Shacknews LoL

Well we know they’re innately good at determining caws and effect

"We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy."

Work incident:
I work at a golf course. Concierge/Starter, minimum wage type gig.

I see an older gentleman with coke bottle glasses returning from a round of golf. I asked “how did you play?”
He responded: “Alright, though I lost about a box of yellow balls on the course”. Kinda odd, as the grass is really green and not many leaves out, but whatever

“You see, I’m legally bind, and I did not want to hold up the course” I’m feeling kinda bad , he has no partner

He then gets in his car and drives away. I’m still stunned

Murdered it

He’s a shacker, of course he didn’t say anything

What's on your agenda today? I just reached Neon for a particular story mission so I'll be working on those quests.

Have you ever found something funny online, thought "hey I should post this on the Shack!" and then realize you were reading it on the Shack?

Yeah, he should be limited to chips and putts only.

Texas paid a crypto mining company $31 million to not mine during peak energy usage times.

"August was a landmark month for Riot in showcasing the benefits of our unique power strategy,” Jason Les, CEO of Riot, said in a Wednesday release. Les said the company raked in $31.7 million in energy credits from the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the agency that runs the Texas power grid, by cutting its power use by more than 95 percent during periods of peak demand.

So they made record profits off the back of taxpayers, while regular citizens aren't paid to reduce their energy usage (nor do they get tax credits or anything else). This should be a bigger story.

Riot earned the credits through ERCOT's "demand response" programs, which offer payouts to high-power-use entities like bitcoin mining companies to cut usage during periods of peak demand. According to CNBC, ERCOT also relies on bitcoin miners like Riot to use more power during periods of excessive supply to stabilize energy prices.

Ah, I see.
