  1. Have them get a direct attack just for funsies and you might not be so calm
  2. Are you NERC certified? I'm RC and TO and as much as we believe we are off the network we are not. Remote work has got us into a bigger jam. My buddies at ONCOR just went with a test thinking the same thing and they got caught pants down
  3. Sorry this is usually when there ain't shit happening until 10 PM when it is day break in Ukraine where we get actual news so it's a bunch of conjecture.
  4. I don't believe that. If our grid went out. Massive looting would start.
  5. Yeah. I've been involved in power production since I was 21. When I got to the commercial side I was like holy fuck. We are ripe for disaster. Most nukes who get out of the navy go get their engineering degrees or end up on commercial power or data centers. Our skill set translates. We are scared shitless of a hack. Any facility with SCADA which is all is open to a hack. IT is a loss center so no one wants to throw money in it. ERCOT gets this huge blame in Texas but no one actually knows what ERCOT is. They are just the scapegoat. Look at Texas during Harvey. We had power. That's why we didn't riot. We couldn't go anywhere. Ice storm same thing. We lose the grid and have open roads it would be chaos beyond anything.
  6. Haha. We flew an MD80 from Guam to Tacoma. We were like uhh does that thing even have the distance? Apparently it did
  7. Yeah. The open comms thing has me laughing. Just because they are running open comms with the ground units does not mean they are doing the same with their first strike units.
  8. Well. Different story. Those dead Russians included Ukranians too. It's one thing to die defending your country. It's a different thing being the invader
  9. You trigger article 5 when NATO wants to trigger article 5. The Slovenian embassy hopefully has been fully evacuated. The embassy abandoned. At that point. It becomes building in Kiev.
  10. Oh I wasn't talking about you. It was a general talk. So many people non social media saying I would go fight. Well there's an open invitation. Do it. As for your kids friends put on a GoPro. You're a journalist.
  11. I mean it wouldn't be good. The initial high airborne would be crazy but the exclusion zone would probably be limited to the perimeter of the base when it came to long term. And it's only from the Russian nuke. Those bunkers are hardened enough to withstand a strike
  12. Everyone wants to to talk about going. No one is actually willing to go. Honestly if someone nfelt that strongly about going right now. What is stopping you.
  13. Wear a GoPro. Go into the shit. Broadcast on youtube
  14. Yeah. I have a lot of buddies that were in combat and they said the fun part was fighting the enemy you could see. Once it became occupation it was horrific. Urban warfare still gives them nightmares. You could walk down the street and it would seem normal and then you were under attack with civilians all with AKs. 99 percent of them were going to get food. Might be a trash can on the way there. Bomb on the way back.
  15. Stuff already is moving and stuff is already there . COs have already put out the message. Hey the shit we say. Don't be going on tik tok which is owned by the Chinese on what we told you.
  16. Zelensky staying alive each night becomes more and more important. If they get to him I think the opposition starts to crumble
  17. I wonder how the street fighting is going to look in the day time with the city they just took.
  18. One of my weapons officers did his doctoral program on UUVs and he was out there. Basically a bunch of research grant stuff out there. As far as chance of getting nuked. Pretty low on the list.
  19. I'm at the point of pictures or it didn't happen.
  20. The Ukranians cannot afford a ceasefire. A ceasefire would surely mean no more weapons from the west as part of the agreement. Russia has time to adapt and reload. It's either fight now or become Russia.
  21. Must not be a surly lawyer. Otherwise you would know the power of strenuously sanctioning someone. It's way more effective than a regular sanction.
  22. Secret submarine base? They used to have a training reactor where some of the nukes would go for prototype but that's long gone. That's also the location we found out the army can't.be trusted with a nuclear reactor.
  23. What chilled me to the bone was the Russian Foreign ministers comment yesterday. He said hey if Russia isn't left here to play why should we not take everything with us. It doesn't matter if 1 or 100 of those nukes make it up there. They all have multiple reentry vehicles. So that's multiple targets. Throw that with a cyber attack and yeah. We are proper fucked. Yeah a Putin withdrawal is impossible at this point.
  24. Meh. You know how much grain we allow to rot away every year?
