That said, I don't care either way tbh. :I I just feel bad for anyone caught in the middle of all this. Not like they should or can do my North Pole extreme weather proofing thick walls/triple panes crap

It's more about greed than politics, but certainly political as well.
A thing can be many things, greed is at the base of this one.
Government should pay it, has nothing to do with greed.

FFXI analogy:
If there is a bug on the Auction house that you can choose to take advantage of, and you get all the HMP for free should you be mad when nobody bothers to farm anymore after that?
Maybe the farmers are just greedy though.
Power plant workers are not going to turn up if they don't get paid for all this overtime they are putting in to make sure everyone has power, they will just go home and look after their family. Only reason they goto work under these conditions is because they calculate the money is worth more to their family than their presence.
If there was a hurricane the gooberment would step in with aid packages, how is this any different. It's a once in a lifetime occurrence.

*shows image of guilt-inducing clickbait articles* I hope you didn't think I meant I didn't care about it. I did think that! you monster!
now the fact you backpeddled means I still think it even harder! monster+1!
(this has been your moment of anti-zen, typical P&R-behavior edition)
FFXI analogy:
If there is a bug on the Auction house that you can choose to take advantage of, and you get all the HMP for free A few questions for this theoretical-sandorian (because of course)
-Does it dupe current existing stock or take stuff people farmed and not pay them?
-if yes, Am I the only person knowing it, so the economy is unaffected if I keep part A of 1 off the market etc
-I can just keep them off AH and make new empy weapons?
-How many empy weapons do I have at 90 retired already?
-Do I have any strikes on this theoretical account?

Faking getting pulled into half of a backflip from being pulled by your ponytail takes talent so i still respect them as actors and gymnasts

Indeed, say what you will about being fake, but it's still a feat of athleticism.

It's more about greed than politics, but certainly political as well.
A thing can be many things, greed is at the base of this one. Government should pay it, has nothing to do with greed. The isolated Texas power grid has EVERYTHING to do with greed.
The $1K / KWhr bills are merely a reflection of the structure of that grid.
I could take a deep dive into the genesis of the Texas grid but it would be fairly political. And even worse, delve deeply into economics.
P. S. Speaking of Texas and economics, has anyone heard from KN lately?

KN is on a vacation from being allowed to post, for dipshittery in the Chinese new year thread.

No human being has ever sent a text celebrating a Cincinnati Bengals playoff win.
Last time they won a playoff game: January 6, 1991
First SMS text message in human history: December 3, 1992

Don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Ohio's a pretty sad place.
Cleveland Indians are currently the longest drought for a championship in MLB, and I believe in all American Sports. They last won in 1948. Prior to 2016, it was the Chicago Cubs by a MILE. Wins in 1907, 1908.....and then nada until 2016.

Alas, our ownership group decided one ring was enough and sought ways to profit instead of you know, winning more, which would have, shockingly, increased profits.

Do any human being still use SMS for message anyway? Um, yeah. All the time.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
