Are birds- are their s- is their sensory nature developed in such a way that they themselves can predict bad weather so that they can kind of self-preserve and get out of the way before they're in a bad weather system?

Well, I don't know if they're predicting it so much as they're kind of sensing it while they're still on the ground and deciding, "Hey, the winds are blowing the right direction tonight.

We're all gonna take off and fly, you know, over a couple states tonight." Um, or they might say, "The winds are blowing the wrong direction.

We're just not gonna move today.

You know, it's not a good day to move.

We'll try again tomorrow night." Um, and so a lot of these birds that move really long distances, they're really sensitive to what the wind looks like.

And then there are some birds that are also really paying attention to what the weather looks like or what the- what's going on with the plants around them.

That has helped.

How does the software enable the scale up of that? I mean, what are we talking here in terms of the expansion?

I kind of bucket the software into two different buckets.

There's the administrative bucket, so the software that's doing everything that's between collecting revenue, getting to charge different ways, kilowatt hour, hourly, enforced loitering, which has now become very relevant in multifamily buildings.

You know, the user experience when a driver comes up in a multifamily building, what does that look like? Are they downloading an app? Are they using an RFID card? Are they just scanning the QR code on the device? And then you have the energy management component.

So, you know, at its basic core, these chargers can now, they can load share, what we call basic load share.

So they know when one is heating up, the other one needs to throttle down.

But the advanced load management component is what is being able to really scale this industry as a whole, especially multifamily.

What do you think the lesson that transfers from Switch's experience to any of those different modes is? What would you tell a bus depot manager? that they might be surprised to hear about how to charge a fleet or how to manage charge places or things like that.

So if we can track them via radar, the question occurs to me, Are birds, is their sensory nature developed in such a way that they themselves can predict bad weather so that they can kind of self-preserve and get out of the way before they're in a bad weather system?

Well, I don't know if they're predicting it so much as they're kind of sensing it while they're still on the ground and deciding, hey, the winds are blowing the right direction tonight.

We're all going to take off and fly, you know, over a couple states tonight.

Or they might say the winds are blowing the wrong direction.

We're just not going to move today.

You know, it's not a good day to move.

We'll try again tomorrow night.

That has helped.

So what does that say in terms of just the eclectic variety of jazz? And what are you trying to present in terms of that, all the different influences?

Yeah, I mean, jazz has always been a genre that was able to accommodate lots of different influences.

And an orchestra is just an amazing palette for all of those different influences to come together.

And then when you have a composer's collective and all these different folks with their own voices writing for it, you get just this breathtaking variety that I think makes the project more accessible and also in a way more contemporary because of how varied our listening diets are these days in general.

Thanks so much for coming in.

Thanks for having me.

Thank you.

Yeah.

One could...

I don't think that would be the right move.

It's not to say the Knicks had to keep Mitchell Robinson.

There was a threshold in which the number didn't really make a lot of sense, but I, I know that's up for debate with the second apron versus not.

But it was more, for me, I still don't feel like the Knicks have solved their backup center issue, and that's fine.

I'm okay with the fact that they haven't solved it.

Mm-hmm.

Batase, his contract, how many years does he have left and how much is he making again?

He's got one year left this upcoming year.

And he's making $7.6 million.

So, theoretically, if you're the Knicks, you could move Dottie's salary at $2.9 million, really just about $3 million.

You could trade someone like Kolek.

And then what's interesting about the offseason is you can sign and trade salary away with a player that's not on your roster.

So any of the two-way guys, you could do exactly what the Knicks did with trying to get Karl-Anthony Towns, and they were successful.

I already heard how you feel about Mitch, but do you look at him as a must-bring-back role player? Or does his return depend entirely on what happens with Mitchell Robinson?

Uh, what were your impressions o- overall impressions of the game and, and anything that you thought stood out that you want to highlight?

Of course.

Good start overall.

You know, I mean, really-It, it's nice to see the starting five, even though the net rating for the game wasn't great, and the defense to start with wasn't quite there, just with how hot the Hawks were.

Um, but the offense was flowing for the Knicks in the beginning, which is something that, of course, could be a concern.

Even though it was primarily a Jalen Brunson-led experience, that doesn't mean that the shots weren't available.

It was nice seeing guys getting involved a bit there, so that was fantastic.

That, you know, that has to me, i- isn't that the headline of game one, or I don't know if you disagree?

I'll just ask you, what was your impression of the story and where are you at on this thing right now? Honest impression, it was a shrug.

Really? Okay.

I'll go into why.

Choms had said even earlier this offseason, he didn't know what Giannis was up to.

He's been chasing this story.

And now we get this report.

And the report is primarily what? That there's this exclusive window for the Knicks to...

Now I'm done saying it.
