Winter Storms, Summer Heat, and our 3rd World Electric System

If Beto was in charge we wouldn’t have the single digits even coming.

Wait a minute. You mean Beto causes global warming?

He does if you believe the claimed studies on cow flatulence

Somehow the lights are still on.

We're making cookies and such and we all just went outside to check and it is cold

Follow me for more insightful facts and anecdotes about the world

Dion,

Please learn to be more informative - what kind of cookies?

 

[Dionysus]

Snowball cookies, peanut butter kisses, candied pecans, and Oreo truffles, about to start on sugar cookies.

I’ll leave the porch light on for you.

 

[SabreHorn]

I can't eat more than 15-20 sugar cookies tonight

 

[SabreHorn]

If JoeFan is out there reading this, that lineup might be enough to bring him back.

The second pic seems to indicate a multiple wine glass coaster thingamajig. Who has those? I’m reducing my giant monthly sponsor amount.

I hadn't heard of a flight board until one of my wife’s employees gave her this thing with these tiny little glasses. I think it is for sophisticated people and their “tasting” parties but this is nothing more than brutish portion restriction as far as I can tell. I’m told it looks purdy on the kitchen counter though.

The tasting flights can be useful at a restaurant, but I'm not one to host parties and have a bunch of bottles laying around.

They can be purty though...

 

[SabreHorn]

I'm with Dion; looks like a snobbish attempt to keep party costs down by limiting how much attendees can drink. After going to one of those parties, I'd be inclined to take my own glass to the second one.

Flight board? That’s what HIC drinks before piloting one of Frontier Airlines’ DC 10s

Isn’t it glued to the cockpit dash?

Standard aircraft equipment I think

@horninchicago ?

Velcro.

There are some things we just can't talk about.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

I heard you pilots are graded on take off and landings by how much of the booze sloshes out of those little glasses.

Yep, we can leave early, arrive early, find smooth air, avoid thunderstorms, etc., but if the landing is a clunker, the whole flight sucked to most people.

Uh oh….

Here comes Chop with his 7-11 Big Gulp cup in hand to our party.

 

[SabreHorn]

Chop,

Your "big gulp" is welcome. We have a vat of Tom Herman Kool Aide left over, and a couple of bottles of Everclear you can cut it with.

If we continue to advance in nuclear fusion, getting to the point of it being a viable energy pathway, he is absolutely right.

We always had plenty of energy. This is mostly a solution to a PR problem.

As a customer flying generally two times a week, your job is to find smooth air so your flight attendants can serve drinks. Nobody cares about take off. The landing is a different story.

I went without power for 17 hours. Nothing to do with the grid though because it was a local problem that only affected 300+ people.

However did you survive? Are agencies stepping up to sufficiently make you whole for this wrong that the misguided media will try to pin on ERCOT?

Oh wait...you have common sense. You aren't newsworthy. We need someone with a victim complex dammit...

I clunk them on just for people like you.
