  1. Yeah that's why I'm all in on AMC, I'm fixing to YOLO my 401k too and roll it all in. Fuck the hedgies! No cell no sell! HODL!!!! MOASS IS COMING!!! AMC go BRRRR 🚀🚀🚀 💎🙌
  2. Yeah I have a TO, the company I work for is fairly small (about 3000 miles of line) and designated a Transmission Owner, our BA is also technically registered as our TO. We operate under them as a regional dispatch center but I have operational control of all my devices in my control room. We own all our own fiber to our substations and all of our ICCP links are dedicated private lines, not that we have a whole lot. Yeah I can't speak about other's networks but if they are not following NERC CIP requirements then shame on them. I know we take it very seriously.
  3. Transmission level SCADA systems must be on their own private networks per NERC standards so for someone to hack into a transmission SCADA they would have to physically plug in at a substation to hack their way in or break into a control room either way at that point someone would know they are there. It would be easier at the distribution level that doesn't follow NERC standards but then it would be isolated to a smaller region and then what is the real danger if they command distribution breakers to open? Linemen dispatch, turn the controls to local, and close the breakers back in. But also there's like 3000 different distribution companies in the US so to cause a lot of trouble at that level would take a lot of coordination and breaking into a lot of systems. Yeah they could shut off a city and that would suck especially of it's really hot or any cold but it could be brought back up fairly quickly. At the transmission level all they could really do is trip open lines which would suck but what is the danger of physical damage occurring? Maybe some other lines would be overloaded to the point of self destruction but in order for that to happen all of the automatic relaying would have to be disabled at the same time to keep the overloaded facilities energized until they fell down and you can't do that with SCADA. So again if your SCADA is compromised you dispatch techs to switch the devices to local control and close them back in. Would take a couple days maybe to bring everything back up and it would be suck but would not be catastrophic. And again it is one transmission operator at a time unless a huge coordinated effort is underway. Generation plants, to gain access to controls in any ones of decent size you'd have to break in to the control room or the plant yard to gain control of the devices. The plants were tied to have their own control rooms on site. A large EMP would fuck our shit up in a hurry though. But bang for your buck, most cost effective way to fuck up a power system would be physical sabotage. A few 30.06 rounds from a couple hundred yards into a large transformer is a bad day all around. Then if you got a couple buddies doing it too at the same time then a lot of people in that region are going to be living like @Mooseoutfront for a while. Especially right now, most companies are running on very very thin inventory. I mean normally to replace a large transformer takes a while anyway but right now nobody has any spares and replacements are years out. Anyway, if you require electricity to live then buy a generator and keep plenty of fuel on hand.

    Phatterson

    Ya'll thinking he's there to fix the defense but the rest of the country knows what the Assistant to the Head Coach job title really means
  5. The time after college and before marriage. Those were the days.
  6. Friend of mine... He stayed out jail just barely but lots of probation. Summer after our senior year in HS, he had just turned 18 and his girlfriend was 15. Her dad caught them in the act one night. In the heat of the moment he threatened to shoot my friend but he wasn't going to press charges. When her mom (her mom and dad were divorced) found she called the Sheriff. That was a long, crazy night all around, I could have gone to jail for something else....
  7. 16 is legal in Oklahoma but the older person has to be within 3 years. So a 16 year old and a 19 year old are ok - but 16 and 20 are not.
  8. I think because it was already covered?
  9. How's your time in Tulsa? I live about 60 miles northeast of there...
  10. I thought the established reaction in this scenario was that you are to tear down your own fence to show your neighbor how mad you are?
  11. You leave it on the platform and pump it out from the top of the barrel. When it's empty you can pick it up and put it back in the truck...
  12. I dunno how Moose does it - but growing up on the farm we bought our tractor gas this way too. You can by gas cheaper at the COOP or a few other places that sell off-road (no road tax) gas. It doesn't really take much effort to "walk"/slide the barrel to the back of the tailgate. We had this old metal box that was just a bit shorter than the tailgate. You could tilt the barrel a little and roll it carefully onto that platform. I mean, you kids that grew up in the city might have struggled but it wasn't much trouble...
  13. Surly is kind of the secrant of the big12. But with blackjack and hookers. This is what I'm going to miss most after the breakup. We can find out more about our teams here than on our own censored message boards.
  14. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/kansas/elk-river-hiking-trail The western half of the trail is fairly tame and flat (from what I've read, I skipped that end) but the eastern half is pretty technical in spots, there are a couple of places where you have to scramble a bit over rocks and one place where you have to take off your pack to climb up crack. If you start at the eastern trailhead there is a big, steep hill right off the bat that kind of sucks. I think it's about a hundred foot rise in about a tenth of a mile. But just past it is a pretty neat canyon you kind of maze your way through. I think the roughest part of the trail is the first two miles or so from the eastern end. I've been on it three times, but I never did the full end to end. The first two times, I took my daughter with me (she was 9 the first time then we went back when she was 10). The first time we started from the eastern trailhead and we only went in about 3 miles then camped and came back the next morning. If you go down to County Road 5000 there is a place to park and a trailhead sign there where the trail crosses the road. That's where I started both other times and went east from there. I would recommend doing the same, just out and back from that intersection. Going in a couple miles from there to me is the best moderate part of the trail and is a pretty interesting hike. And you'll want to remember your trekking poles.
  15. And Lincon Riley's response
  16. Yeah Baylor will get the Sugar Bowl vs. highest SEC team not in the CFP (Bama or Ole Miss?)
  17. Press conference is starting any minute... Bob Stoops is there and they say BV is in town? https://www.thesportsanimal.com/listen-live/
  18. Local OKC radio is saying Brent Venables on the ground in Norman: https://www.thesportsanimal.com/listen-live/
