Just read a headline that says “Biden tries to rein in ICE” and I figured that’d get twice the clicks in Texas.

Anyone else struggling with the mental whiplash of going from survival mode, back to white collar dumb internet job? Power is back but I feel like I just woke up from the worst nightmare and can't focus on anything, except being angry at Ted Cruz and the state government. Maybe we all got mild ptsd or something lmao

If Ted Cruz really wants to court trump supporters, the real tactic would be to brag that of course he wanted to get the gently caress out when times were bad, brag about being wealthy enough to be able to, and imply that the people suffering most are the indolent poors in order to shame people into downplaying their own suffering for fear of revealing their lower social status. Then he'd make some grand statement about how immigrants are stealing the power and how the power grid should make more blackouts to teach them a lesson, and tell people to steal their neighbor's boat.

Realized it was from being ao amped up trying to keep my family from freezing to death that I was already on the edge of decision fatigue and I just didn't have room to accommodate work.

Put it under the RRC where the only technical member (still pretty conservative, but was an engineer) got primaried out by a Trump chud and now the commission is 2 chuds and 1 Republican very good at throwing sand into the gears to prevent him from making a tough decision.

I clicked the Don Jr tweet link, got served an old people diaper ad, and it only got better from there. He's even trying to ape some of his father's speechisms. I'm vibrating in 12 different dimensions right now. I have ascended to a new quantum state. Also all the videos it wants to recommend to you are fat olds yelling into a camera about cancel culture lmao

Marxalot posted:That loving commiefornia dumbocrat governor *checks notes* No, no, no, Greg Abbott is the heroic do everything Republican governor, they're taking about the do nothing Democrat governor. Now, you might point out that Texas doesn't have a democrat governor, but DJTJr cannot be constrained by your so called "facts" and "words"!

Doesn't help to actually live through being treated as expendable instead of just joking about it on the internet all the time.

I sure didn't expect to have a taste of the hierarchy of needs. Now I know that running water is truly the most important thing, ahead of fuel, food, and electricity.

In a fun twist, the pilot light for the natural gas heater which heats my home is no longer lighting up the gas -- my guess is a loss of pressure from the natural gas line, possibly deliberately from the gas company. It was the opposite earlier this week, which saved my bacon, so I get to tough it out until the weather warms up this weekend. It's still pretty drat cold but it doesn't feel like -15. On the plus side, the gas-powered stoves still work so I can cook and make tea, and electricity is stable. Thanks for reading my blog. I can only imagine how much damage is out there from busted pipes, which I also fortunately didn't experience, but it happened to some of my relatives.

I took the other view. Nothing is more important than electricity. I can overcome a lack of running water with preparation and enough storage, but I can’t feasibly replace the power company.

Easy play, just replace it with the same thing with a different name. Let's you say you did something without doing anything. Might even be able to sneak in some of the same people.

I had a super tone deaf coworker from a state up north try and make light of the situation by making fun of “the rich oil state with no power,” and then he sent me a bunch of right wing “lol windmills” memes.

I can overcome a lack of running water with preparation and enough storage, but I can’t feasibly replace the power company. I could live without electricity as long as there was fuel to burn. Even with storage, the uncertainty of a steady water supply started eating away at my brain. I had to think about every sip I took and every time I had to fill up my toilet tank.

If you don't live in an apartment this should be your push to get a generator. I was extremely lucky in that we never lost power, but I bought a generator this past summer when there was talk about blackouts due to load on the system from everyone being home because of covid. Knowing if our power went out that I could keep the little ones warm took such a massive worry off my mind I consider it to have paid for itself even though we didn't use it. This exposed a few other vulnerabilities we had as far as emergency supplies and equipment and I will be buying that stuff asap so the next time this happens we'll be fine. If covid hadn't happened we would have been much less prepared. My wife used to give me poo poo when I bought "prepper crap" but after this she's changed her mind. Most people don't realize how close we are to disaster at any given moment until they go through it. I'm not buying survival buckets of food or whatever but definitely filling out my basic emergency supplies cache.

Look at you people with your fancy running water. I don't remember what showers feel like or freely washing your hands whenever. Electricity didn't go out though, so I guess this is Texas karma. 1 pipe burst that I know of, but don't want to check again and tango with the bathroom water demon. You fools going to work, never get off the disaster ride.

If it's anywhere from 50 to 90 I'll take the running water, but when it's below freezing, having a heater and a couple jugs of drinking water is way better than huddling in the bathroom and filling the tub with hot water to try to heat up the room above 50. That said, I also have two rain barrels that continue to refill as the snow has been melting on the roof, so we have been at no risk of running out of water to flush the toilets.
