Appreciate that and ditto, but people shouldn't hand-wave away DUIs. There is never a need to drink, getting in legal trouble for drinking is by definition problem drinking.
You can absolutely be an alcoholic and not have it interfere with your job or personal life. That's easily half the people in my AA meetings and how a lot of people get there.
I appreciate it, but what I appreciate more is that you saying that means your the kind of person someone whos just starting to get sober would be lucky to run in to. Keep that up.
It can depend, also this little snippet doesn't say if it's energy or delivery. Some utilities really like expanding delivery because the projects are revenue, and they don't make much, if any, on the delivery. But in some cases those delivery expansion projects have a long payback time, so they avoid them until they're critical, and also lose if after building the demand they were serving goes down.
It also varies a ton by state (Texas being the most extreme example). As well as, someone noted below, how the energy purchase goes. In my state there's an independent not for profit that is not the utility, and not the energy producer, that just coordinates purchase of power from the broader region (across multiple states). They'll mix whats coming into the grid in the state going "call Ohio and buy XXYY megawatts for ZZ hrs from that coal fire joint". The control room is cool as hell. They seem pretty ethically clean, but purchasing that power is a bidding process (like, real time), and your bid has to be competitive.
As a yank my favorite thing about breakfast in europe is it has... vegetables. I skip breakfast a lot because it makes me sluggish, but after a trip to Amsterdam for work, I started doing what I had at the small hotel there: some combo of cold cuts, one or two bite sized pastries like in the picture, some sliced tomatoes with a bit of salt, some peppers or green beans, some cheese, and a hard boiled egg. Occasionally some kimchi or saurkraut, but that I never had with breakfast in europe.
My only real gripe about EU breakfast is the coffee. Absolutely delicious but gone to fast. Even if inferior, I need volume. Coffee is my emotional support beverage to get me through the first half of my day. It's either that or a pitcher of bloody marry's and I've been sober a while now.
Mini discs! They never really took hold in the US but I had one and LOVED it. Rewritible media, but better quality than cassette. Sony made a killer player that only somehow sipped a single AAA battery, which was a big deal for a kid.
Yeah I'm sober a year now due to drinking myself into severe heart failure (ejection fraction of 17%, up to 47% now) and this is correct. If you can enjoy it great, but the second people start making excuses it's over, it's just a matter of how long the slide takes.
I destroy those since going sober. I think it's that carbonation itself has a flavor, and in cheap beer that carbonation was actually the majority of the feel/flavor. Occasionally I'll feel silly buying so much, but then I remember how much I used to spend on booze without batting an eye and grab another 12 pack for $2.85.
"You owe the companies nothing. You, especially, don’t owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs." Banksy on utilizing ad space.
Despite doing an awful lot with ESP32s, Home assistant, and a bunch of LoRa stuff, I know very little about BLE. Would it be possible for folks to voluntarily add their MAC to a data base on gitlab, and have a ESP32 program that:
Spammed out whatever the max reasonable number of random entries from that database is
Updated it every-time it was on a specified WiFi
So that every time I drove by one of these, not only do I look like a spacehulk of TPS, headphones, cars and cellphones, but I'm specifically helping someone appear somewhere not their location as well?
Another fun eye/brain fact: There are two "outputs" for each eye. One goes to your occipital lobe, in the back, and really processes the image ("That's a cup, it .." etc) and one goes to your brain stem, which processes movement.
It's possible to have the connection to the occipital lob severed, but not to the brain stem. It's a condition called blindsight. The result is that if you showed someone a cup, they wouldn't be "see" it; they wouldn't know what it is and wouldn't register you were showing them anything at all... but if you tossed it to them they could catch it.
I was interviewing for a position that they made a big deal about "100% in office". I'd be doing manufacturing R&D, which is usually conducive to a pretty nice "when we're here it's an intense 14hr day(s) executing a run, the trade off is when we're planning we do it from home in pajamas". I was disappointed they weren't open to that. It was a start-up using toll manufacturing which means a small team planning runs, and usually a sparsely populated, poorly provisioned office. Get to last round of interviews with the CEO, the day before the interview I'm told "<Mr.Smith> will be joining remotely". I canceled and withdrew my application.
I'm at a job now that's also not remote, but its 24/7/365 so, you know, it makes sense lol.
It's sobering (pardon the pun). As a rule any industry that can advertise help programs, or "responsible use" only exists because of the lives it ruins. They know that, financially, those that keep it going can't and won't stop regardless of what is said.
You do you, but what you're describing is when the gear does the most. Most accidents are close to home. Gear does help in crazy accidents, but for a low speed collision its the difference between being sore and permenant life changing injury/brain damage.
There is no garuntee a crash kills you. It's not death you need to worry about.
Based on what it says for distribution I don't think so, but a hummingbird moth is very similar (another clearwing moth)
I know the names, but only that they're F1 drivers because the ads for that are everywhere. Couldnt tell you who they race for.

My dumbass thought they meant "public figures".

All hail MD.
Venus fly traps are actually only in the US. The Carolinas specifically.

That's still pretty damn cool. Got dang it... another project for the pile...
Thanks :)
