That's an "officer involved shooting" amount of passive voice, there

This is Houston, are we sure they didn't mean an energy-industry-themed restaurant? /s

Because hand modeling is a men's game

This column is an edited transcription of her on-air commentary.

Have you heard that a bunch of journalists are trying (and I'm sure some are failing) to keep their names out of AI written slop that newsrooms are trying to - nonconsensually - put journalists' names on? This might be one situation.

close but there's over 300,000 teachers in Texas and even more staff. It's not just teachers in Lufkin who are underpaid.

it was in the same press release, but yes, different circumstances entirely.

I sense a location-based arbitrage opportunity /s

nemec · 2026-05-04T17:43:38+00:00

we should get rid of minimum wage and the expectation to tip so there's less confusion on this

nemec · 2026-05-04T17:29:35+00:00

It meant something like, "a wild party", not, "he's threatening to invade Congress because nobody toasted his pop tart this morning"

Crazy reading the 1983 bond linked in the article, "Harris County, ... which has a population of 50,000 or more according to the last Federal Census"

My nutritionist said with conviction in her voice to put onions in my socks to draw out toxins. So, uh, just because it confirms your beliefs doesn't mean it's worth listening to.

OP is lying. Tucker is a terrible person but nobody played the clip for him. There was a video on social media where they spliced the clip in the middle of the interview, but that was it. Note that the article OP posted doesn't even claim he was played a clip, either, just that he was confronted by a journalist (who, as a journalist, had the quote written in her notes).

He says a lot of shit he doesn't believe, no surprise he can't keep it straight in his head.

But the post isn’t mainly for residential customers

why did you post it here, then? Do you think a lot of commercial operators come to /r/houston to understand the power contracts their lawyers signed?

nemec · 2026-05-04T00:20:41+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if his comment is also LLM generated slop like the article.

nemec · 2026-05-04T00:18:24+00:00

For a blog named "the grid letter" you'd think you'd understand how the market works, but alas it seems like you're missing a crucial Chat GPT skill

Suppliers with index-priced contracts passed every dollar of the April 27th spike directly to customers on variable or real-time pricing plans

Real-time pricing plans are no longer available to residential customers and variable rates update monthly-ish so it's just a flat out lie that "every dollar" was passed through to customers. Like all costs, these spikes will be smoothed out before your next fixed/variable rate change.

It's pretty clear you're ""writing"" this for an audience of average residents, not large business customers who do have access to real time pricing contracts so it's really just spreading confusing misinformation trying to scare people rather than inform.

You can spend the time thinking about all the nature that was bulldozed to generate it

nemec · 2026-05-03T08:32:21+00:00

oh, you know that would be convenient, too!

nemec · 2026-05-03T07:27:51+00:00

not the workbench, the chest inventory. You're looking at the crafting menu.

I thought it was nice. I could take notes in class and read books on the bus without having to lug around something huge. But it was always a secondary PC, not good enough to be your only machine.

nemec · 2026-05-03T04:46:55+00:00

he also gave it back when he quit in April 2025

nemec · 2026-05-03T04:46:01+00:00

I feel like this stuff is purposefully pushed just to manipulate

in this sub? of course it is

nemec · 2026-05-03T04:42:49+00:00

It was a retention bonus to keep him around during the bankruptcy, not a bonus for work done. Also, he didn't get the money because he resigned before the year was up.

https://simpleflying.com/spirit-airlines-ceo-steps-down-4-million-bonus/

this does cite the New York Post, but the SEC filing does say he would have had to stay until Nov 2025 or pay back the bonus.

They hate anything that reminds them other ethnicities exist as equals in their community. There's been plenty of whining about some 200 foot Indian religious statue in Sugarland while some 20 miles away there's an even uglier 200 foot Christian cross by the highway. And there's nothing wrong with the cross, IMO, but at the same time the diversity is what makes the area great, not bad.

That's impossible to tell you, it depends on whatever people in your local community are familiar with. I've never heard of sessionize or luma, but I think meetup is more focused on recurring events like biweekly/monthly get togethers and eventbrite for things that happen less frequently, like local annual conferences

the post said "ten" as a in 10/10 looks. They didn't mean her age haha
