“Will the next pope be right wing?” Wrong question. Catholicism is nine times older than the left-right paradigm. There’s no way to plot conclave politics on less than twenty different axes, several of which operate on non-physical planes & three of which are about being Italian

Definitely. Biggest difference is in the approach to project finance where geothermal, with stable cashflow and limited opex variability, can finance much like a wind or solar project. This is probably the single biggest unfamiliar aspect when an upstream O&G firm looks at geothermal.

Kind of begs the question whether geothermal companies require a fundamentally different approach to capital compared to oil and gas companies. Different time horizons and revenue models

I've been working toward the Nova Act launch since I joined Adept a little over 2 years ago! I knew agents were going to be big back then, and I'm even more confident now. Even now we're just getting started, lots of exciting things to come soon!

I have recently learned that falcons are, genetically speaking, closer to parrots than they are other raptors, and thus from now on I shall refer to falcons solely as "tactical parrots"

New update for my Python library which can compute the intersection between any two regular expressions as a third regular expression! It now handles very large character classes like without creating finite state machines with 1,000,000+ transitions
