  1. 8AM on Tuesday looks to be a sure outage. https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/supplyanddemand
  2. It's a holiday. There won't be many offices open. Schools out. That is the least impacting time to have an "emergency" and make their 2024 annual bonus KPI met by the middle of January.
  3. We've had 2 previous storms to perfect our response. Nope. 3rd storm in 4 years and we're still doing to hope and pray execution. When the shit crashes tomorrow, prices will get to $5000/MWh so assholes can make extra money.
  4. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/lucky-19-year-old-attacked-by-man-with-machete-at-auditorium-shores-talks-from-hospital/ — Gregory Seth Gott says he was on a nice walk Tuesday morning at Auditorium Shores when he felt someone bump into him from behind. When he turned around, he realized the man had a machete. He didn’t know the man, and figured he had been confused for someone else. But the man continued his attack. “I reach my hand out and it cuts deep into my hand. And that’s when it got pretty scary. I tried to turn and run,” Gott walked KXAN through the attack from his hospital bed. Austin Police name suspect in Auditorium Shores machete attack The Austin Police Department arrested Ashton Kaine Talley, 24, in connection with the attack. He was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of evading arrest, APD officials said in a release Wednesday. The 19-year-old college student says at one point he lost his balance and fell. Gott said the man continued to attack him, which resulted in severe injuries to his hands and arms, as Gott tried to shield himself. “I could barely move. I felt so like… everything got dizzy and blurry,” he said. “And he gets up, and he’s over me, and he just keeps swinging. So I’m just kind of rolling around on the ground trying not to get hit the best I can. But at this point, my hands were… they looked like they were like falling off my arms. So there wasn’t much I could do.” That’s where bystanders stepped in. Gott says a man started to yell at Talley, which caused him to walk away. KXAN talked to that man, Nathan Kurten, on Tuesday. “I yelled, ‘I’m calling 911.’ You know, ‘Give it up,’” Kurten said. “Then at that point, he stopped but he started chasing me.” Gott says with Talley moving away from him, others jumped in to apply pressure and keep him calm until first responders could arrive. Gott insinuated those bystanders may have helped save his life. Affidavit: ‘Good Samaritans’ help Austin machete victim before police arrive “Even when he had walked away to chase the other man and I was laying there on the ground, there was just so much blood everywhere, I was pretty confident that I was not going to survive,” Gott said. “But the people around came to me and tied up my wounds. And they, you know, walked me, talked me through it as the ambulance was coming.” Gott says he has surgery Friday that will determine the extent of the damage in his arms and hands. At a minimum, he won’t be able to use them for the next few months. He also has a skull fracture and injuries to his legs and back, he told us. Even still, Gott said he felt lucky with the extent of his injuries and the amount of support he’s received from friends, his family and the community. Machete attack near Auditorium Shores ‘random and unprovoked,’ sources say “I think it’s important to show that even when there is a person who is capable of so much so much evil, that there are hundreds more good people,” Gott said. A GoFundMe has been created for Gott, which KXAN has verified. It has nearly reached its $10,000 goal as of mid-day Thursday. “Despite it being a really difficult and scary situation, for me it’s also very hopeful. It’s almost pretty in a way, just how much support and help and love have gotten from so many different people,” Gott said.
  5. I wonder if the 1980s kids who watched this dreamt of being the flyer or the flyee.
  6. Updated story. Machete swinging maniacs name is Ashton Kaine Talley. Anyway to find out how many times this dude has been "processed" through the system? Wish the cops would've just shot this motherfucker. One less asshole for us in Austin to have to worry about. Saw an article on the victim. Looked like a nice 19 yr old dude from Louisiana going to school at ACC. What a fucked up situation. https://www.kvue.com/article/weather/winter-storm/austin-weather-freeze-ice-winter-storm-2021/269-820f33e6-4913-4103-a268-10b0fb7b2783 Austin police say 24-year-old Ashton Kaine Talley was arrested and charged following the alleged attack. Records show Talley faces two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon along with one count of evading arrest. Talley remains in the Travis County Jail without bond. Meanwhile, police say the victim, Seth Gott, is in an unknown condition but is stable. "The victim was on the ground and he was actually crawling on all fours, and the guy was striking him. And then, you know, he kind of rolled over on his back and he was still striking him, and he just didn't look like he was going to stop," Kurten said. An affidavit obtained by KVUE stated that the victim, Seth Gott, had more than a dozen cuts all over his body, including a large cut across his back, an almost complete amputation of his left hand, multiple cuts on fingers of his right hand and a large cut across his jaw near one of his ears. A witness told police there was no interaction between Gott and Talley. According to the affidavit, the witness said Gott "walked by Talley, Talley stood up, pulled out a machete and just started 'hacking'" Gott. Gott attempted to get away, but Talley chased after him, according to the witness. Gott then fell to the ground, and Talley allegedly continued to strike him with the machete. The witness said Talley then began chasing other people and attempted to attack them as well. According to the affidavit, multiple witnesses told police that Talley had fled over the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge. Officers ran across the bridge and eventually caught up with Talley, yelling at him to stop running. Initially, Talley continued running toward the intersection of West Cesar Chavez Street and Walter Seaholm Drive, but he eventually stopped, complied with the officers' commands and was arrested. The affidavit states that Talley had blood on his face, hands and clothes but had no injuries. When an APD officer interviewed Talley after his arrest, the affidavit states that Talley was "slow to respond to questions, seemed overly confused and was having difficulty concentrating on his responses." He could only say that someone had ran into him and that the blood on his body was from the man who ran into him. The affidavit states that Talley was "showing to not have any emotion and appeared to be having a mental health issue or had used some form of narcotic," though Talley told the police neither was true. The affidavit states that an APD officer interviewed Gott, who said he believed Talley had ran into him really hard, causing Talley to fall to the ground. Gott said when Talley got up and turned around, Gott realized Talley had a machete. Gott told police that Talley swung the machete at him more than 10 times and that while doing so, Talley said nothing and had a blank expression on his face
  7. For the 2021 and last year's Icepocalypses, I wrapped the dolly partons and no dripped. No issues from either time. Will do the same on Sunday.
  8. Things I'm doing to prep for the impending shitshow. 1. Buy extra propane tanks in case the gas company asshole forgets how to unlock the doors to the generator. I'm looking at you Austin Water! 2. Fill up my bathtub with water. I'm not melting ice to take a shit again. 3. Buy a weeks worth of extra food and water. 4. Kill my neighbors so they won't fight me when I burn down their homes for warmth.
  9. But I bet this Liberty loving mom will jack me off in a crowded theater just the same. All for the small price of paying for her groceries.
  10. Would. Moms for Liberty, to steal! https://www.rawstory.com/keri-blair-moms-for-liberty/ A right-wing Tennessee school board member backed by the Moms for Liberty group has been arrested on shoplifting charges. Keri Blair, who was elected in November 2022 following a campaign against tolerant "social agendas," is accused of stealing items from Target seven times between Nov. 25 and Dec. 20, reported WATN-TV. The 43-year-old Blair was booked Jan. 5 and charged with theft of property less than $1,000, and she was released on $7,500 bond. Police say Blair stole nearly $730 worth of merchandise by "skip-scanning" items at the store's self checkout. She resigned Wednesday from the Collierville school board, citing "family reasons." Shelby County school board races are nonpartisan, but Blair received contributions to her mostly self-financed campaign from Patricia Woodard, the treasurer of the local chapter of Moms for Liberty, and mirrored that far-right group's complaints about educational materials that did not reflect a conservative social agenda.
  11. Her extended family from their mansion on some Caribbean Island: "Here's to Aunt Mello! She took one for the team.
  12. Can they teach zone D for the D backs? Cause their Longhorn brethren can't seem to.
