I have found sub-basements to rock bottom, and climbed my way back up. I have endured things that would have made some others give up. I have clawed my way back from the bottom time and again and not only will I continue to do so, I will lend you my hand to help pull you up with me. Never give up. Stay strong. You have it in you to best whatever life throws at you. BB

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

Right now, examples of hailstorms wrecking solar farms are rare enough that they’re still notable, like the one this year in southeast Texas, and one last year in western Nebraska. But what about in 20 years, when hailstorms are likely going to be more severe and solar will cover much more ground?

There is no perfect method for protecting solar panels from hail, but there are ways to reduce the risk.

“There’s actual mitigation that can be done,” said Renny Vandewege, vice president of weather operations for DTN, the Minnesota-based company whose subscription-based products include weather forecasting for use by energy companies.

“We’ve patented the ability to measure the occurrence in the size of hail within radar technology,” he said. “Scanning the storms, you get feedback that says that a storm is producing hail two inches in diameter, or whatever the scenario.”

This data is most useful if a solar array has equipment that can respond to an approaching storm by adjusting the panel angle to reduce damage.

Nearly all utility-scale projects being built today use trackers, which are systems that turn the panels during the day to follow the sun. Some of those trackers have the capability to go into “stow” mode, which means they quickly turn to avoid a direct hit.

“Will solar continue to get developed and built in hail regions? The answer is yes,” said Greg Beardsworth, senior director of product marketing at Nextracker. “The way that will happen is through a combination of understanding the magnitude of the risk based on location, selecting the appropriate combination of module technology and tracker stowing capabilities.”

The places with the highest risks tend to be in the region sometimes called Tornado Alley, which includes much of the Midwest plus Oklahoma and portions of Texas.

When Beardsworth talks about module technology, he means that some solar panels are being built to be more resistant to damage from large hail. In addition to stronger panels, developers can buy products, like the ones sold by Nextracker, that tilt panels to angles that avoid direct hits.

The use of stowing trackers got a test in 2022 when a hailstorm hit the Prospero 1 and Prospero 2 solar farms in West Texas, which implemented Nextracker equipment.

According to a case study written by Nextracker and the projects’ developer, Longroad Energy, the storm had whiteout conditions and hailstones that ranged from two to three inches in diameter. The panels were stowed at a 60-degree angle, which was the steepest setting at that time.

In the end, the panels had almost no damage in areas of the solar farms that got hit with two-inch hail. About one-third of the panels had damage in areas with three-inch hail.

I was thinking about Extinction and it kind of bummed me out, SO instead I started thinking about what my ultimate dream game + DM matchups for Oxventure Presents would be:

1. Andy running They Came from Beyond the Grave!: The They Came From series is amazing, and its ethos of players-as-writers would really suit this bunch. They're all good, but Beyond the Grave would play very nicely into Andy's vintage horror sensibilities

2. Ellen running Weave: I don't know if this game would actually stand up to streaming, but I would love to see it, I think it would really suit her in the way that it is often gentle but not cloying

3. Jane running the Dragon Age TTRPG: as a dating simulator. NOW KISS

4. Johnny running Pathfinder: Hell's Rebels: it is my favorite AP, Johnny would totally vibe with a setting about starting a revolution with a prissy villain and trans and genderfluid NPCs. Get ready to fall in love with Laria Longroad and make a lot of jokes about mint

5. Gravity RIP: go with me on this, because you'll want to:

Luke as the GM, clearly

Mike on PIP as the color commentary

A split season with Dicebreaker/Three Black Halflings

Where the teams are decided by draw in the first episode.

You know that would fuckin slap.

LongRoad: una banda de rock alternativo que renace con fe en cosas mayores - https://wp.me/p4pCgM-4r4

LongRoad es una banda de rock alternativo formada por tres amigos de la infancia de Rutherford, Nueva Jersey, y el cantante Ted Ames, originario de Coventry, Vermont. La banda se unió cuando los demás miembros conocieron a Ted Ames en el Knitting Factory de Nueva York y decidieron que la afinidad musical e intereses comunes entre ellos debían ser explorados juntos.
