Until last week that was literally the only series the Stors had gotten right
This season has been fully of curveballs a ton of teams right around 500 is pretty wild and the teams that are under like Colorado and Chi White Sox have played really solid ball recently
Yeah you hit the nail on the head. They had previously been more or less just stealing mining equipment from others and setting it up on military bases. I would assume there is an exception for the military so that they can keep doing this they just needed to make it illegal for the regular everyday person
Ehhh I am not sure they really subsidized theirs.... they have had grid issues for years now since they never upgraded or took care of them and then were sanctioned. They have had blackout issues for a while now
Oh snap I just saw that the ~News territory was back! Can't believe I missed it coming back! Great to see it back as a good catch-all for good articles that do not fit anywhere else!
Uncle Murda dropped one of the best songs about this at the beginning of the year... Uncle Murda - Rap Up 2023 Part 2 so so good!
Week 1: ATL
Week 2: AZ
Week 3: BOS
Week 4: BAL
Week 5: NYM
Week 6: Cleveland
Week 7: Houston
Week 8: Philly
Part of me wishes I could still keep riding with the Stros since it seems.... we might have it figure out?!?! I mean not only did we win at home which is something we haven't been able to do for over a year now but we won 6 in a row at one point?! Could it be?!
Cause the world is damn expensive... How the hell is WHOLE FOODS the same price as Harris Teeter, Giant, etc. It's absolutely absurd!
So with typical assets there is a method to the madness of selling the government follows. BTC though doesn't really follow the same rules as well people will panic if the government does stuff so its a catch-22 for the government.
Still nothin failing
Not sure what the hell I am doing wrong I am bamboozled
My only guess is that the issues lies here but I cant figure out how to connect the wallet that they gave me already? Its not the address it appears???
Okay now I know this is going to sound super super dumb but I haven't dealt with the LN really ever... How do I connect Alby and send sats from stacker to the wallet? I have linked the accounts but whenever I try it says error 400 please configure your funding source?
Long term I am sure other things will be invested/created that will replace it but for right now it is by far the best thing for not only BTC and crypto but the general public as well!
Yep! Due to how renewables froze up and shut down with wind and solar additional generation while helpful wouldn't have really fixed anything due to how it was a sudden spike in power needs. Miners fill a gap of creating demand and being able to be flipped off like a light switch!
All righty! Okay so Texas' Grid is run by ERCOT a 501c not a private company and they oversee the powerplants and coordinate when some are offline for maintenance and such. In Feb. 2020 a cascade of issues hit the state at once. When dealing with the electric load (power on the grid) its a super delicate thing... you cant have to much power on the lines if there isn't a need or the grid will collapse and if to much power is needed the opposite can happen.
During the freeze, two huge things happened. The first one was the freezing temps going as far south as they did and how long they lasted. It froze the LNG pipelines that fed the power plants and while up in Dallas that was just pure stupidity in the Rio Grande Valley these temps were not in any sort of plan. The second thing was the wind turbines froze. Now if you are like me you go well they have them in the north and midwest and they are fine so what made the ones in Texas freeze.... come to find out they literally discovered simply speaking a new form of ice that only happens in very specific climates like Texas. Even with the freeze, there was high humidity so this unique kind of ice crystals formed that no one knew would form on wind turbines.
Once the freeze passed there were limited options to quickly fix the grid. Since the grid failure was caused by a sudden spike in power needs the grid needed a solution that could suck the hell out of power really artificially increasing the power needs. Guess what fits that bill! BTC mining! While others talked about and to a point are still pursuing data centers the issue with them is that Texas needed something that Could also turn off and data centers cant really do that without causing damage to the systems.
BTC thus continues to be the best and easiest fix to address these swings. The state pays them in electrical credits to turn off and the companies have made hella money doing so. Since the freeze there have been several storms/weather events that have required even more power than during that freeze and the grid has been fine! It really is a fantastic solution at least when it comes to Texas!
