    Well using centerpoint as an example... They took in $6.5B in profit last year, but spent evidently nothing on infrastructure hardening or disaster prep. But they raised our rates nonetheless and goosed their profits to all time highs A state sanctioned monopoly gouging customers and then leaving them in the dark, while raking in beaucoup bucks is a decent starting point of example

    Its gonna get real messy and shitty abroad and we're gonna be the ones responsible for letting fascists gain control. We saw the fucking attack on January 6th and did NOTHING AT FUCKING ALL. Because if anything was done, we would be just as bad as trump. And so now, we get trump. Watch some band of brothers to see how that goes for the fascists and the citizens of that fascist country - willing participants or no

    It's been appealed https://www.rawstory.com/smith-trump-documents-case-appeal/ Wow what a completely unforeseeable turn of events (if you're a lawyer) that aileen would do this for her benefactor

    Avgas is still gasoline and it breaks down over time. There's a reason the military uses turboprops over piston planes in the modern era - they burn jet fuel (sparkling diesel) rather than avgas

    This is literally a classical fascist tactic. Il duce himself used it to great effect

    Or just be investors in the people passing the laws and get some favorable terms yourself. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/08/04/texas-energy-industry-donations-legislature/ It's the free market at work, baby!

    IMO propane or natgas generators are the way to go. Gasoline breaks down after 6 to 9 months and you have to keep cycling it. Propane can sit in a cylinder for years with no problems. Plus it flows cleaner through the generators fuel system and makes it less prone to gumming up

    Saying that God will save a criminally fraudulent rapist but not classrooms full of children in Uvalde is probably not sending the message you intend

    Their cutover panel physically flips the other breakers open and you slot the ones you want to stay energized all in a certain spot in your breaker box. They still have room for moving two more 20A circuits onto their transfer switch too. When it's normal operation, you can keep all your circuits closed. Seems pretty straightforward and you can still choose a subset of circuits if you want to or have power budget concerns

    My in laws have a manual transfer switch with a manual 15kw generator that runs off their big ass propane tank. It was a ton cheaper than the auto set up and there's less of a concern with thrashing when power is intermittent

    If you get soft starts for your AC units you'll probably have enough headroom for at least one

    wow the cops ran the Uvalde playbook for trump, classic

    Literally yes, that's a common thing for people who have been subject to abuse for an extended period. There's been a healthy dialogue around the topic for years now https://www.salon.com/2020/09/11/ptsd-expert-seth-norrholm-americans-are-being-psychologically-abused-by-donald-trump/

    ...while completely ignoring that a 20 year old registered republican was the gunman

    Not just "got in a high spot" - dude carried a ladder with a long rifle while wearing a "demolitia" shirt for his favorite guntuber channel. Damn near every fucking red flag, and he just gets ignored? Talk about white privilege!

    Not if you want the community to police itself. A paper trail of their bad behavior makes it easier for the community to recognize and ignore shitheels, rather than the constant revolving door of troll socks. Definitely still delete and ban the posts, no need to host that kind of shit content, but don't let them get away quietly. It leaves the door open for them to come back later when things have calmed
  20. Captainant
    Whos posting that sort of thing? Name em and shame em if they're regulars

    Looking on Google maps, the shooter was on the building closest to trump. In the middle of a fucking field. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, how does that not get fucking covered by SS?
  22. Captainant
    For real, like that shit wouldn't work on deer lol, even at 150yds. Secret service fucked up so badly I am struggling to believe things at face value
  23. Captainant
    What's weird is that if the shooter donated $15 to actblue in 2021, he would've been 17 and unable to register with a party, so he mustve registered Republican after the PAC donation
  24. Captainant
    Centerpoint has gotta be breathing a sigh of relief to have the news cycle moved off of their negligence
  25. Captainant
    On topic: sky news has a helicopter shot of the roof and the ladder the shooter BROUGHT WITH HIM TO GET UP THE ROOF He fucking hid the ladder behind a tree and nobody spotted him? Fuckin keystone cops shit. As always, Simpsons did it first
