  1. But twitters customers are the companies paying for ads, not the people writing tweets...
  2. Got in some throttle therapy this morning... It rained all day yesterday so my county road loop was a little muddy. 4.25.22.mp4
  3. I read the plastic toothing titty thread first and thought no way used hospital thread tops this.... But I was wrong.
  4. I'm surprised some enterprising counties haven't done this yet...
  5. Handies>The Black Mamba
  6. Big Cabin, OK isn't much more than a truck stop. Before this law they were so bad that guy that owned the truck stop parked a semi trailer in a field with a big banner on it that said "SPEED TRAP AHEAD." After this law passed the Big Cabin PD got hammered and wasn't allowed to write any traffic tickets for a year. They would sit in their normal place in the median and just watch people speed by. My town is the extreme opposite it seems, I wish they'd pull over more people.
  7. Snow this morning
  8. Spring shakedown trip... Gonna be cold this weekend but if you waiting for perfect weather you'll never go... Grand Cherokee State Park; Langley OK And the homemade heated hose
  9. Every time I see the word MANPAD my first thought is that bit from Rob and Big where Big Black was talking about manpons.... Every time.
  10. Yeah its closed and heated. My only worry is the water hose coming in. I could just unhook it for the nights but I've had this stuff sitting around for a while with the intention of making one.
  11. A couple of weeks ago we booked a campsite for next weekend in a state park at the local lake for our spring shakedown/first trip of the year. Was hoping for the best weather wise but at the moment it looks like it's going to be a little chilly. I've got some heat tape and insulation I bought a couple years ago to make a heated hose, looks like I might need to throw it together before we go 🥶
  12. Yeah that's why I'm all in on AMC, I'm fixing to YOLO my 401k too and roll it all in. Fuck the hedgies! No cell no sell! HODL!!!! MOASS IS COMING!!! AMC go BRRRR 🚀🚀🚀 💎🙌
  13. Yeah I have a TO, the company I work for is fairly small (about 3000 miles of line) and designated a Transmission Owner, our BA is also technically registered as our TO. We operate under them as a regional dispatch center but I have operational control of all my devices in my control room. We own all our own fiber to our substations and all of our ICCP links are dedicated private lines, not that we have a whole lot. Yeah I can't speak about other's networks but if they are not following NERC CIP requirements then shame on them. I know we take it very seriously.
  14. Transmission level SCADA systems must be on their own private networks per NERC standards so for someone to hack into a transmission SCADA they would have to physically plug in at a substation to hack their way in or break into a control room either way at that point someone would know they are there. It would be easier at the distribution level that doesn't follow NERC standards but then it would be isolated to a smaller region and then what is the real danger if they command distribution breakers to open? Linemen dispatch, turn the controls to local, and close the breakers back in. But also there's like 3000 different distribution companies in the US so to cause a lot of trouble at that level would take a lot of coordination and breaking into a lot of systems. Yeah they could shut off a city and that would suck especially of it's really hot or any cold but it could be brought back up fairly quickly. At the transmission level all they could really do is trip open lines which would suck but what is the danger of physical damage occurring? Maybe some other lines would be overloaded to the point of self destruction but in order for that to happen all of the automatic relaying would have to be disabled at the same time to keep the overloaded facilities energized until they fell down and you can't do that with SCADA. So again if your SCADA is compromised you dispatch techs to switch the devices to local control and close them back in. Would take a couple days maybe to bring everything back up and it would be suck but would not be catastrophic. And again it is one transmission operator at a time unless a huge coordinated effort is underway. Generation plants, to gain access to controls in any ones of decent size you'd have to break in to the control room or the plant yard to gain control of the devices. The plants were tied to have their own control rooms on site. A large EMP would fuck our shit up in a hurry though. But bang for your buck, most cost effective way to fuck up a power system would be physical sabotage. A few 30.06 rounds from a couple hundred yards into a large transformer is a bad day all around. Then if you got a couple buddies doing it too at the same time then a lot of people in that region are going to be living like @Mooseoutfront for a while. Especially right now, most companies are running on very very thin inventory. I mean normally to replace a large transformer takes a while anyway but right now nobody has any spares and replacements are years out. Anyway, if you require electricity to live then buy a generator and keep plenty of fuel on hand.

    Ya'll thinking he's there to fix the defense but the rest of the country knows what the Assistant to the Head Coach job title really means
  16. The time after college and before marriage. Those were the days.
  17. Friend of mine... He stayed out jail just barely but lots of probation. Summer after our senior year in HS, he had just turned 18 and his girlfriend was 15. Her dad caught them in the act one night. In the heat of the moment he threatened to shoot my friend but he wasn't going to press charges. When her mom (her mom and dad were divorced) found she called the Sheriff. That was a long, crazy night all around, I could have gone to jail for something else....
  18. 16 is legal in Oklahoma but the older person has to be within 3 years. So a 16 year old and a 19 year old are ok - but 16 and 20 are not.
  19. I think because it was already covered?
  20. Sorry to hear that 😕
