I would probably still just buy without the incentives myself. But it’s good to know there are lower up front cost options too.

The PPAs can be transferred

(And the second option is not a lease, but it is also not a purchase)

Ah, I see. Could be. I’m not sure why it necessarily turns out bad for the household, but I’m also not the expert on this and perhaps you are.

I do not see anything indicating that’s what AES is offering—but maybe you are seeing something else.

It’s so great. Put July 1 on your calendar for seeing it at Grandview celebrating my birthday

(He lived in the Pacific Northwest for a time as well.)

I believe he was in Atlanta, though I’m not positive. (Asking the resource.)

I believe it was in Atlanta, at least that seems to be where he was when he got this patent (scroll down):

I haven’t confirmed but it seems likely that he’s the author of this:

A photo of an older fellow holding a violin. He has, I believe, a spectacular white mustache. The writing on the photo says 1927. There are signs about requiring cash, etc.

May I introduce you to my (I think) great-great-uncle Alfred Merrill, here pictured in his violin shop? (He made them.) (As well as, unless it’s just something weird with the photo, a spectacular mustache.)

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.

(It’s All Energy Solar and it would be a referral link so I’d get some money. I’d buy you lunch with some of the money. They’re good folks.)

I got an email from our solar folks saying that they’ve worked out some sort of commercial tax credit that makes it so new installations can get close to as good a deal as they could with the old federal tax credit. If you’re local and interested in solar, lmk and I’ll send you a link.

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

(Your weather may vary.)

I’ve seen him three times now and I think all three would be in an entirely hypothetical top ten lifetime concert list.

Oh no! I saw him for the first time last year and it was a *blast*

I assume that author also reposted pleas for support for public radio on their LinkedIn page?

Hi Bill, Your post about the KUT & KUTX Membership Drive stood out to me. It’s great to see how you’re encouraging businesses to support local media with such enthusiasm and energy! From what I’ve seen so far, there’s a lot of substance in how you explain things. It reminds me of an author we worked with who had strong ideas but no clear structure. Once we helped shape the book and clarify the message, it became a real credibility and revenue driver—and readers reached out to say the book changed how they think and act. You can see similar author stories and testimonials on our website here: https://www.simon-golden.com/. I’ve been thinking about how your content could do the same. Simon J.

Simon J. Golden, Ph.D., is now excited about my KUT/X post. From that repost, which contains zero words I wrote, he somehow infers that "there’s a lot of substance in how you explain things" and that it reminds him of "an author we worked with who had strong ideas but no clear structure."

I'm pretty happy with the Palace as long as I'm either fairly close down in the balcony or well in front of the balcony overhang on the floor. But it can be tough

For the second consecutive year, one of the best classes of the semester is thanks to @safeandsilent.bsky.social visiting and talking about accessibility and human factors issues in the amusement industry.

Final Destination, but with ever more elaborate gender reveals

Yeah, I remember dealing with them where I worked once in high school, and nobody seemed concerned. I don’t know if rabies is more prevalent in them now or if we just are more (appropriately! Rabies is bad!) cautious.

I think it’s because all the good architects hate him and probably all the mediocre ones. Related to why his hair and makeup look like they do?

Tiffany’s entrance?

That’s super cool

Could be! Though I’m doing some like-for-like comparisons here. First Ave is better; I’m told Target Center is better. The tech is just better than it was but not all venues necessarily use it well

I didn’t hear that! I was kinda assuming there’d be one

Honestly, just the thing where I can plug a microphone into my receiver, run a 3-minute thing where it makes test tones from each speaker/sub, and it just sounds *great* is all pretty amazing
