Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
Not only does Houston still have power and water, check out the traffic



It is literally freezing cold outside but the roads are still open and moving at posted limits. last year caught us slipping and we will never let it happen again. One bad experience with cold and we can handle it from then on out. Northern cities BTFO by Houston yet again

Okay now maybe I'm a bit confused on whether we should drip the taps or not

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRq5PBQq/

That's well beyond dripping taps and into "Whoops, we hosed now" territory. Drains will freeze under those conditions and your dripping tap has nowhere to go. Time to quickly turn off the water at the street, drain the pipes, and pour antifreeze in all the sink and toilet drains.

You don't have an emergency supply of RV drain antifreeze? Maybe table salt will keep you from having to replace your toilets? I dunno, absolutely miserable conditions for people to go through.

It's like reading the local newspaper in my ancestral home in Gloucestshire. I feel sorry for the people freezing in their tenement blocks but you've been voting Tory for most of the last 4 decades. Leopards aren't known for their face-eating selectivity.

otoh I'm falling in to the Just World trap and am a horrible person like everyone else so there's that.

unfortunately, doing infrastructure things like digging in collapsing USA is extremely expensive because layers of middlemen need to get their beak wet
