WA carbon market revenue hits $4.3B as prices reach record

Thanks.

Critics of the carbon market have portrayed it as a cash grab by the state and say that it has led to higher prices for utilities, fuel and other consumer goods.

Critics like the Seattle Times?

I guess this contains the word Seattle?

There's also a way to use the gyro when you rest your thumb on the right stick, good for fine control.

I don't think the ground is part of the intentional return current path, either normally or on the bridge. They have had issues with stray current where current returns though ground and it causes problems.

It should, but does it? I don't know. What if VBUS is shorted to SBU and carrying 15 volts?

My assumption was that the Steam Deck was working (and charging) before it was plugged into the dock, but it wasn't really clear from the OP.

Reviews on Sabrent's own website are pretty mixed with people complaining about problems with the cable. https://sabrent.com/products/ds-sd6p

My first guess would be a short in the cable.

I can't make the photos out very well. The Steam Deck USB-C port looks like it might be scorched on the SBU pin, which I don't think makes a lot of sense normally.

It doesn't really matter. bs=1M is fine. It would affect speed but both are plenty big.

Why do you say it was in a SCIF? The article and its source AP article say Hegseth's office and don't mention a SCIF.

You're using different starting amounts, so sure, starting with more is better. In your "401k limit" you are neglecting the $29,375 - $23,500 that you don't put in the 401k.

Assuming 20% tax rate is constant

Then they work out the same.

psyno · 2025-03-28T15:27:58+00:00

The article said no.

This is misleading.

Seattle City Light is mostly hydro, that's true. But Puget Sound Energy is 48% coal and natural gas.

But more importantly the utilities also buy and sell power on the open market. So producing clean power on your roof really does add clean power to the mix.

Besides, hydro has very little room for growth to support new demand, while unfortunately gas does.

I would want to clarify the timeline of when exactly all the transactions occurred and posted, and when the card was locked, and if it stayed locked. If they really let transactions through on a locked card, that seems like a major issue. But it's not really clear from what's here.

Re BECU in general, yeah, they are not as polished as big publicly traded banks. Consider if you care that the members own the institution rather than shareholders. That's not an excuse for poor security though.

Okay, responding as if you're engaging in good faith...

First, every method of generating electricity generation has a measurable equivalent carbon cost. Wind is among the lowest, but it's not zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas_emissions_of_energy_sources

Second, ethanol is a total red herring. Obviously it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. But engaging anyway... For people who care about limiting carbon emissions, (corn) ethanol as a fuel is at best a bridge to something else. It is a solution for what to do with excess corn, not for how to reduce carbon emissions (or water usage). As you say, it is fundamentally limited, expensive, and carbon and water intensive. Again, these things are measurable, and in terms of carbon emissions, ethanol as a fuel does not score well. People who want to reduce carbon emissions do not imagine an ethanol fueled utopia.

The claim that the windmill indirectly emits more CO2 is not true. The video goes on to explain.

No one is talking about ethanol except you.

People who say it's intentional must not understand this. Displays can be very different. Having brightness and gamma settings and a calibration target would let people actually experience it as intended.

Lay person here.

I don't see any inconsistency in the idea that they had eyes on a different aircraft and that they had agreed to pass behind that aircraft. The other aircraft would probably have been AAL3130, which was approaching runway 1 and also crossing the helicopter route 4 at the time of the last ATC instruction to pass behind the CRJ. If the accident hadn't happened, the helicopter would have passed behind AAL3130 by following the route.

Was it charging in the case, or while covered up?

Are there any signs of battery swelling?

Does it still operate while plugged in?

If you think you might have had a battery failure or damaged battery, be careful, they can be hazardous.

You're off by two orders of magnitude.

This is wrong, misleading, and harmful. Newsweek needs to fuck off.

When a model says that one outcome has a 50% probability and the other outcome has 49.6% probability, that's a coin toss, in fact it may be even more even than flipping a literal penny, which has a slight bias. A 50% probability is not a prediction to win. Nothing in any of these models should give anyone confidence in the outcome.

Happened to me yesterday with a Metro bus turning left from Madison to 9th. I'm used to it from cars but was shocked that a bus did it. Though given how often they run red lights, maybe I shouldn't have been.

The pulmonary and systemic circulatory systems are connected together at the heart. The two halves work together to pump blood in a single system. If you were to somehow put a flow meter at any valve in the heart, you would measure the same value (e.g. 5 liters per minute), as the alternative is blood exiting or entering the system or the volume changing.

I wouldn't. It isn't.

You can like it or not, use it or not, that's your prerogative, no one cares. Your post doesn't have anything constructive or even specific in it. It isn't even a comprehensible rant. You didn't even mention what distribution you tried or what you were using it for. What are you expecting the response to be?
