but there was a major (and predictable) power outage in Lousiana two or three weeks ago that made the national news.

I LIVE in the New Orleans area in Louisiana, and I know nothing about this power outage you speak of....?

I never saw anything about this on local or national news....?

I'd be happy with YouTube, for a start, to relax the mods on gun content...these days they cannot even show a video of disassembling a gun to show how it works or how to clean it...

They ban videos showing someone screwing on/off a silencer these days.....it didn't used to be this strict....

If I had a rubber for slashdot I could fix this.

In American slang, "rubber" commonly refers to a condom. It's an informal term for a contraceptive device.

Yup...I was confused at him replying he wanted to fuck it safely.....

At this point, I still have no idea what he's trying to say here.....

Look at what recently occured both in Spain and in Louisiana, despite certainly some healthy effort (and planning one would hope) to keep the grid in those areas running fine under difficult conditions.

Not sure what you mean about Louisiana...?

I mean, we've not nothing like Spain hit us....

A few years ago, I believe it was Hurricane Ida that hit and knocked down all transmission lines into the greater New Orleans area....power was out there about a month, but that's Hurricane damage....catastrophic damage to an area which you expect to lose power for a bit.

Are you referring to that or something else which I don't know about.....we've not had anything hit similar to Spain.

The difference is that tech companies used to feel like they had to at least maintain a polite fiction that they were ethical and in some way serving a greater good.

I don't get it...I would think most anyone in the US would consider supporting our warfighters would be "serving the greater good"....

When exactly did being patriotic become a negative thing...?

Aggressive driving belongs on the track, and once FSD cars are being made en masse, human driving should be banned on public roads. That will save literally millions of lives

You know, I'd rather spend my limited time on this planet enjoying life....I'll accept the risk.

JFC....when did we as a society get so risk adverse???

I'm glad I grew up when I did.before the pussy-fication of the US.

"The 2024â"25 North American winter was considerably colder then the previous winter season, and much more wintry across the North American continent, signified by several rounds of bitterly cold temperatures occurring."

Hell, we had 12" + of fucking SNOW this past year in the greater New Orleans area....unprecedented !!!

It was fun to play in...put the whole area basically into a stand still for 3+ days....till we melted enough to get around again.
