Would exhaust from site of the proposed power plant / data center flow to the Weber/Davis/Salt Lake Wasatch front areas that have the bad inversions?

Or is this far enough north and out of the way enough that it would not necessarily contribute to winter air inversion pollution?

I know that generating that much co2 in and of itself is bad. But I'm just trying to confirm if the concern of it adding substantially to inversion air quality is also valid

It absolutely is about storage capacity. If California built out a better system of reservoirs, it wouldn't need to take water from other states in the Colorado river basin.

If I am looking to get something that works with Home Assistant or esphome to replace my first gen nest thermostat, what should I get?

Thanks for the explanation.

So you don’t think the 1:10k odds compounded over every space launch are enough to be a problem?

I was thinking that maybe as you get to a scale where you have things coming and going all the time, and each time they have to pass through the debris layer, and if they have bad luck they become part of that debris, that eventually you get to a point where even just passing through that layer is untenable. But you don’t think that is likely even for a society sending out interplanetary vessels every day?

It’s because the sweet spot of EVs is replacing Toyota Corollas but cheaper (like BYD), not trying to replace the thing you haul your boat or trailer with (f-150 lightning).

BYD like cars at BYD like prices are the future of EVs. And yes, that will wreck the us auto makers

WaPo endorsing Harris would have changed exactly 0 minds. Everyone that would have read it already agrees with them. But it would have made them feel good about their existing world view.

Them _not_ endorsing _will_ change minds. There are people that read Washington Post that would take that as a sign that not even their trusted left-leaning paper is 100% comfortable with the candidate they should have endorsed, so maybe there's something there they should have hesitancy about too.

My understanding is that T-mobile solved their spectrum issue in the failed deal with AT&T. As part of the penalties of the deal not going through, AT&T had to give them a bunch of spectrum, and some cash to build out towers to deploy that new spectrum.

Something affecting Mormon fertility rates specifically is the dramatic increase in housing costs in the “Mormon Corridor” (the inter mountain us west strip of geography where most Mormons live). It’s simply too expensive for most young Mormon families to live the lifestyle they used to; with large homes and large families.

That area of the US has some of the most newly unaffordable areas in the country

I'm still using an HP LaserJet 5m that I got used from the local university's surplus sales department for $6 twenty years ago. It was made in 1995, so was 10 years old then and almost 30 years old now. I've had to replace the toner once. Works like a champ!

nothing else to add, other than "they don't make 'em like they used to"

I live in Utah. If that's what happens, that would be awesome! "Sorry kids, no fb/tiktok/insta and there's nothing I can do about it. None of them work where we live"

Would be a huge win for all parents. No social media, and we don't have to be the bad guys taking it away.

what do people do that have kids between the "too big for cargo bike" and "too young to drive their own car" category?

I used to take my kids all the time on my e-bike with a burley bike trailer. Now I have a 13 year old and a 10 year old. I'm pretty sure the middle schooler would get made fun of if his friends saw him showing up to school or soccer practice in the cargo bucket of my bike.

For people that have hit that milestone before me, what do you guys do for your older kids?
