“You've been kidnapped. Your kidnappers allow you to keep tweeting to pretend everything is alright. What would you tweet that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?” …
If we speak about culinary excellence. No Caribbean country and I mean none can not cook as well as Barbados. (If you went uwi and only ate at the mount or from somebody food van your opinion does not count here)
Someone I know had her house broken into and everything was taken. I’m trying to help her get a 4-burner gas stove. If you have one to donate or sell, DM me please.
The U.S. insurance crisis: “There’s no place to hide from these severe natural disasters. They’re happening all over the country and so insurers are having to relook at their risk concentration.” https://t.co/T8cJrfK8Pg... https://t.co/ZdG6WHYmVJ
@al_x876@Marlon_COD Good Day! Person who did the 26 subjects
There were several reasons for doing this.
The payout is nice
The attention/recognition is definitely a bonus
I get to rub it in my brother's face (He topped in 2015)
Did it to get sweet academic revenge on some people
And a few others
Want to know the true reason nuclear is expensive?
It’s safety.
On my morning walk I watched a construction worker drag a full wheelbarrow up this extension ladder.
You would NEVER see this at a nuclear plant.
@kevinobriencha1 I’ve only been able to find global data relatively easily, but others have used the framework to find data in the Netherlands and the US.
Given the level of historical data STATIN and PIOJ collect/collate I’m certain we could do the same locally.
Speaking of critical thinking, the respondent wasn’t even agreeing with the OP. He appeared to be stating that employment alone as a metric is insufficient, and seemed to be suggesting the Simon Abundance Index as a companion metric.
We’re alway just talking past each other here.
On IRA anniversary, one of top 3 US utilities just released new resource plan recommending 5yr delay of interim decarb mandate (from 2030 to '35, P1 v P3 below), noting higher load & claiming it's cheaper & less risky to wait for SMRs than interconnect more PV. (1/4)
People keep saying things like the NYT does today: "the cost of generating electricity from the sun and wind is falling fast." A quick look at the graphs below suggests the story is more complicated, with 3 distinct phases.
Phase 1: Introduction, 2000-early 2010s. Sharp cost declines that happened as the industry went from near zero to commercial scale. Significant tech and manufacturing advancements, economies of scale, cost of capital declines, new vendor and developer competition
Phase 2: Growth, early 2010s-2019. Smaller cost declines as industry matures. Technology improvements slow, gains from economies of scale and vendor competition plateaue, credit spreads tighten, but labor costs increase.
Phase 3: Maturity, 2020-now. Costs increase as the deflationary aspects either plateau or have become a small % of total costs. Technology advancements start hitting against physical constraints, materials and labor costs increase, top tier acreage near demand centers is already developed, interconnection delays, interest rate increase severely raises cost of capital, disruption from tariffs on Chinese solar panels, intense vendor competition eases, more accurate pricing of congestion risk, wind turbine manufacturers reprice after losing billions and, also, COVID supply chain interruptions.
The NYT writes that, "in 2023, costs rose because of supply-chain problems, inflation and other issues," as if it's a one-time event this year that will quickly reverse. I worry this cost increase is more structural.
An Ananda Alert has been activated for 13-year-old Chevanice Coburne of Sunrise Crescent in Kingston 19, who has been missing since Saturday, August 12.
She is of brown complexion and medium build.
A mystery is going on with METEOR 2-1 DEB [57492, 2023-111C] formerly known as OBJECT C first noted by @OrbitalFocus.
The object is NOT debris it's a radio emitting active satellite.
@crosswalkersam and @MartinHerren1 have provided Doppler data to prove this. 🧵⬇️
