And yeah, bodegas were open via candlelight. Bars were selling cans out of coolers. I was living off of canned beans and tuna. Cell phones and ATMs weren't working. The east river was a block away from my apartment rather than 6 blocks away like it's supposed to be. It was the glory days. But I wasn't freezing, and buried in snow. That's for sure. Incorrect....in fact, the following week there was a major snow storm in NJ and power went out again for days.

February 19, 20214 yr Quote Beto O'Rourke is organizing wellness checks for seniors during Texas' blackouts. On Wednesday night, O'Rourke announced he and volunteers had made more than 150,000 wellness calls to seniors throughout the state. this is how a leader who actually cares about the people acts.

Spoken with someone who loves to hear themselves talk, even though they have no idea what they're talking about. But that one in a million time! NYC has a seismic code on the books to make sure their buildings are earthquake proof even though it is a a one in a million chance of that happening. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

February 19, 20214 yr As bad as things are now in Texas, it could have been worse. Horrifying thread. Sorry to interrupt the memes. Please continue!

Planning, preparedness - these things cost money that bite into the bottom line. On the plus side, deregulation allows them jack up prices to ridiculous levels during emergencies, because serving customers power is not the goal. Collecting money is the only goal.

Maybe Texas power generators should have another goal besides profit?

Business continuity and DR planning, in the real world, include the ability to sustain operations even in the event of low frequency disasters. That's the point of having them. I'd legit be fired if an asteroid fell out of the sky onto one of the data centers I'm responsible for and we weren't able to sustain business operations. 2. I've been in TX for going on 6 years now and we've had what seem to be like endless "once in a century" floods and disasters. At some point you can't call them "once in a century" anymore. Yeah but how much does it cost to be prepared for that asteroid? Maybe a few grand to buy backup servers? if it cost more than the company was worth to be prepared for an asteroid and you insisted on spending that kind of cash for it, you would also be fired
February 19, 20214 yr i have no idea if this is really his dog...but yeah...i'll post it anyway! edit: found this.... A picture taken by a reporter for New York Magazine on Thursday showed the pet poodle looking out of a window of Mr Cruz’s home in Houston, Texas, while the senator, his wife, and daughters were away. Mr Cruz said he was trying to be a good father by taking his two young daughters out of the state in a written statement released after the short vacation was widely criticised on Thursday. A security guard said he had been tasked with looking after the poodle while the family were away from the home — which appeared to have electricity restored on Thursday afternoon, according to the reporter.
