Not my job but maybe have a chat with Minnesota or Wisconsin. Any place that doesn't lose all power in the winter, like what seems to happen in TX again and again. Maybe better maintain what they currently have - trim trees near the lines etc. I'm pretty sure they have people they pay to solve these issues. But like I said, it's up to them to focus on this issue rather than making sure guns have more rights than women and ensuring everyone is safe from the menace that is anything non-christian and straight. Making improvements in their power grid isn't what I hear from TX leaders these days... except when the power is out.

They have the cheaper Nord line now.

….alien radio!?

get a midrange redmi phone. unlock bootloader. flash lineageos.

I phones are made in China. Motorola is a Chinese phone company.

Yeah buy an iphone instead, they only collect 90% of the data. Or a Samsung that collects 89%.

OnePlus phones haven’t been cheap anymore since more than a few years now

For the average tourist, I wouldn’t think the chance would be worth mentioning?

China has really amazing geography. It's just a shame that you have a slightly higher chance of being disappeared there than most other asian tourist destinations.

“I feel like part of what I’m paid for is my loyalty. But if there’s someplace that values loyalty more, I’ll go wherever they value loyalty the highest.”

For me it’s… we’ll certainly not too, but much higher. I’m not American, so my perspective may be different… I don’t care for their government, of course, but I also don’t plan on visiting them.

Your tax dollars at work! Remember these cold nights when the next election rolls around.

There's not much you can do about the damage from ice storms. Even if you bury the lines, if a tree falls over near the line it can pull up and break the lines. When they are underground, they are even harder to repair.

What do you propose that they do differently?

Must admit that "holiday in China" wasn't at the top of my list.

Maybe if you made your laptops more affordable I would buy one instead of constantly repairing and working on my 6 year old one.

Do you mean like … the freedom phone ?

"Dont buy a phone in China..."

Ok.

Was this writen by an AI (or American) trying to sound British? Way too many "boffins" to be natural, I think.

Oh we have them, our power grid just isn’t so shitty that we can’t consistently withstand them. Texans are forever voting against their better interests though 🤷‍♂️

Look man

My metal murder dick keeps me free

also, it's a metal dick that murders

You’re in a recession now. Sorry to point it out

Problem with that approach is that macos sucks and no matter how much you spend the OS always feels laggy and slow

We don’t take kindly to ur kind round here. Now get ya hear!
