Book cover that shows a Ford Raptor driving at twilight. A hand is seen from the driver's side window littering loads of fast food onto the side of the road. A banner says in the corner, "An unauthorized Dean Koontz Parody".

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

To be fair, this iteration of the Birds is one of the youngest teams in the league, has one of the best records, and Siriani won the Super Bowl 7 games ago.

I’m still hoping something comes together this year, though obviously there’s multiple things wrong right now.

Glad they have 10 days off after this, there’s a lot to fix on both sides

Large mammals of every variety scare me.

I’m also a large mammal and I try to remember that I might scare other people.

Bill Maher’s outed himself in about a million ways but going to the WH and getting bought off by Trump being nice to him was possibly the most telling thing he’s ever said (not that I watch him).

You don’t have any different information than I do.

They needed to get this done ASAP and it lingered for years, long enough for the SCOTUS to kick the can down the road.

If you want to be a leader you’re going to get judges on results. They wanted Trump to go away on his own and banked on that.

This has to be judged on outcomes, not processes.

This is why making the shutdown about healthcare was always risky.

If Dems win the standoff and get their policy demands, yes they will have substantively helped millions of Americans (a good thing, to be clear), but also they will have kept Republicans from a self-inflicted wound in upcoming elections

Biden’s entire presidency basically hinged on him locking up the traitor, and he didn’t do that

I found the whole thread interesting but especially its focus on the PA, which was allowed to play no role by Netanyahu.

Is there any word what this seeming agreement means for West Bank? By excluding the PA it seems Israel might still be trying annex all of it?

lol “because truck”

This is a belief that isn’t even just political. TV, commercials, pretty much every public-facing mass media puts conservative-coded white people in charge of everything.

The point is to make it feel true through rote repetition
