It’s almost like the Blazers are trying to rage bait the city council into voting against the funding bill in order to manufacture reasons to leave. At this point that’s not hard to understand. At least it’s not hard for me. Dundon is trying to play a game of chicken.

I ....... don't really know how to feel about this. Why are they making this so hard? I really want to save the Blazers 🥺 but it feels like they simply do not care.

I should add that the Russian Mission Control Center, the TsUP, which monitors the ISS and Soyuz missions, is located in Korolyov. Picture one of the buildings at the Johnson Spaceflight Center in the Clear Lake region in Houston, Texas, getting attacked. That's kind of what happened.

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Surely someone has studied our modern epidemic of conservative men with unwashed asses.

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

A new deal on balcony solar just dropped in the US

Plug-in panels can lower your bills. To boost the American market for the tech, nonprofit Bright Saver is selling kits with no markup, starting at around…

Not even really sure what it says that I’m just some average straight white guy that LOVES Subaru’s and anytime anybody tries to come for the Subaru Socialists or Subaru Lesbians I’m like “here I am, send me, I will die in a glorious battle for the honor of the Subarite’s.”

Holy crap. Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division. Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.
