  1. Last official update from Centerpoint is 80% of everyone restored by end of day Sunday. They promised that most people would have concrete estimates by today, but haven't updated their map since last night and it's all sorts of wrong anyway. I assume the rain yesterday and today is fucking things up.
  2. I’ve been thinking about this. I’m sure all the linemen know what they’re doing, but I also assume the focus right now is on getting people back online quickly. Temporary solutions have a tendency to become permanent fixes though. After every outage, there’s a mad rush to get the grid back up, but does Centerpoint have the resources or even the willingness to go back over everything and “do it right” after all of the out of town resources have left? I wonder how much that cycle contributes to the fragility of the grid.
  3. That’s insane to me. So much shareholder value just being left on the table like that.
  4. Are you in the business of selling useless tracking websites?
  5. Yeah it's odd. Drove around quite a bit today and only saw 2 trucks. Absolutely nothing going on in my neighborhood.
  6. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/195bcf03ae0c491f9f14bf77f2c43420 No point in clicking though. It's both inaccurate and not updated.
  7. The numbers they are publishing aren't budging either. Maybe they're on PTO today.
  8. Centerpoint just sent my wife an email that our power was back on. Narrator: their power was not in fact back on
  9. I think my neighbor's Generac died. I can see it out my window. He's got the hood open and it has a red light on the side. Welcome to the 99%, you fucker (just kidding he's a nice guy).
  10. CenterPoint's map is wrong as shit in my neighborhood. I checked it last night not long after they published it and it's still wrong as of right now. Tons of people on Reddit reporting the same thing. What is even the point of putting out a map that everyone knows is bullshit?
  11. Better electricity infrastructure probably
  12. Not strictly “worth it”, IMO. It’s a luxury item. 98% of the time it’s sitting there doing nothing. Get a portable unit that can run your fridge and fans for one tenth of the price.
  13. Fuck me, 48 hours from now we have a 50/50 chance? Serious question, can portable generators run indefinitely? I’ve got a Tri-fuel Firman plugged into my breaker box powering my fridge and fans. Never tried to run it anywhere near 3 days straight. I change the oil and shit.

    USMNT 2024

    What the hell happened to Musah? I thought he was literally our best player at the World Cup. Then a complete nothing two years later at the Copa. Berhaltered?
  15. Many of us, myself included, were expecting full on Death Star this cycle. That felt like a pretty reasonable expectation. We are coming off a playoff appearance and very successful NFL draft, our NIL is top tier, and we’re joining the SEC with a stable coaching staff. How many other programs have so many advantages? You can probably count them on one hand. That expectation is not being met right now and it’s fair to wonder why. That fact that we’re already hoping for late flips (rare) or portal additions (complete unknown at this point) to save the cycle for us is pretty troubling. WR, OT, DT, LB, and DB recruiting all range from “somewhat concerning” to “total dumpster fire” right now. That’s an awful lot of loose ends to tie up in a class, given that a ton of the first tier of targets and visitors are already coming off the board.
  16. Marsch was a bum at his last two stops before this. We should be able to do much better.
  17. Redeemed himself
  18. This is good tv
  19. Canada keeper should’ve blocked that one

    Euro 2024

    Dembele has generated more offense in his 10 minutes than France did without him for an hour.
  21. Usually when a dude is committed somewhere and says he’s going to make an announcement, it’s not to…stay committed to the same place.

    Entertaining half of soccer. This Leao guy might be pretty good.
  23. “Dakorien we are having an all-day long backyard BBQ while celebrating your commitment to play football for 6 figures. Every single person in this family over the age of 21 is going to be hammered by 8 pm. You’re going to announce at 7 so we don’t have to be on camera.”
