not much? neutered mules?

 

[UTMVol76]

I finished "Supernova in the East" last week and now I'm about halfway through "Blueprint for Armageddon"...Carlin does great work.

Do you listen on Spotify? Seems like there are a lot more episodes elsewhere but I only see the 10 or so (which will take forever to get through lol)

Also, I’d highly recommend the book or audio of Empire of the Summer Moon to any of you guys and gals. Amazing telling of the Comanche and Texan ordeal.

Just went through our turn at 15 minute rolling blackouts. Anyone else?
TVA

Ours ended up being a little over an hour because MLGW said it was a little more difficult to bring people back online than they thought.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Merry Christmas Volnation I appreciate all of you. Even the deserter @Bassmaster_Vol

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Ours went an hour. Dropped 3 degrees downstairs in an hour.

Ours went out early this morning for about an hour here in NE Alabama at my Mother-in-laws old house...it got really cold in here really quick.

Our house in Kentucky is very well insulated, but this place is like a sieve.

Only a sadist would neuter a mule

We will never create things that beautiful and intricate again.

Going to need confirmation he knows which team to block

 

[drvenner]

What if'n we had awe dem lectric cars to plug in?

It is part of the plot to keep everything shut down during the next Rona Winter surge.

Listening to Hardcore History (Celtic Holocaust)

Thank you

I just started listening to King of Kings (1000 years of Persian history). About an hour and a half in and I am entranced.

If yours only lasts 15 minutes then I am jealous. It’s happened twice over the past 2 days for a total of 3 and a 1/2 hours. Just short of 2 hours each time. 1st time was while my daughter was sleeping and her room got down to 54 degrees.

How does this save electricity? As soon as it's turned back on, every building is gonna be working overtime trying to get back up to set temp.

 

[drvenner]

My power went off during the night. Woke up to 55 degrees down stairs.

Sack up.

It doesn’t. Stupid decisions being made by those in charge as usual.

 

[drvenner]

How far does TVA's hand reach? I live in freaking Myrtle Beach...and we lost power for 15 minutes this morning. House temp dropped 5 degrees in 15 minutes.

Sack up

LOL.

Even bluedogs approve.

 

[drvenner]

Well I hope you don't have to spend your day resetting clocks.

I am very OCD about our clocks. I still reset the microwave and stove clocks every time.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It is here to stay, that is for sure. You can either deal with it as it comes or obsess about it and t let it control your entire life. If the shots help keep the severity down for certain people then they should feel free to get them. However, if people think getting the shots will keep them from getting covid they are sorely mistaken. On fact, vaccine is probably the wrong word to use for the shot. Maybe covid symptom reduction shot would be more appropriate.

Truth

The math works, when you dive into the details. It doesn't take a house long to get up to temp. It's all the other drains the house is using where the savings comes in. Lights, appliances, TV, computers, etc... The slightly increased usage of the furnace (only the electric ones, the gas ones don't use much electricity) doesn't come close to offsetting the savings from blacking out the rest of the house.

Yeah mine came back on, I have some friends though that their power has been off for an hour or more.

Yesterday, our blackout was just shy of 2 hours. Knock on wood. Hopefully paid our dues.

 

[drvenner]

Our power went out around 8:15 this morning and triggered the smoke alarms. We were in bed had been watching the news and both dozed back off. I jumped up like a wild man and started running around the house waking up my teenage sons and looking for smoke or a fire. A warning call/text/notification would have definitely been appreciated.

Not cool TVA

I will give Sevier County credit. They are sending texts to announce every round. They are helpful.

We sell the 15 at our store for 169.99. A 35% markup. I hope that store that’s selling it for 1800 goes under honestly. That’s mean of me but that’s some ********

 

[InVOLuntary]

Sack up.

I like to sleep when it's cold. As long as I've got a good blanket. Slept well. Well enough I ran the wife out in the middle of the night because of my snoring.
