Cugel the Clever posted:If people will excuse me dredging up an 11-year-old South Park episode: what the gently caress was the intended take away of "Captain Hindsight"? 'cause the tone seemed to me that they were criticizing the idea of critically examining failures and taking steps to avoid them in the future. Maybe it was just dumb contrarian "hurr-hurr what does this do for the people actively facing the problem", but that's still asinine. ERCOT literally refuses to invest in their infrastructure in order to funnel money in the C suite pockets. Its a metaphor for just how bad the Free Market is at actually addressing issues. "Captain Hindsight" is that ERCOT knows about the issues, and REFUSES to address them. If they actually gave a gently caress they would've done something after the 2011 Blackouts. They didn't. Its not worth offering more critique when ERCOT will do nothing with it.

Note there's no back ups in that order, nor firewalls. dude's server would have worked for about 30 fuckin seconds before getting absolutely wrecked, if it had ever gotten off the ground. If there's one thing I can tell you from doing IT Engineering for 15 years, its that Conservatives in IT tend to cut a LOT of corners than most companies want to tolerate, and are embarrassingly bad at even basic security.

stackofflapjacks posted:Do you have any sources for the second part of your post? I have a couple of environmental activist friends who are vehemently anti-nuclear and I would love to share that with them https://www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...sh=7fe356cd7453 Its also worth noting that, especially in Germany's case, there's a lot of clear cut corruption where Russian Natural Gas interests helped push anti-nuclear and accelerated Germany shuttering their nuclear plants. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54462311 Greenpeace, who fudged a lot of the Chernobyl death numbers and cancer numbers, actually sells natural gas in Germany, their "goal" is to use green gas but in reality they are reselling 98% Fossil fuel gas. Let's be honest: the Oil and Gas industry directly benefits from anti-nuclear stuff, so its not suprising they may be encouraging it.

Cugel the Clever posted:It wasn't just stupidity. Russia bankrolled a massive influence campaign and subverted major political figures to push that shutdown through in order to make Germany ever more reliant on Russian natural gas. AFAIK there's been no impactful accounting or even introspection about that? Basically, and their renewables program is basically stalled, they've admitted they are going to miss their emissions goals, meanwhile France next door is sitting pretty. At this point, Germany is also probably going to miss their goals for getting off lignite and don't even have an end date for Natural Gas yet.

Fed Grand Jury for Chauvin came back, they are pressing charges not only for the murder but Chauvin is facing charges for a previous incident where he choked and beat a 17 year old. https://twitter.com/CommieGIR/status/1390696396706271233?s=20 Chauvin's hosed. Even if he appeals, the Fed charges will stick, he's not getting out of this it looks like. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 16:54 on May 7, 2021 |

Rumors are that Secret Service hosed some Trumps and cucked Trump Jr.quote:In her new book, she writes that Secret Service agents reported that Vanessa Trump, the wife of the president’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr, “started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to her family”. between these rumors and Trump trying to get overweight Secret Service guys kicked off his detail, these people are like a reality show come to life.
