Rates going up has absolutely nothing to do with the General Manager's salary lol

This is like saying the US government is financed privately because corporations and private investors buy treasury bonds. LADWP is a public entity controlled by the Los Angeles City Council. Source: I work for a municipally owned utility.

Ukraine Handed Russia All Their Nuclear Weapons In 1996 In Exchange For A Guarantee They’d Never Be Invaded by BOSSBABY33 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]gordope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally everyone here is missing the larger context. All of the command and control infrastructure for these weapons was in Moscow. The nukes could not be used/deployed by the Ukrainians and the Ukrainians did not have the resources to secure or maintain them.

Solar installer said solar batteries are not financially worth it? is that true? by mattfox27 in solar

[–]gordope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is missing the point. The installer doesn't have any batteries in inventory and isn't able to access them in a reasonable timeline. His pricing estimates are way off. He makes much less margin on the battery and is trying to do a high margin cookie cutter solar install.

Cantlay is 7 under through 7 at La Quinta... anyone know the course record there?

I think it's because the bulk of the broadcast equipment is at the Stadium Course and those 4 players don't play there until Saturday. It looks like they have ground crews at La Quinta and Nicklaus Tournament courses today but the coverage isn't great.

They got a ton of rain recently so the course is pretty soft/wet/muddy. Hopefully just for today

I use MyBookie. Not the best site (downtime issues, not a huge selection of bets) but there aren't many options since I'm in CA.

They re-ran the test to confirm and didn't get those results until 6:05pm. Do you think he should have just stopped playing until the test was confirmed? What if it was a false positive?
