  • “He captured this feeling of people who are tired of being lied to, tired of being lied to by politicians and officeholders of both political parties,” Lotter said. “And they were sick and tired of another poll-tested Washington creation politician. … I think he taps into that, and he has been able to keep that going.”

    I’ve got to be more careful. I’ve just woken up after facepalming so hard I lost consciousness. So they want to be lied to by a mass media created and tested politician instead?

    I’m a little worried about the state level elector shenanigans that have played out since 2020. Is it possible we’ll see a state ignore it’s own voters?


  • Why? What should people know about Texas power grid upgrades?

    Best I can see right now is ERCOT and others saying lots of upgrades have been made, but not specifics. I can see ERCOT and the legislature going back and forth on a “market overhaul” that no one can quite agree on yet and which favors more on-demand sources (natural gas and such). Can you point to where people should read about upgrades?

    I think there is a bad title here, but that’s not the title at the link. I don’t know where this title came from. OP? The link is a pretty straight forward reporting of this recently released EIA report and doesn’t seem to contain much of the author’s opinion (apart from being on a renewable biased website).









  • A search for “asymmetrical spoon” gives a few that are shaped just like OP’s. These ones look particularly close in shape. They also have sort of similar design around the handled ends - at least in that they have designs rather than a fully plain end.

    OP doesn’t say anything about the flatter side being thinner or sharper. I think if meant to cut into grapefruit or ice cream that side would be sharper/thinner. Absent sharpening, a pointy spoon should penetrate something easier than a less pointy one - and these look less pointy than if they were symmetrical. Plus, you’d bend those up pretty quick in hard ice cream I think. I think they’re just asymmetrical for the sake of it, a point of distinction perhaps marketed as favoring right handed people in getting liquids off a flat surface better.
