Friend who works for one of our local Houston area State Representative political heroes was just on an elected official's call with Centerpoint and they straight up wouldn't take any questions after they were done giving their update and deuced off the call. If there's one thing that might cause the Lege to actually do something about Centerpoint its them thumbing their noses at our political heroes...so at least we got that going for us...
Bigger/more battery backups to store juice. More solar panels to charge said batteries. Starlink terminal that can be flipped on a couple day before any possible grid failure event all on my to-buy list.
Centerpoint currently in the black hole of PR doom a-la ERCOT February 2021: damned if they don't release a map, dammed when they do and its not 100% accurate.
To be perfectly honest, kinda respected Gundy more for just being real about it. Knew he had to backtrack it because its just one of those things you don't say out loud in his position, but I get it...
Very happy and blessed that I only intermittently lost power this morning and it’s been back on for good since 1030-11ish but quite baffled that Comcast kept the internet on whenever I had power this morning but as soon as the sun came out this afternoon it packed it in and went out… and Verizon cell service is 56k modem speed right now…oh well going little house on the prairie with a DVD player and bunny ears for the time being
Told my friends in San Antonio who have been bitching about no rain that they moved out to the near desert on their own, more than welcome to move back to Houston if they want rain…
riding this shit out in central Houston, office already closed tomorrow so hitting the IPA’s and weed vape rather heavy tonight. Had a “snow day” mid January and now got a hurricane day…thats gotta be some kind of record right?
Gundy is just gonna coach in Stillwater till they put him in a pine box right? Or at least till OSU thinks they can do better and runs him out of town Texas Tech style (RIP Mike Leach, CJK5H) Used to be somewhat surprised he didn't try and parlay his success at Okie State into a more prestigious job but it's become apparent thats just not what he wants to do, just wants to chill in Stillwater and get a raise every few years when he pretends to be interested in another job.
same boomers who voted for the current Gilead-esque State Government here in Texas? Yeah fuck them, wish all the identity theft and malware possible on them…
Well they were about to watch pretty much the whole team walk out the barn door to the portal so if this salvages a couple guys they prob see it as worth it...
Republicans like Lt. Dan being mad about Biden looking like shit because they realized maybe the early debate was a trap and they fell straight into it is quite funny
