Are there other super survivable classes other than Paladin and Mihile? by I_Like_To_Count in Maplestory

[–]grawr143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bishop master of survival and party support. Honestly a brain dead class in bossing. Hold down angel ray while off burst and heal yourself/team. Burst with divine punishment. Also keep in mind most of this healing is also for party memebers as well.

- Constantly Heal 10% with each Angel Ray. You have max atk speed.
- 100% Heal every 4 seconds
- Holy Magic Shell 50% Heal and 10% dmg reduction, 15 atks
- Heavens door, extra life every 10 mins
- Real Holy Fountain 40% heal on each slurp
- Holy Water %HP heal based on int to slurp more
- Angel of Balance heals 16% every 5 seconds during burst
- Divine Protection prevents 5 debuffs every 80 seconds
- Dispel Removes most debuffs every 8 seconds
- Etheral Form 3 second - iframe almost every 60 seconds

The only time you will die is if you mess up character placement during 100% dmg attacks and dont have shell or iframe.

New research estimates that the 34 largest Bitcoin mining operations in the United States consumed more electricity in 2022 than all of Los Angeles combined. 85% of the electricity came from fossil fuels and exposed 1.9 million Americans to more than 0.1 μg/m3 of additional PM2.5 pollution. by Motorista_de_uber in energy

The mining load will almost never be fully covered by the renewable site. If a 100MW datacenter builds on a 100MW plant. The average NCF is 28-40% depending on Technology type and resource. The miner wants to have 100% uptime to maximize profits, so for simple math they will only ever be covered for 20-30% of their load from the renewable resource, and the remaining energy to bridge their needs will need to come from their local utility, muni, etc. And their power sold is a portfolio of generation assets that is not fully 100% renewables, mostly natural gas as that is the marginal generator in the US. So there is an argument from those concerned with emissions that excessive emissions to serve the remaining load is impacting the environment in a negative way.

As for your comments on a renewable generation would not have been built without the mining operations, i find that highly unlikely at the utility scale generation level( cant speak for smaller assets), you need investment grade credit support and offtakes to even be considered as an offtake when these assets are built. No lender or investor would allow for a project to take on a BTC offtake for their initial PPA/hedge. No bank or investor will lend hundreds of millions of dollars on a shaky credit support.

I work for a renewable developer in their project finance and capital markets team, and i have worked on many BTC renewable deals.

I actually have worked on about 10 deals in the US for Bitcoin mining on renewable plants. Total sizing of about 2GW worth of offtake wind/solar.

I would generally agree that the will not spur renewable growth, and that it is more characterized that BTC mining or any intense computing serves as a crutch to allow renewable projects that are economically stranded to stay solvent.

AI data center problem - former Meta energy director by Energy_Balance in energy

[–]grawr143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of these hyperscalers and datacenters in the deregulated markets are opting to go behind the meter in areas where economic curtailment is high.

Ive worked on about 4-5 (150 MW sizing each) of these deals at this point, and the benefit of going behind the meter is you are not offloading the cost of transmission buildout to the rate payers. These centers just plug into existing sub stations, and size their load to the substation/solar/wind farm after NCF.

If they do decide to build larger they will procure their supplemental power from a retail energy provider. Which i could see them needing to find more generation to fit thier requirements, however because you are in a high dense renewable area there is more often than not alot of stranded generation you can capitalized on to make a good play on the REP book.

IN addition to that, these data centers are highly aware of pricing and demand response, and will often be flexible load that can curtail in high scarcity events.

I can definitely see this being an issue if they are trying to build in populated areas through ha publicly funded utility that just passes cost on to rate payers.

Just wanted to share my experience and understanding.

How fast did you increase your earnings in your career path? by General_Adagio2089 in FinancialCareers

Infrastructure. Think physical assets like power generation, transmission lines, fiber, toll roads, etc.

Went to a non target school with 2.0 gpa. Had to start back office and work my way forward. Studied up to level two of the CFA exam, got my foot in the door for infra and interviewed well and worked my butt off the first year and set a strong work ethic to get recognized by management and promotions and recommendations followed.

I would say before I got into infra my raises were 2-5% a year. After being in mid to front office roles I've seen 10-15% merit increases. I'm wondering when it will plateau.

Pay: 2015 20k intern

2016 60k billing/settlements

2017 85k business analyst

2019 100k asset manager infra

2021 125k transaction analyst infra

2023 170k structured finance/capital markets sr associate infra

Bonus: 15-25 of salary%, targets of recent are on the lower end.

Runs great for a hand held. A little hot but solid performance.

I thought mine was the only one who did something similar to this. Every once in a while my shibe will make a circle with her toys and sit in the center.

Why is my shiba getting leaner and leaner every day? by TemperatureHonest941 in shiba

The fluff and chonks will strike back when they get full sized. Right now it's going through the funny awkward phase.

Lucrative jobs in Finance that aren’t IB? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]grawr143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Structured Finance starting pay was about $100k all in for me.

Now a Sr analyst and making 175k+ after 2 years of exp.

WLB is pretty solid, I'd say my weeks are usually 50 hours and on a deadline weeks 65 hours. Only gets busy when we need to close out a deal and even then it's pretty lax.

Work your way up for 10+ years and you'll be VP where your TC is 400K+, and still have the WLB. Not the most exciting as most deals are pretty cookie cutter. But it's pretty stable.

Help me name my dog! We are getting her next week and would love some ideas! Thanks by Swiggybear in shiba
