No, the judges looked at the laws and determined that the activity is under Federal jurisdiction.

Since you are unhappy the thing to do is get the law changed to exclude prediction markets from the laws regulating futures contracts.

I happen to agree with you by the way. The Commerce Clause was way over extended back in the days of FDR. If there is no physical product crossing the border it should be under the State's jurisdiction. The prediction markets do not want to set up 50 different companies so want to stay under the Federal umbrella for obvious reasons.

Capacity factor is what they look up. Take the headline number and divide by three for wind and four for solar. Keep in mind wind and solar both go to zero on a routine basis.

Obligatory graph, green line is wind plus solar.

In Eastern Washington the heat wasn't an issue but it was warm enough the precipitation fell as rain and caused a bit of flooding including washing out part of US highway 2. I do not dispute the snow deficit.

On the other hand my winter electric bill was two-thirds of usual. (All electric house.)

Speaking as a former submariner boredom is good.

No more than 10% of your portfolio should be in high-risk assets. That's a very old rule and still applies.

I just added the fifth hard drive to my 2010 Mac Pro. Besides the video card it also have a USB 3 card and an NVME to PCI card. It works fine, I even got Fedora to talk to the old Broadcom WiFi card.

If the price changes on lettuce while I'm wandering through the rest of the store how does it not charge me the new price at the checkout?

If the price only changes when the store is closed anyway then there is no issue.

We do have such laws. I've caught a discrepancy several times, twice at the same store in the same month. I no longer go to that store.

The issue is you have to remember what the shelf price was, then notice while checking out that it has increased, stop the line and demand a price check.

Are you willing to be Kevin or Karen for five minutes? It depends on how much it is. And some people just won't.

That's an interesting point. In my case I'm out of range of broadcast TV and there is no cable service either. It's satellite, streaming, or nothing.

I chose nothing.

The TV station is 120 miles away, the advertising on that station is of no value, I'm not driving a 240 mile trip for shopping in some store in that city. Do the advertisers know that the audience numbers the station claims include people who are not ever going to visit the store? Are the advertising rates adjusted appropriately?

That was funny. Even if think Bari Weiss is Goebbels and add on Fox you still have ABC, NBC, MS NBC and of course NPR on the hardest of the hard left side.

The we have The Atlantic (graciously accept your subservience to the European elite) and VOX, (total enslavement to the All-Glorious State is the highest calling of human-kind.) There is also the New York Times (The deep state is your friend, trust the deep state.)

If you want to be a subject of an All-Glorious State move to Europe.

30 is a bit warm, but 27 is normal in my house during the 8 weeks of summer.

It's March. The earliest AC season starts is the end of June. We had snow on the ground last week.

Obviously this sort of depends on where you live, but the heat pump will be in heating mode for at least another month.

The good socialists down there should have been doing this all along. It's warm in Cuba and you don't get the 15 hour December nights we have to deal with up north. It wouldn't take that big of a battery to keep the refrigerator running over night. A solar thermal collector will supply the hot water.

The biggest issue is anchoring the panels well enough to stay put in a hurricane.

The rust belt, which includes Ohio, is full of abandoned industrial sites most of which already have decent power supplies and other utilities. Put the data centers there.

If they absolutely insist on a green field project then at the very least require a reclamation bond to pay for demolition and cleanup of the site when it gets abandoned in a few years.

The NYT isn't about journalism any more, its job is to advocate for the Administrative State.
