User ID: 80044234 United States 02/16/2021 10:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I watched this news broadcast Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71882437 He said that 1. 500000 people had power restored due to federal government lifting restrictions on air pollution today 2. He said their were private generating plants that froze 3. He said if they did not do rolling blackouts then the entire grid COULD be off for months. Obviously they are trying to justify all the mistakes made by saying it could be much worse But to those that froze to death.. i doubt it can get worse They could be thawed, reanimated, and have to live through even more of the Biden Horror. That would be worse. Freelance Superhero with only a minor personality disorder. All my other personalities are just fine, thanks. Ignore him, no we aren't.

C19 - It's the new norm to stay home, don't travel! I'm hearing that they are expecting a new virus each year or every other year. Just like the never ending wars. Qtards - do nothing, get you popcorn and do absolutely freaking nothing! OH Noooooooos! The great storm, due to climate change of course. We need to run rolling blackouts now because combining the stupid power stations into a central grid is really working out in an emergency. Welcome to clown world |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80052552 Texas is the No. 1 state in both crude oil and natural gas. Wind power is also booming in Texas, which produced about 28% of all the US wind-powered electricity in 2019.

I know a Walmart where almost the entire staff has a degree. I won't say where. It's the most amazing Walmart I've ever been in and the only one I shop at when I'm in that city which is 2 states away. It's also mostly void of people except from 5-7pm one of the staff told me. I will give Walmart points for having decent rolls. I tried some of their 40 cents rolls, and I'll be dammed if they weren't delicious; nice and chewy and soft. The rolls at the fancy health food place were awful! How can you ruin bread? |
