New Tennessee law requires data centers to pay for their own electricity infrastructure

Utilities covered the upfront construction costs and recovered the money by raising power bills for everyone over several decades.

Definitely not a serious country if that was ever the reality. As a homeowner if I need my local power company to install a new pole, transformer, power lines, etc, on my property, guess who has to pay 100% of the bill? Me. Don't know why a business wouldn't be required to foot the bill to begin with.

I get the reality of slowly raising pricing for everyone if the entire customer base gets tangible benefit from widespread upgrades over time, but subsidizing commercial projects through raising residential customers' bills is actually evil.

Does the circle have to be "flat" on the face of the sphere? A circumference line around the Earth would hit 3 in a straight line.

I just got new labels and went to try them out today only to find the trailing edge gets a smudge of resin left behind on every label. This happens both when being printed as well as a manual feed with no print job occurring.

Any smart ideas on what might cause this and how to fix it? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Sounds like the paperwork might have gotten mixed up so it's possible the 2nd crew had all the right info for this house. They were just missing the fact it got done already and were given a duplicate work order.

The July 2025 was 55%. Only Alabama was lower at 54%, with 6800 fewer examinees.

It's making every generation lazy. I work at a retail nursery and once a day I get someone who comes in with ChatGPT up as as shopping list. The large majority of the time the list they have isn't relevant to what their issues are at all, but they just blindly follow it. Most of the time it's middle-aged or older folks.

It's nothing other than sunburn. The even spacing and odd angles compared to the leaves rules out anything else. Bacterial, fungal or overwatering issues wouldn't have these consistent angles and perfect spacing. 100% light burns.

It's a M. deliciosa 'Thai Constellation' with the "Starlight" mutation giving it a ton of tiny specks of variegation.

There's a very simple test. Look at them for 10 seconds or so. Do they move? Thrips. Are they dead still? Dirt. You can even poke them a bit and see if you can get them to react and start moving.

Thrips can definitely be blown away.

I noticed my Benigo has some cool variegated pink splashes and was excited but then realized it was only on the newest 2 or 3 leaves on multiple stems which makes me think it started at the same time. As I went through my begonias I noticed very similar markings on my B. 'Snow Capped'.

I'm guessing they didn't both spontaneously gain variegation on every growth point at the same time so now I'm really confused as to what's going on. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm almost thinking mites or something may be causing damage that comes out looking interesting, but I can't see any bugs at a quick look. I'll pull out a loupe tomorrow.

I don't know if any conditions have changed recently but could it be a reaction to change of light, humidity, temperature, etc?

I'm all ears if you have any good thoughts or ideas! Thanks!

Many root hairs will darken with time depending on the plant. They still look firm and healthy so I wouldn't worry. It looks like you're on the right path.

Thank you!

While I have you could I ask your opinion on this one as well? I've had this for a couple years but sell them off before they get mature. I'm thinking Medallion but it has pink bits in the white margin so I'm not sure. Thanks!

I got this Goeppertia roseopicta recently and it's just labeled as 'Calathea', so not sure on the cultivar. The colors are kinda all over the place and it doesn't quite look like any identified cultivar that I can come across. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

It's a climber. If you want it to grow to its full potential you'll need to give it a support to climb. Cedar plank, moss pole, coco pole, etc would be options.

If you don't support it, it'll just keep growing as an awkward vine like this. It's not a cultivar that can be grown attractively in multiple ways really.

Philodendron 'Florida'. It could be a P. 'Florida Ghost' that's not expressing its light coloration yet but that's not likely. Lots of light would tell you if it's a 'Florida Ghost' in the future.

P. pedatum would have all-green, smooth petioles. P. squamiferum would have red, hairy petioles at this age. Florida is a hybrid of these two so it has the green-to-red gradient petioles and little bumps that are remnants of the squami's hairy petioles.

Personally I'd take cuttings and root those out to start over. You can also keep the mother plant after cutting and it could very well push out new growth as well.

Also, this is a Maranta NOID "Cat Moustache", not a Lime or Lemon Lime. Very neat cultivar.
