@gwb-trading Clearly, my statement below is correct after reviewing the numbers in the previous post.
People Who Moved To Texas From California Finally Feeling At Home Now That Power Is Out
- Thread starter TreeFrogTrader
- Start date
California has crazy earthquake facts. For example, many people do not realize that it gets about 10,000 earthquakes each year...most small ones...some start forest fires.
- I think they are very use to it. They know the big one will hit one day but hoping it won't be in their lifetime.
I've experience all of them in my lifetime while living in many places in the world except for a tsunami.
Yet, to me, Tornadoes are the worst...caught in one in Spencer, South Dakota on a pheasant hunting trip. Family and military friends lucky to survived that although a military friend did suffer a broken leg.
- Strange thing...we remember seeing an unusual number of cats running down a gravel road and thought it was because of nearby storm but we didn't have any rain in our area.
Saw a bunch of cats running down the street and suddenly remember the prior time such had happened (Spencer, South Dakota). 2 minutes later we were hit with a earthquake. Ground shook...knocked over my hot cup of cocoa. Kids and spouse slept through it.
Thus, it does not matter where you live, if you ever see a bunch of cats running down the road...its too late to run.

You really have no idea how the global economy works do you.
Cats may not be the best metric, because they are not of this earth and do weird shit all the time.
When grandmothers are found frozen-to-death in their recliners.
Texas has pointed out the vulnerability of the *entire* grid in a way that Joe Sixpack can understand. My understanding is that when the national grid goes down on a large scale it cannot just be brought back up. It has to be brought up in segments and it could take *years*.
Seems like a pretty big threat.
I recently had a natural gas whole house generator installed. Now I honestly wish I had gone with propane and just put in a large tank for it. Everybody needs to think about emergency power a little bit.

Well...not one cat.
Yet, if I saw a bunch of cats suddenly standing on car door handles...shit is about to happen and its too late to run.

People calling others "Fake Canadians" are just jealous idiots that doesn't even know what is a "Fake Canadian". Just put Canadian bacon on their pizza or Maple Syrup on their cooked meats...they'll abandon their racism and covidiot attitude to get ready to immigrate to Canada
On the flip side, Canada can send them its racists and covidiots after they've been stripped of their citizenships.

Fake Canadian
The so called "fake" canadians, are the current inhabitants in what is known of to the rest of the world as "Canada". They are said to have arrived shortly before, or directly after, the imprisonment of the "real candadians" (see The RCP) who were said to origionally inhabit "Canada"
The "fake canadians" are a war like people, generally dominated by whiskey drinking women armmed with swords (they feel blades to be more intimate then guns, but those are used to), who rise in power through deadly duels, and strategic forced marriages (the men are unusually docile), through which if they are powerful enough, to defeat any challenging matriarchs, they will take over an entire family, and it's wealth. Families are considered property, and like most property the women will duel over it. Property can be taken away at anytime by anyone strong enough to do so, there is no judicial system and most "governing" forces are unconcerned with the general populace. Goverment excluding the Emporer, and clown death squad (talked about shortly) are there more for tourists and show purposes, so there is no legal recognition of ownership.
However, there are a group of people who call themselves police, having got the idea from televison, after obtaining approval by the emporer they commenced the supervison of duels where able, by way of ensuring that at least one combatant is killed, and to enforce drinking laws, requiring every person to consume at least five litres of alcohol per day.
Socially friendships are short lived often ending in the death of one person after some perceived disagreement. In "fake" canadian culture it is paramount to not be preceived as weak, and so crucial to defend with lethal violence when faced with anything that could be thought to be an insult and therefore a challenge. Marriages are more for property aquisition, and status (the marrying and dominating of a foreinger seen to be as especially status boosting), and women are allowed to aquire as many husbands as they please. However like all things if someone sees a woman too "soft" on her husbands, she is often open to attack and cristism, of course resulting in death duels.
The infrastructures, of cities are completely destroyed daily, and miraculously rebuilt, in mere minutes. The "fake" canadians being phoenominal architechts. There is not usually any use or appearence of traffic lights, as there are no traffic laws, these are however hastily put in upon the arrival of foreigners.
The cross is the national sign of whiskey, and is featured on many whiskey temples, whiskey flows from all taps instead of water (these can be rerouted to run water in the event of tourists), it should be noted "fake" canadians are immmune from any of the ill effects of alcohol.
Cars are manufactured without locks or ignition keys since there is no ownership except what you can defend, people will just take and abandon vehicles at will.
The parks are the only places where violence is not perpetrated by people, and an unwritten, and unspoken truce agreement exists, that noone has ever violated. However the unique risk of rabid lions is present. It has been rumoured that the clown death squad fed and continues to feed the once docile lions the bodies of the people they kill, effectivly training them to seek human flesh.
The clown Death Squad origionally said to be a group of rouge socio and psychopathic killers, who escaped prosecution in other countries, convinced the emporer he employed them and continues to do so. They visciously kill any who inadvertantly offends them. They have an unnerving propensity to jump out of cabinets, glove compartments, and other small places, the location of which not confined to "Canada". (see Clown Death Squad).
The "fake" canadians, imitate a reasonable democracy, when ever a tourist is near. Towns and cities are alerted to the presence of a foreinger by a complicated alert system, and then thanks to their phoenominal architechtual, and contruction skills, and where needed the quick erection of screens and sound cancellation technology, they create a "fake, fake Canada" to hide the truth about their society from the world, though the "fake" canadians are unsure of why they do this. Some say the idea to present a different image to the world is really an idea of the evil walrii.
The Mime Army, are the inept, forced military of the "Canada" the world knows. Actually members of a mime guild, they will not speak out about being forced to impersonate soldiers, because of their vow of silence, and the threat of murder at the hand of the Clown Death Squad. In cases where their voices must be heard the evil walrii use sound devices to speak for them, the emporer, and the rest of the "fake" canadaians do not know of the mime army's plight.
The whole of "Canada" is ruled by a self absorbed misogynistic wife-killing emporer, ruling by a weird truce agreement, he is allowed to murder his wives and have a castle, though he generally stays out of personal "fake" canadians' business, and they do not murder him, his duties are limited. Some say the Clown Death Squad came in just in time to prevent him from meeting his end, as most "fake" canadians are not looking to anger the Clown Death Squad.

I have my doubts that TreeFrogTrader would qualify to immigrate to Canada or even get a work visa. And we don't want his racist ass here. My bet if we had details some of these guys on here have been in and out of trouble their whole life and work in shit jobs. Strong chance he's done time at some point. Better then average chance he doesn't even have a high school diploma.
@gwb-trading Well, it is clear that what you purported to be facts were in fact not facts at all. Your facts have turned out to be simply political propaganda that had a specific motive and was misinformation.

Cascend: Data Shows Wind-Power Was Chief Culprit Of Texas Grid Collapse
- Wind failed as “Ice storms knocked out nearly half the wind-power generating capacity of Texas on Sunday as a massive deep freeze across the state locked up wind turbine generators, creating an electricity generation crisis."
- Natural gas made up the difference for a while
- But then everything else followed down
Some more detail from Cascend which lays out the events of this week in sequence:
- A massive cold snap drove demand for electricity well beyond normal levels
- Wind power failed to deliver it’s expected power – almost 40% of expected power – in part due to lack of winterized wind turbines
The folly of chasing renewable energy as a means of mitigating “climate change” is making itself abundantly clear today in Texas. When will politicians wake up and realize that renewable energy almost always equates to unreliable energy?
Since the article was from ZeroHedge, I wasn't sure the data was real. Here is something more official more-or-less confirming the data that wind-generated electricity declined before natural gas-generated electricity.

Of course the data doesn't mean the failures would have happened with proper winterization.
