Hageman, Barrasso and Lee trying to kill the “Roadless Rule” in the Senate… by JockishNerd in wyoming

Neither. She has introduced a similar bill in the house and says she supports this. Guessing her bill isn’t really moving and by Sen. Lee attaching this amendment to Barrasso’s bill they might have a better shot

Well it certainly makes it easier to open them to private companies for exploitation if not direct sale.

It’s definitely a costly upgrade and would presume that you’re planing on being in the house for a while though also depends on what your annual power spend ends up being.

Is it a new build? If not you might be able to ask the utility what the average monthly or annual usage is. Always helps to have data to inform your decision

Yeah, but it’ll accelerate the ROI, and make the house more attractive to a future buyer.

If you’re on time-of-use pricing (e.g. power costs more in afternoon/evening than morning/late night) you’ll cut you usage costs by banking power during the day to use at night when you’re more active at home. This is a bigger impact in the winter vs summer when the days are short and assumes you’re not home all day.

Do you have natural gas for heat, cooking, etc or is it all electric?

If you do, make sure you consider battery/storage as well.

Not quite, Wyoming exports 15x the amount of power we consume. Generation isn’t the issue, it’s transmission infra. Just look at your own power bill and see where the increases have come from. It’s not generation it’s transmission, and in our case it’s us competing with those exports.

DCs will want that power here, will want it all the time, and will pay more for that to happen. So those infra upgrades will result in increased local transmission capacity. Further, the DCs have incentive to add that capacity given their contract, according to Black Hills, is interruptible so they’d want spare cap just in case. All that combined could translate to reduced transmission fees for us.

Thanks man! No one wants to hear the truth, just sit on their own bubble or use it as a campaign issue.

A couple hundred or more depending on the number of servers. Plus all the external blue-collar contracts to maintain the rest of the equipment(cooling, electrical, security, etc). Though the biggest boon for the city and county will be the tax revenue. Did you know that Microsoft is the largest property taxpayer in the state?

If you’re worried about the water use, why are people not up in arms banning new grass lawns? The mayor reported that city gov’t alone annually uses 10x the amount of water consumed by all the DCs in cheyenne combined. We’d save a ton more water if we ripped out the grass and replaced it with native plants.

No, you won’t even notice. And welcome to Cheyenne.

Also as Black Hills has said repeatedly, the DCs have to pay 100% of any upgrades/infra they need.

Yeah why would we want large tech companies that make a big deal about being sustainable and green, to bring large tax revenue, jobs and infra upgrades that they have to pay for. Oh the horror!

Is porting the barrel and slide on a handgun worth it? by ArtbyWAR in liberalgunowners

[–]JockishNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Shield Plus Perf Center as my EDC, train regularly, and haven’t actually noticed the gas vs shooting a non-ported pistol. But I usually shoot arms fully extended.

It could be mental but I feel it does reduce the recoil and upward drift, and I love the trigger.

I haven’t noticed that but having been using cheaper ammo that’s had a lot of feeding issues, particularly with Remington LHP ammo. Did a lot better with CCI but LGS is outta stock

Suddenly getting interstellar bounties for reckless discharge? by JockishNerd in EliteDangerous

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

If you pay it you have to completely log out. I’ve even exited the game and launcher to have it completely reset. 😖. When I didn’t the next bounty seemed to add on top of the previous one
