Same! We utilize some wall hooks and floor stands for active use, and some rafter hooks for seasonal storage.

Congrats Patrick! Will it fit n+1 bikes?!

I hear ya. My 98 y/o 750sq ft basement will run above 70% in summer without a dehumidifier. Even so, I feel like the dehumidifier barely holds the line running on high.

Surge staffing and run reliability checks on each step in the process.

My residential project got stuck for a month due to an issue with the online portal where developers register interconnection applications for review / approval. Most of the delays seem like unforced errors.

Same. A month and counting waiting for Xcel to review the initial signature step in the application process.

As a meteorologist working on an event-based service for outdoor gatherings like weddings, I share your perspective. Do you think your brother would be willing to chat with me briefly? If so, send a DM!

Confirmed!

Totally, I was going to add that this should help provide soil moisture ahead of the hottest days of summer in the coming weeks.

Ridge rider! Great setup for storms this week.

Agreed, our use of annual exceedance probability at @twodegreesadapt.com has been well received. I’d like to see more visual representations of AEP flood depths on the landscape (e.g. signs, markers) to communicate risk

This is a good call Patrick and @deveric.net. I admire you all prioritizing joyful rider wellness

FWIW, I don’t read Suzuki as suggesting we give up on decarbonization. To me, it’s a more nuanced take on the political, legal, and economic systems that the world is built around (not protecting natural systems).

Disappointing but not surprising that the headline buries the nuance.
