Sure, it's a scale, not an absolute, but maximum efficiency is at steady state. As you move away from that, the gains drop quickly, especially versus managing the demand variance with on-grid storage.

In engineering speak, what he means is increased grid efficiency, which can happen simultaneously with increased demand and increased cost. But all that does is shift the inefficiencies off of the grid. It's redefining the system bound

Also, brown and yellow used to be much easier and cheaper shades of paint to make vs whites, blues, or reds (depending on the material to be painted). For example, stop signs in the US, while always intended to be red, were originally paint

The Cajuns were one of the first groups to realize this. After being expelled from Canada ([0]Le Grand Dérangement, 1755-1764), they realized the ducks that spent the summer in their previous home up north spent the winter in their new home

Will be interesting to see if the newish UK Supreme Court will attempt a US style supremacy power grab ala Marbury v Madison and subsequent cases. There was no explicit right to appeal constitutional rights in the US wrt to laws being uncon

In theory, yes. From a practical perspective, many of these rules are only implemented and enforceable because of the "in-house" self-adjudication framework, that operates on the presumption that it's own regs are lawfully v

The most practical effect from my perspective (engineer that has to deal with regulatory permitting and compliance) is that it will hopefully act as an incentive for agencies to better cooperate with applicants, to do so in a timely manner,

Didn't know it had a name, thanks. I'm trying to think of what other shows regularly do that. South Park is the only one that comes to mind.

Idk the payout by role, but besides only being an actor in a few episodes (stienbrener's voice, cape wearing attorney, & ?) Larry David left the show (as a writer) after season 7. I'm sure he still got paid plenty as a co-crea

Maybe- but that's a mess they'd rather avoid. And one that could backfire on them. Which is why before cutting state political donations entirely, they contributed to pretty much all candidates.

The district has tax revenue that (to oversimplify) will now be replaced with the regular county taxes, which makes it more or less revenue neutral. You say "handled by the county" as if it's a burden, but that's literal

What's not mentioned in the article is that all new improvements would be the county's responsibility, but that means the county also has to decide to approve those projects. They could just not spend any money on maintaining or

Goldman supposedly had the stock rated sell @ $30, before recommending the board reject $54.20. There's a premium expected for a total buyout, but I don't see how they justify ~80% higher than their current/previous rating.

There's an entirely separate system of dealer approved discounts that customers never see. Regardless, you aren't getting a few lunch. It just means your negotiated price had the margins to absorb whatever financing they ended up

There are also pvc caps made that fit perfectly on most spouts and work much better for spout caps, but iirc they aren't standard sch40. It was surprising to me that such crappy quality manufacturing manages to have such a standard cap
