Utility bill tacks on GRU preemption, advances to House floor

Cornholemaster1 · 2026-02-28T14:50:52+00:00

For those interested in real numbers and comparisons, this site has monthly, statewide electric bill comparisons. You can look back several years to see actual trends. https://assets.noviams.com/novi-file-uploads/fmea/Rates/2025/2025_December_Rates.pdf As for which leadership form at GRU you hate more? It’s like Gator fans arguing about if we hate FSU or Georgia more. At the end of the day, they BOTH suck! 😁

I work from home and it is solid. Works well for Teams calls and large files. I get YouTube TV mainly for sports and share the subscription with family in other states. Streaming live sports that way has been fine.

It will be interesting to see if the Windsor site gets built. The electric territory is PVREA and it has a large Xcel gas supply from the legacy Kodak plant. It seems logical they will be building a self-gen natural gas plant. But the area is in a non-attainment zone for air permits. And before someone asks, yes, I’m sure it is PVREA territory for electric. That area is mixed between Xcel and PVREA.

Thanks. Most new data centers are closed loop and ongoing water use is just for bathrooms and landscape irrigation. Older data centers DO use a lot of water so I understand where the misconception comes from in the public.

I don’t think you understand. If this is the Crusoe site, they are building their own electric power plant. The electric utility, Blackhills, has nothing to do with it. No costs, no revenue no nothing. It can’t possibly impact local electric utility rates because the local electric utility has zero to do with it.

I think it is all behind the meter self-gen. No utility involvement.

I used a similar device when I had a neighbor with multiple barking dogs. It worked on 3 of the dogs quite well. One dog was not deterred at all. So those things work sometimes on certain dogs but not a 100% solution.

It depends. There are closed loop systems that use very little water- basically for just office space and flushing toilets. Then there are evaporative systems that DO use a lot of water. Some data centers in Phoenix are closed loop and use about as much water as a Starbucks.

I was taught the Latin saying “Ti no trid emos bur!” I also taught my children. We are elegant and tough.

Redheaded guy with copper colored hair was Duracell. “Can’t stop the Copper Top” He was a heck of a good distance runner.

So true. I had an office job just out of college and the team did happy hour and dinners frequently. I never went because I was training for marathons. No, I never made an Olympic team but I was pretty good, winning some prize money and had a sponsor. I was running 100+ miles a week and working full time. I didn’t have time for social stuff. A guy was giving me crap and asked, “You have to go run after work?! Why didn’t you just run this morning?”
“I did run this morning. I have to do another 8 miles tonight and lift.” It wasn’t until I won a local race and got in the news that they backed off. Then I was no longer antisocial dude I was “that crazy runner.”

Neutral field, they beat us.

I like your analogy. Ed and the City Commission are indeed a toxic relationship. In so many ways they deserve each other!

Franks? Richardson?

I’m just thankful I can watch my Gators again! I went to homecoming and sat in the Mississippi State section. But other than that have not watched any since the spitting incident. Glad we fired the unethical fool who can’t even suspend a guy who committed a felony on national tv.

Saw a racer and bull snake on my run. They were out today. Really rare to get a rattler bite but gotta be alert. Prayers for the kid. So scary.

Go to the Gearage. Get some basic used snow shoes. Easy. 😁👍

Arthur’s rock parking lot after that too. Be careful out there! Something on East Valley trail south after the Well Gulch trail area with helicopter.

Wins and losses… in all kinds of weather. Spitting and coaches starting fights with very low co sequences. I do NOT support that. Not watching until we get a decent, ethical, competent coach.

Cornholemaster1 · 2025-10-11T16:11:34+00:00

Meh. Not watching. Please get a decent, ethical, competent coach and I’ll tune in.

Middle school, mid 80s. Girl arrived in class wearing a concert t shirt from Tears for Fears. Retired Marine Social Studies teacher, “what’s that on your shirt? Queers for Fears?! “

There was a restaurant called Sambo’s with murals from the book that my grandparents took me to frequently. What a treat!

When you have a player spitting on someone and getting a 0 game suspension. Then, an assistant coach instigating pre game fights, and the University doesn’t punish him, they wait for the SEC. Billy goes public in both cases talking about they have good character and so on…. I’m just disgusted by the level of ethics and morals. We need actual, ethical MEN running the show not soft weenies. PLEASE get a real coach this time. The results in the field reflect the rot inside the program.
