The History Of Black Santa And Why Representation Matters
Black Santa’s image began as a racist caricature but was later reclaimed and, by the 1950s–60s, transformed into a symbol of pride and civil rights. Here’s a look at his powerful history.

Today is my birthday, and if you'd like to celebrate with me, perhaps you will consider buying one of my books? Physical copy, e-book, audiobook-- most of 'em available in your preferred format from your usual online retailer or indie bookstore. All I want for my birthday is to keep writing books.
This is a collage of 9 of Delilah' books. She has about 32 of them, though, if you don't see what you're looking for. Some even feature VAMPIRE NIPPLES.

The most CRITICAL fact one needs to know about the local politics in my region is that THE GULLS RUN THIS PORT CITY and OWN at least 6 of the LOCAL MCDONALD's FRANCHISES because they LOVE the famous chain's FRIES and MILKSHAKEs. Also, they are OF COURSE EXTREMELY CORRUPT as one might presume.
A gull loudly squawking in the foreground, its standing at the edge of the of a concrete ledge that leads out to the water. There is a quiet Gull standing in the near background, focused, intensely gazing towards photographer, and you can see several gulls in the water bobbing up and down and enjoying their reign.

ERCOT's IMM put out a memo on AS procurement methodology this week, which also contains a nice little breakdown on pieces of ERCOT's post-Uri "Conservative Operations" 🔌💡 www.ercot.com/files/docs/2...
This figure shows that the level of total ECRS and NSRS needed to meet the one-in-ten (0.1
probability) reliability standard would average roughly 3.6 GW. In contrast, ERCOT’s proposal
would procure 8.3 GW of reserves, more than 3 GW of which would have no reliability value.Conservative Operations refers to the set of
policies and practices oriented around maintaining a larger operating reserve margin than what
was standard practice in ERCOT before Winter Storm Uri to avoid going into a Watch and
exceeding the required reserve levels of all other ISO in the US, as shown in Figure 1 in the
Figures and Tables section at the end of these comments. It is implausible that this operating
posture would have prevented the issues experienced during Winter Storm Uri. Further, several
resilience mechanisms have been implemented since Winter Storm Uri, outside of the wholesale
market, that will significantly reduce the impact of similar future winter storms. We classify the
following input parameters to the proposed AS Methodology as part of the Conservative
Operations paradigm:
• Setting operating reserve targets to achieve a one-in-ten standard for the probability of
entering a “Watch,” nominally defined as dropping below 3,000 MW, rather than the
probability of firm load shed, which is defined as reserves dropping below 1,500 MW.
This parameter increases the target level of the AS Plan by approximately 43%.
• Assessing the operational risk that NSRS is meant to manage based on the six hourahead forecast error for demand and generation from intermittent renewables. This
parameter increases the target level of the AS Plan by approximately 57% compared to
our recommendation of using a one hour-ahead forecast error.
• Accrediting the available headroom of ESRs according to the power output they can
sustain for four hours, rather than our recommendation of one hour. This parameter
increases the target level of the AS Plan by approximately 29%.
• Severely discounting the capacity of headroom in the system capable of providing
operating reserves in the event of a contingency or forecast error that results in a
reduction of reserves. Prior to Winter Storm Uri, ERCOT had a policy of issuing a voluntary conservation notice
referred to as a Watch whenever operating reserves dropped below 3,000 MW. Such events

were relatively commonplace, with an average of 82 hours per year with PRC below 3,000 MW
for 2016-2020, as shown in Figure 3. The aftermath of Winter Storm Uri shone a spotlight on
the reliability of the ERCOT grid and, given the recent legislative session and a gubernatorial
election around the corner, it was decided that avoiding Watch conditions was of paramount
importance. Thus, Conservative Operations was born, the primary feature of which was to run
the system with a high level of operating reserves, whether procured through RUC or through the
AS Methodology, as discussed in more detail in the following section.bar charts showing that On average, ERCOT procures 153% more 10- and 30-minute reserves than other ISOs.

Types of Knives

Paring knife Small knife perfect for chopping veggies or hiding in a coat sleeve for self-defense.
Carving knife Gives a smooth, clean cut. Good for taping to a bunch of Roombas so you can watch them fight to the death.
Steak knife All-purpose table knife. Try holding a few between your fingers and yelling,
"I AM WOLVERINE" until your waiter asks you to stop.
Fish filleting knife Good for cutting fish. Bad for trying to juggle in your kitchen to impress a date.
Boning knife THROW ONE OF THESE AT A DARTBOARD IT WILL BE COOL!
Soup knife Used for cutting soup. Haha nah jk soup is a liquid! I'm just goofing - this is for bread.
Switchblade These are illegal. If you use one of these to slice a ham then I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE HAM POLICE (seriously, don't do it).
Stone Dagger Used for performing forbidden rituals in the woods at midnight.
Cutlass This is technically a sword, but you can use one to put mayo on a sandwich or whatever.
