. Hope you find your niche!

As someone who was diagnosed at 43, I relate so much to this comment. Most things, buttered toast included, aren't worth the weeks of pain. Although, I have seriously considered a Dick's Deluxe burger on a couple of occasions.

They don't cover the whole state - just the Puget Sound area and not all of that is electrcity. We have a bunch of PUDs, which is a far superior model in my mind. I'd be willing to organize to get PSE out.

There's only like 5 of those in this area (Seattle). The rest are Cyber trucks.

To be fair, adulting is exhausting.

I think it's let them eat less cake. 😉

Yes! Same with cholesterol or blood pressure medications. If you need them, you should use them...

They tried it in Oregon. Worth reading about what worked and what didn't.

So I work with public utilities / co-ops (different from private utilities). One of the challenges I consistently see is the utilities are handed a bunch of regulations without the funding to adequately support them. This strikes me as similar. Lineman safety is a real concern. I suspect it could be mitigated, but those mitigations probably come with a cost. The easiest fix is to fund lineman safety measures in the bill.

They goats are key for me.

 

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to use the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy military forces, in Minnesota amid escalating tension over a deployment of federal agents in the state's most populous city, which has become the focus of daily clashes.

"If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

 

OMFG

 
 
 

Rough day...

 
 

The only thing that has generated change is a bunch of airlines that complained after the door plug incident. Dave has got to go.

Side question: When are they going to finally break up the company?
