He looked like he was going to die at any minute the way he screamed and raved at people from his studio.

Resetting some access points before heading home. Only got half of my to-do list done today.

In Ohio it's just another winter day for us. Texas and other southern states are just not prepared for this sort of weather, because it really doesn't make sense for them when this sort of thing happens so infrequently.
@siringo How's your summer going?

All Hands company meeting today, working with our EVP of HR in Austin getting her on cellular Internet for Teams. Teams is actually very responsive on a very low bandwith connection kind of surprised!

While I agree us Northern states system's are prepared for this kind of cold weather it still sucks! For people in the Southern states like Texas its completely unacceptable that the infrastructure isn't prepared for this sort of an weather issue.
Texas in particular was warned and suggested to winterize their infrastructure but for whatever the reasoning they didn't.

We have power! And water! And now I have coffee and my office is warming up so that I can go sit at my desk for the first time in many days.

Yeah, and the commission is trying to make excuses like they shouldn't have to be prepared for this or that it wouldn't be worth it.

It's not THAT infrequent, that's the thing. Every apartment building uses that excuse, but this is like the fifth time we've had an event that causes buildings to get destroyed by not being built correctly. That's every two to three years!
WHile this cold snap was severe, it's not THAT severe. It's only the fourth worst in 150 years, very far from a record. It's bad, but not unexpected. And with climate change, that weather will be more dynamic and severe is expected. So this is absolutely anything but a surprise.

It was mentioned on the news this morning that ERCOT was specific formed and the grid kept separated so that Texas did not have to meet certain Federal power regulations. Some of which would have likely prevent much of this cluster fuck.

TL;DR - Texas "Hold my beer!!"

I think the Groundhog did this! He said there would be 6 more weeks of winter, and Texas said, "Hold my beer! We can do this in 6 days"

This week in TX reminds me of a normal February growing up. You shoveled out, and went to school. Of course, back then we had to walk up hill in both directions.
When we hit temps like this, my body reminds me why it has been so happy at these more southern latitudes.
Unlike many in this area, we have been lucky. No power issues and plenty of food.

To live without power or snow or incompetent government officials?

Fixed a Unifi AP today over the phone.
My coworker told me to go on site so I called the guy.
10 minutes later, AP is online -
@WrCombs That works.

@travisdh1 summer is going well, in the middle of a hot spell ATM, 100F today expected.
It's been strange weather, just like all over the world. The past few eeks have settled own a bit, but prior to that we'd get a week and half of 70s, dipping into the high 60s, then BAM, 105, then followed by 70 to high 60s.Went out and looked at the sky the other evening. The clouds were really screwed up, I don't really know much about clouds, but there were about 5 different sorts, even ones bent into S's.
Climate change is going to make COVID look like a weak common cold I fear.
