The infamous plant, closed since 2019, is getting a new lease on life after Microsoft agreed to buy its electricity to supply a growing fleet of data centers.

To be clear: Microsoft isn't directly using the electricity themselves; they're supplying it to others to offset their own use of fossil-fuel-generated electricity.

It's for an exhibit for the public in the US, where doing it in Fahrenheit will make it more accessible to the people seeing it.

Yep.

If he had something like a normal healthy interest in sex, even with a bit of a kink, nobody would care.

Announcing that you're a Nazi and pro-slavery is the problem here.

Per the paper:

The GMST-CO2 relationship indicates a notably constant “apparent” Earth system sensitivity (i.e., the temperature response to a doubling of CO2, including fast and slow feedbacks) of ∼8°C, with no detectable dependence on whether the climate is warm or cold.

This is a very very big deal if it turns out to be valid in the present world.

There are some parts of the US where they are not first-past-the-post.

  • Alaska - uses top 4 primary + ranked choice general
  • Maine - uses ranked choice voting
  • California & Washington - use a top-two primary

The Greens could effectively run in those places, as well as races where the Democrats aren't running a candidate.

But when I see them running for local office, they're basically running to be on the ballot, not mounting a serious effort to win.

I suspect that hostility towards mask wearing and lack of maintenance due to the governor blocking congestion pricing are a much bigger deal

I plan to do exactly that, at the ballot box.

Not if we elect Harris.

The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.
