I don't think straw would emit lead because it wasn't around when leaded gasoline was used. And yes there is nothing like totally dry fire heat. Interesting to know the different costs of wood in different areas. It used to be $250 CDN per cord but electricity prices have gone up a lot around here so now they are charging $350 but it is still the cheapest form of heat next to heat pumps.

That dynamic â" small residential customers losing out to massive industrial electricity buyers â" is exactly what's driving the broader shift to distributed solar and storage.

What?

You are acting like this is a common occurrence happening all across the country - it isn't. This article is the first such case , and since it takes effect in one year, it isn't "...driving the broader shift to distributed solar and storage". Tax incentives, rising utility prices, and concerns about the environment are what has been driving folks to invest in alternative energy sources like residential solar panels.

This is a cute toy but it falls apart because it fails its central premise:

The LLM is instructed that the encyclopedia is hallucinated and absurd, but it must not contradict itself.

It does, though. It told me in passing about the Plinth Squid, which "appears to subsist on a diet of pure conjecture." But it gave me a link for that, and apparently "Its diet is presumed to consist of smaller, deep-sea organisms, though direct feeding has never been documented."

A week ago they told everyone that they weren't going to ship and that they were keeping the money. Now they're telling everyone they shipped.

Wow, you got it so wrong in those 2 sentences!

"A week ago they told everyone that they weren't going to ship and that they were keeping the money."

No, they said that a $100 preorder was not a guaranteed order, and they didn't say they were "keeping the money." It becomes an order when they pay the remaining $400 - it's really a very simple concept, I'm surprised you don't understand it.

"Now they're telling everyone they shipped."

No, now they are telling everyone they are starting to ship, present tense, not past tense, over the next several weeks.
