You should familiarize yourself with the polar vortex, the impact that ongoing climate change has on its now semi-regular collapse, and how this leads to massive cold fronts pushing south in the central region of the US. What is changing d

You have suggested this twice as proof of actual rolling blackouts of any significant size, but for some reason fail to note that while SPP did order rolling blackouts to shave about 1.5% of the load within 50 minutes they rescinded this or

You can write direct SQL queries using SQLAlchemy Core without engaging the ORM layer at all. It protects you from a few of the footguns associated with raw SQL but still provides most of the power and features you would want from raw SQL.

I think I went back and forth about adding a footnote to 'no one' to quantify before deciding against it. There are still some left who heat with wood, but only a percent or two. It seems pellet-based units are slowly taking ove

Not going to comment on the substance here, but just smirk slightly at the plaintiff being someone who bought calls at $100 just as the roller-coaster was headed up. I am sure there is some appropriate phrase that is the similar to 'n

No one in the US builds or uses functional fireplaces to heat the house. We have not done so for over 100 years. Any fireplace you see in the US is a decorative feature designed to look nice and set a 'mood' for a room. There ar

Wind turbines that are not built for cold weather operations will have problems with lubricants for joints and bearings and icing on the blades. The icing does the same thing to turbine blades as it does to plane wings (i.e. makes them suc

If you hunt around a little you will find info on the cold weather packages for wind turbines. Easiest for me to find was info about GE's 'Cold Weather Extreme' package for some of their mid-sized commercial turbines. You a

There is a difference between a fireplace and a wood-fueled heater. You have described the latter. No one would ever call what you have shown in those images a 'fireplace' in English. There are wood-fueled heaters but they have m

If you read the actual case it turns out that the judge did not allow one of the two damages claims, so it was not just a case of whatever the plaintiff wanted they received.

tl;dr is man posts review that is quite possibly defamatory about a law firm, firm sues, man opts for self-representation and does not show up, man faces default judgement.

I don't think there was a post-70s winter. There was just not enough 'there' to over-hype; it was toy problems that did not even try to masquerade as real solutions other than in sci-fi and popular culture. Luminaries in the

To claim all of this was based on foreign interference is revisionism without foundation, ignoring the agency of the Russian people and its tragically flawed and corrupt leadership/aristocracy. The Germans did not create or even influ
