Californians

[fingercuffs]

Any of you have a power shut down last night?

We didn't have a warning but PG&E shut down parts of San Jose last night for an hour. It was 104f in Mountain View last night when I stopped for groceries, mental.

@HeLLMuTT @Lethal ?

Nope. I have solar though.

That sucks. Move to Texas like Joe Rogan did. Texas energy is pretty reliable and we have the power to choose and change providers easily for the lowest rates

 

[lifelessheap]

PG&E burned down my town. So I'm no longer a Californian!

Haha. Planning on Austin in the spring.

Blackout?!?! What are YOU doing here?!

 

[Sakurabaism]

What city folk usually do when there's a blackout?

 

[fingercuffs]

PG&E burned down my town. So I'm no longer a Californian!

Which town?

 

[lifelessheap]

Which town?

Isn't that sad? That you have to ask? LoL It was the BIG fire.

I sat just outside my apartment and had a really good chinwag with a neighbour for most of the hour, it was nice. Socially distanced obviously, but he's a really nice old guy who I've only ever really said "hi" to in the 3 years I've lived here.

Paradise?

I'm in nearby Nevada and our power has been wonky for months.

As in negligence or intended power outages?

 

[fingercuffs]

This is what happens when you have Leftist Democrats running things for too long. The environment takes precedent over people's lives. And so the people move away.

Get back in your hole, vole.

 

[fingercuffs]

I am not wrong, you are now telling us yourself that you are planning on leaving California and moving to Texas.

That's got fuck all to do with politics. Stop assuming.

Like most desert towns I've lived in, the infrastructure is ancient and strange. In every way you can imagine. These places clearly never intended to have millions of people living here.

A fair amount of the housing is crumbling tenements and old converted motels from the 60s

 

[DaleBoca]

No power outage here in LA, well, at least in my part. Had some issues a year or two ago, when I believe it is was a bit hotter(2-3 degrees warmer).

 

[Mike]

I didn't say you were moving for politics. I just said that the left wing politics of California affects your energy grids out there and people are moving away because things are better for them elsewhere

Hey buddy how you been? Hope the family is doing well.

 

[The Stoat]

Hey buddy how you been? Hope the family is doing well.

Thank you! We are.

All the best to you as well!

Gotcha. Everything should be underground here so we don't have to worry about the wildfires and overhead cables setting them off, considering it's Silicon Valley and rich in that respect, very little is being put in to fix a very long term infrastructure problem. It will cost flippin millions but every year it's like putting a bandaid on a bullet hole. I don't get affected by the wildfire power outages at least being I'm way into the city.
Doesn't help that (don't quote me on this) PG&E have filed for bankruptcy twice.
