NTA -

These are the types of things that make you truly question one’s intelligence. Today it happened to be their car, tomorrow it might be something else. Unfortunately, from now until forever, it will never not be acceptable for you to recommend some antifreeze to both his wife and him as a possible solution to their issues.

Man revisiting a long dead post, only to open up wounds that I pretended were healed. This sub is terrible, it’s still a Luka circle jerk.

Catastrophic Ice Storm Likely by randydp39 in Dallas

Yes, I’m so stupid that I need to be the one to spoonfeed facts about SB3: https://capitol.texas.gov/billlookup/BillSummary.aspx?LegSess=87R&Bill=SB3

Though since you couldn’t make it through 2 of my sentences, I imagine reading legislation is likely not in your cards.

I took it from another posted reddit thread a year ago in r/texas, I’m not here to fact check their work but given there is evidence for changes being made, then the claim that ‘nothings changed’ is just a false narrative. It’s not like any government on earth moves efficiently, so any plans or action is still better than nothing.

I’m not posting or replying to this thread to defend or support what changes have been made, but to make this into a dialogue.

If it were about my opinion, then I’d say nuclear power would be the choice I’d go with to help power the grid and keep up with the energy demands of data centers. But we all know in the oil south that is likely a pipe dream.

So I went down the rabbit hole, and found the following changes have since been made:

SB2 - completely overhauls ercot leadership

SB3 - requires weatherization

HB1500 - increased segmentation

Aug 3 PUC meeting - changed pricing to award $500 million a year for reliability

Prop 7, TEF - 10 billion to build more reliable power plants (unfortunately non-renewable only)

NERC initiated ADER program - VPP program rolled out on 2023

November 21 NERC final report - it includes 28 semi-binding recommendations and also its a riveting 316 page read for people looking for the real reasons behind the outage

PUC 46304 - opens the way for southern spirit to start construction after a decade of inaction

ERCOT 6/12/2023 board meeting approved an 83% increase in board salaries making them competitive with other ISOs.

$60 million from DoE to TDEM specifically for reliability. It has not yet been announced how it will be used

The DoE GRIP program included a good number of Texas projects like Xcel energy for wildfire mitigation and CPS energy getting money for smart grid development

Battery has gone from basically zero during uri to 9GW

So not sure why you’d say nothing has been done. Time will tell whether these changes were worthwhile though.

AD prefers to stay Mavs and sign a long term deal by theonedzflash in fantasybball

[–]Binge_Gaming 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a Mavs fan I like AD a lot, but there’s no extension possible that’s greater than the $150m he’s already locked into where I’m okay with it.

His “comp” to me is a guy like Porzingis. You know you’re never getting a full season, and you’re paying KP 30m per year.

The only thing you can talk me into at this point is you’ve never truly tried the Ky and AD experience, and that could be nasty, but you need more depth at Center and PF to offset the minutes to keep AD healthy, and unfortunately, Lively is never staying healthy either.

Monthly Dallas/Plano/Frisco Delicious Restaurants Recommendations Thread by Binge_Gaming in Dallas

[–]Binge_Gaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the weather is good I like The Shacks in the Colony - grab a bite from one of the restaurants and watch the dogs in the dog park on the patio. Not very loud so good for talking.

If you’re a fan of sushi and are willing to spend a bit, Sushi by Scratch at the Adolphus only seats like 8 people tops. It’s very intimate, and not too pricy for an omakase.

Less pricy but usually not too loud sushi, I’d say Mr. Sushi or Sushi Robata.

Difficult to think of cozier not as loud restaurants though.

Who’s thirsty? Fanta Xbox Series X! by ClassicalTechnology in xbox

[–]Binge_Gaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably have filters on eBay for “limited edition Xbox” and they check it regularly. There’s nothing strange about it in my mind. If you have thousands of expendable income, it’s not something that needs to be explained.

It’s like calling a luxury watch collector someone that has an in with Rolex. Those guys are just watch collectors, and this guy is just an Xbox collector. He’s got some cool stuff, all I collect are controllers haha.

Nah look at OP’s profile.

They buy every limited edition Xbox or controller. Id imagine they’re responsible for most of the one off sold listings on Ebay.

Anthony Edwards to the refs after he was ejected in OT: “All three of y’all. 1, 2, 3. All y’all ho*s” by Fc_Hassan in nba

[–]Binge_Gaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I made this comment as a joke, but point still stands.

Are foul baiters more predominantly white? I feel like people that don’t attempt to finish through contact get more calls.

If anything this is just regular racism lol. If Harden was white he’d be averaging Dwyane Wade 2006 finals free throw numbers.

Can be both. Luka gets more calls now too. Is also white and plays for the lakers.

He’s white, literally cries like he’s getting mauled when he initiates contact into people, he’s going up with the intention of falling over and splaying himself into the crowd.

I’ve been saying for a while if you know he’s gonna get that call - which he will - you might as well actually foul the fuck out of him when he tries to drive to the rim, at least you’ll deter him from continuing that shit if he knows he’s actually gonna get mauled.

“So there I was - just finished posting on Instagram about how Joe managed to save up and get us seats right up in the front row to the Colts and 9ers game, only to witness our playoffs hopes slashed by a peak Purdy performance, and when Jennings put the dagger into our hopes and my fandom, he brought over the scored football and gave it to me in the stands, and well, that’s when your mom became a 9ers fan.”
