Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

So there's a political/economic Fantasy book series written by one of the authors of The Expanse and I had to find that shit by accident because NO ONE TOLD ME.

Through 11 matches, the Premier League's most unplayable attacker this season is this guy, and it's not actually that close.

Yes, it helps to play with Haaland, but Doku is 1.5 times more dangerous with the ball around the box than anyone else in the league this season.

"What do you think of Brentford's Igor Thiago?"

Well, I had zero clue what to think after a full-season injury layoff coming into the league and now... seems fine?

It's okay not to have strong opinions on players!

This week's Variance Betting column will be out in a couple of hours. I was supposed to be on holiday this week, but we're making it work.

The PL card in particular is surprisingly aggressive, so sign up and enjoy the best gambling analysis on the Internet.
Ended +3.5 last night, +5 on the week.

Up about 200K on these leagues so far this season (over 100% on the bankroll), and creating some VERY happy Variance Betting subscribers.

[Past results are no guarantee of future results. Example: This is better than last season!]
Tonight's Variance Betting has 6 bets on Champions League and 2 on the EFL Championship.

+18.5u so far this season!

Agreed to get back on the @thetransferflow.bsky.social podcast this week only because we talked about a team that is NOT top of the Azerbaijan Premier League (among other UCL participants):

Contrary to @kimischilling.bsky.social 's claim in the newsletter today: I don't actually gamble in Vegas.

I only play things with edge!

(+2 in the PL this weekend, -.5 in the Champ. Approaching +200k on the season, which is wild.)

My last thing on the Chat GPT coaching thing is that I made a twitter account where I’d ask chat gpt to write threads on some tactical concept and post them with pictures of chess boards, and within 2 weeks it had followers from 10+ PL and MLS Clubs. Coach brain is so susceptible to grift.
