Sunspot region 3664 goes away with a bang!
As the super-active sunspot region 3664 rotated away to the backside of the Sun, it lobbed 3 more X-Class flares today.
X1.7 - 02:09 UTC
X1.2 - 12:55 UTC
X8.7 - 16:51 UTC, the strongest one of this cycle.
An X8 flare is 8 times more powerful than an X1 and so on.
In modern times, the largest solar flare occurred on 4 Nov 2003 at X45.
The 1859 Carrington Event was estimated at X50.

ERCOT is a good example of why anecdotes can't be used to base policy on.
In a non-regulated market in which producers may use renewable and non-renewable sources to produce electricity.
Dynamic pricing increases investment in renewables if, under static pricing, producers mix both sources; and reduces investment if, under static pricing, producers only use renewables. In both cases, dynamic pricing improves welfare as consumers and producers become better off.

I know it’s enraging to see propag- I mean press outlets like the New York Times disingenuously frame Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation into yet another “Israelis are the real victims here” narrative but this *is* the same publication that put Bari Weiss & David Brooks on.
In that context, this isn’t surprising. This is just the New York Times reminding us of the agenda they unapologetically push and will not relent until everyone they’ve slandered is dead.
It seems inevitable that someone at the New York Times will release a book that contains crucial information about how dishonest, corrupt, and bloodthirsty certain Israeli officials are having sat on that information for a number of years.
I call it “pulling a Maggie Haberman.”
Russia’s central bank has raised the basic interest rate to 13 percent to prevent Russians from lending money in order to lower their purchasing power to combat inflation.
Imagine what this does to a society when people cannot afford to buy a home or renovate an existing one, get a car loan, and companies cannot expand, farmers cannot build a new barn, and so on.
In the long run this will of course affect employment, innovation, tax revenue, everything.
It is downhill from here.
