deegeese,

Did they gain any regulatory power since the previous disaster?

SpaceNoodle,

LOL

corsicanguppy,

How has praying worked in the past? Is it time for Plan B?

WhiteOakBayou,

Winterize the camper. Maybe drip my pipes

scytale,

Fairly more optimistic than the previous years because there’s no rain in the forecast this time. Freezing is more manageable if there’s no ice everywhere. Of course there’s still the danger of pipes bursting because of lack of winterization. Then the most obvious, the fear of losing power.

I don’t have solar power, so the lights might still go out, but I still have a natural gas heater so I’m probably fine. I’m hoping we can keep the roads clear because I don’t want to use PTO until I can enjoy my time off.

PizzasDontWearCapes,

Natural gas furnaces still need electricity to run the blower and exhaust fans

Neat, my heater is literally a gas burner on the wall, so it will work without electricity.

The pumps for the natural gas grid won’t be powered though. Now the question is if those have what I assume would be massive generators along the grid, which I doubt.

Blamemeta,

Well, the freeze that took out power broke the cold records by about ten degrees, during the height of covid. Shouldn’t be that big of a deal.

ridethisbike,

Sure hope you knocked on wood after saying that

Blamemeta,

Fuck I just jinxed it.

At least in 2021, it was a low of 3 degrees. This weekend it’s a low of 10 degrees, so seven degrees warmer. Plus only a 20% chance of snow.

Blamemeta,

A double post accusing me of knowing about the 2 most popular hentai sites in the world?

Do you honestly think that literally anyone cares?

Kaiju, (edited )

You are a pedophile, stop banning people for bringing it up, you fuckin nonce.

And yes, we do care outside of your conservative echo chamber, you are a child sex predator. This will not stop. You will not be left alone to promote child sexual predation. It is wrong and you are wrong for protecting it. You cannot ban people on the fediverse. we will continue to find you.

People were looking for sexual images of children, they could not find it, and you told them where to go to find it. You are a pedo helping other pedos to find pedo content. Undeniable.

Blamemeta,

Don’t even pretend it’s about children or hentai sites or whatever. It was about getting banned from your favorite troll spot. You were making a fool of yourself on /c/conservative on your karo account, you got repeated warnings and repeated short-term bans. You only started after you got perma banned.

    lol you fuckin linked to a place to find child sexual abuse imagery, and I posted about it in your sub, so you banned me.

    Instead of giving an explanation.

    You are a pedofile.

    Stop trying to change the subject.

    Tell me how reading a comment about how you responded to the difficulty of finding child sexual abuse content by PROVIDING LINKS TO A SOURCE FOR THAT CONTENT is trolling.

    i.imgur.com/7eTCce1.png

    ^this is you doing that. You helped them, you are one of them. YOU ARE A PEDOPHILE.

    edit - I got banned once, permanently, no warnings, because I called you out for what you are. my modlog will bear that out.

    edit 2: I am not karo, jesus christ, more than one person can see you and conclude you are a pedo, you fuckin idiot paranoid pedophile.

    scottmeme,

    Our governor is incompetent as fuck

    claycle,

    Is the rule don’t assume incompetence when evil is the simpler answer.

    /s

    scottmeme,

    I mean Abbott is pretty fucking evil, like limiting payouts after taking a massive payout from getting crushed by a tree.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    He definitely doesnt strike me as a stand up guy.

    scottmeme,

    Man won’t stand for the nation anthem 😡

    corsicanguppy,

    You mean like a comedian?

    Gerudo,

    Thankful there won’t be ice, that was the biggest problem last time. As long as ercot can keep up with the elctricity demand, should be okay.

    PrincessLeiasCat,

    I haven’t heard much about it tbh, but I’m in Houston so maybe it won’t affect us this time. That being said, thanks for the heads up! Abbott and ERCOT sadly have the ability to outdo even the worst disaster responses.

    LemmyKnowsBest,

    I keep forgetting that February is always colder than January. Just when I think I’ve made it through the winter, here comes February.

    AquaTofana,

    Gonna make sure my faucets have a slight drip and the outdoor ones are covered.

    Other than that, we’ve got a kerosene heater and a jackery battery that’s been charging for a few days now. We’ll use that for charging phones/plugging in our wifi if the electricity goes out again!

    TheGalacticVoid,

    I’ll probably be fine, but a lot of people won’t be.

    PastyWaterSnake,

    Hope like hell that my 2500w inverter generator can start my HVAC blower so I can run the gas heat

    Lightrider,

    Hopefully the fuckingcapitalists at ERCOT won’t kill everyone.

    hactar42,

    Fuck ERCOT, Greg Abbott, and every single asshole who keeps voting him and all the Republicans back into office.

    tamal3,

    Texas, please don’t light camping stoves inside your houses this time, and please get carbon monoxide detectors.

    Those photos a few years ago were painful to look at.
