| Topic | Welp, power is out |
| CableZL 02/17/21 12:01:17 AM #127 | loafy013 posted... Yup, totally the wind turbines fault. Even though they provide maybe 15% of the power, it is all their fault. Not the other 85% that comes from gas and coal. Nope, strictly that damn green energy.I wasn't saying that all this was the wind turbines' fault. I was just adding that the wind turbines were frozen in addition to what the poster I quoted mentioned. My car is fully electric and doesn't emit carbon monoxide. --- |

I'm charging my car right now, but checking to see if any food place is still open. Probably not going to find anything. --- |

| CableZL 02/16/21 8:44:12 AM #8 | littlebro07 posted... The wind farms in Iowa seem to do fine when they get this weather every yearThey prepare those for cold weather better up there. Texas' stance in this regard has been "It'll never get this cold so who cares." --- |

| Topic | Question for those who have an air fryer |
| CableZL 02/16/21 2:38:05 AM #17 | MabusIncarnate posted... I don't get the "harder to clean" part, remove the basket from the main tray, put both in the dishwasher.The first one I bought for myself was a bit difficult to clean. The tray had a mechanism where you can shake the contents without opening it, but it had 3 screws that you needed to remove to separate the part that shakes from bottom piece in order to fully clean it. The one I have now is super simple, though. It just has 2 parts you take out without having to unscrew anything and you clean them. --- |

| CableZL 02/16/21 1:59:16 AM #80 | emblem boy posted... Man, it's really bad out there isn't it. I live in Austin, but been in Cali for work since last week, so I've completely missed the bad weather. I've gotten emails from my complex saying the power is down and shitYeah, I've never seen these kinds of conditions. I'm debating just sleeping in my car at this Supercharger, but I'd rather be at home as much as possible. I need to get a 12V power inverter so I can work from my car without worrying about battery life. If I can find one of those tomorrow, then I can do pretty well just being in my car. --- |
