There are already quite a few rapid start gas peakers not only being produced but in-service. Nothing about Boom's stands out as being significantly different.

Now they are saying I should move based on what they see on Fox News. I'm dumbfounded; Don't you remember what it was like when you were here? It hasn't changed.
Part of it is a small town mentality, the big city is just dangerous. The rest of it is just being spoon fed clips of the same protest footage over and over and over again.
Yes, Portland has a homeless issue. It has had one since I moved here in 2013 (and probably before then). Covid made it worse but the issue is slowly getting better. But again, homelessness isn't what the President and Kristi Noem are talking about.

Have you seen a lot of phase-shifting transformers in the U.S.? In my experience they've mostly been in Europe with a few specialized applications in the States.
I would think a utility would want to reconductor the other circuits otherwise they're leaving benefits on the table right?
For reference the flight is usually a 6:45p arrival but was very late on the evening in question.
May I ask where you are located (generally)?
I want something with a clean, easy to read front end -- that's where WordPress has really struggled, good looking "blog" focused themes.
At 10:56:27, the PF disengaged the Autopilot System (AP) at an altitude of 721 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). The PF then called for “FLAPS 30” at 10:56:32, and the PM replied, “Flaps 30 and descending”. The flight data recorder (FDR) data did not record any flap surface movement at that time. Instead, the propeller rotation speed (Np) of both engines decreased simultaneously to less than 25%1 and the torque (Tq) started decreasing to 0%, which is consistent with both propellers going into the feathered condition. On the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) area microphone recording, a single Master Caution chime was recorded at 10:56:36. The flight crew then carried out the “Before Landing Checklist” before starting the left turn onto the base leg. During that time, the power lever angle increased from 41% to 44%. At the point, Np of both propellers were recorded as Non-Computed Data (NCD) in the FDR and the torque (Tq) of both engines were at 0%. When propellers are in feather, they are not producing thrust."
For reference here is a picture of the controls. The feathering is in the middle and full feather is a little bit higher than 30 degrees of flaps. The lever for the flaps can be seen on the far right.
"The aircraft quickly recovered, but not before descending below 775 feet. Two people familiar with the incident said the climb produced forces of nearly 2.7 times the force of gravity on the aircraft and its occupants as that steep descent transitioned to an 8,600 foot per minute climb. The entire incident appears to have stretched no more than 45 seconds and in between radio calls with air traffic controllers in Maui, according to LiveATC recordings reviewed by The Air Current"
Later on in the article it states that no mention of the incident was made to Air Traffic Control and the flight continued on as normal.

Recently had a homeless encampment constructed next to my house. It is not great but at the same time it's a strange social situation to be thrust into. The encampment started out fairly orderly and clean but over the past two weeks I've found needles, human feces and other trash on my property. I have a small child and more small children use the path where this homeless encampment is so I've taken it upon myself to keep it needle and feces free.
I've never considered spraying the people who live in the encampment or even yelling at them but I have asked if they need any services or if there is anyone they would like me to contact. Most of the time the response is "no thanks" or "I'm already talking to services". Sometimes I get asked for specific things, "I have a heater that runs off of alcohol or something and could use some more fuel". Sometimes it's as simple as asking for their water jugs to be refilled. I am happy to oblige those human needs requests but for the fuel I will typically offer blankets as an alternative.
Still, I am frustrated, mostly with the city and county that they have allowed this to happen. I don't fully know the answer but I know that what is happening now isn't it.
I tend to lean toward battery storage as being the piece that will tip the scale. As more efficient and longer lasting batteries come online, grid ops will become a bit easier and some of the DER capacity that would typically be shed could be stored for later needs.
