LMPs can be modeled as DC circuit voltages. In new work with @gjharsha , we show that price behavior can be interpreted and modeled using DC circuits, meaning you don't have to understand Lagrangian duality to understand LMPs - you just have to remember high school physics. 🧵

This is so heart breaking. I’m at a new McDonalds in Franklin, TN and look at their ā€œplay placeā€ for children. Two screens/two chairs. 😭😭😭

Lots of wrong answers in the replies. As the former King of SMS, it’s simple: It’s to warm the number. You cannot send bulk texts containing a URL until your number has earned credibility with phone carriers. To earn credibility, it needs to have replies from other numbers.

It happened again this morning, and it’s sadly becoming a joke at this point. I walked into Starbucks, and the shelf that just a couple of days ago was full of holiday merchandise for the new season was completely empty. Again. When I asked the barista, they confirmed it:

To be obnoxious I’m now only describing the power ratings of common household appliances in terms of horsepower rather than Watts (1 HP = 746 Watts) My frozen burrito requires 2 minutes when used with a 1.48 HP microwave
