On one hand it's good that the CSB is classed as an independent agency under the executive branch as it prevents meddling in the things that they do. On the other hand the fact that they have zero power to influence regulation or drive legislation beyond issuing recommendations is a loving travesty.
It's a mixed bag in capitalist hell society but you can take heart that insurance companies are listening to the CSB. I mean that doesn't help you if you're killed but the company's underwriter is gonna at least be able to pay out a vaguely reasonable settlement after 30 years of civil litigation.

The people responsible for regulation and legislation realised a long time ago that you can basically just ignore the advice of expert investigative bodies and do whatever. See also: every single report released by the GAO.

As much as my home and residing state deserves to be shat on for many reasons, especially for how badly our utilities utterly screwed up during the loving Freeze, that's an unfair statement.

The reactor itself was properly shielded. The generators converting the reactors heat/steam to electricity is what were out in the open and froze. And this happened in multiple power plants (with the Natural Gas plants having the additional issues due to supply and price gouging/speculating suppliers). Because it's too much work to weatherize our critical infrastructure by building a cheap-rear end shed over it. Or more accurately: it's too much money that could go to the owners/shareholders pockets.

Don't worry, ERCOT will get every texans' money eventually. Then they'll all be too broke to leave Texas and the rest of the country can relax knowing they won't be invaded by fancy badged pickups and cowboy hats to the sound of radio pop country.

I have a more than educated guess of where, but in the maybe real interest of going on a dig....nope, not a single clue. The cops can do their own work, the hard way. All hail Paleas!

That just reminded me of the latest episode of Air Disasters: a Saab 2000 took a lightning strike and almost crashed when the autopilot failed and the crew struggled to regain control.

On investigation, they found that A) the autopilot was fine, the crew had been trained on an older model that had the "autopilot turns off on lightning strikes" issue, B) the Saab 2000's autopilot indicator is just that a tiny "AP" on the MFD goes from white to green, and C) there IS no manual override by just taking the controls, and D) a software glitch turned the autopilot off eventually

So the pilots couldn't tell the autopilot was still on, fought the autopilot until the plane went into a steep dive, and were saved because a whoopsie in a line of code turned off the autopilot at the exact right time - 10 seconds from plowing into the sea.

Planes are just GREAT!
