Do you guys even know how many people sign up for couples therapy because one of them doesn’t want to fuck anymore and it’s legitimately this? Get out of my office
Have no opinion on the whole “wearing a bands merch to their show” debate but it 100% rocks when a guy buys a shirt at the table and then puts it on over his other shirt
As we begin Day 6/7 of zero heat and power for 300,000+ Nashville residents, here are the key takeaways from yesterday’s NES press conference:
1. You’re not getting an estimate of when power will be restored because they have no idea (!!);
2. Essentially all reporter questions were avoided and evaded with useless corporate-speak about “working hard,” “safety is paramount,” “unprecedented circumstances,” “we’ll get that to you”.
3. As of yesterday, NES had not even finished assessing which poles and lines are causing the outages. Only 80% of outages assessed. That failure to complete the assessment quickly is why they can’t tell you specifics, eg “your area has X broken poles and is expected to take Y days”.
4. From NES’ refusal to answer, it’s obvious that linemen were in fact turned away. The reason is what I’ve discussed in prior posts: namely, NES failed to have sufficient number of contractors trained up on the complexity of our grid. Unfamiliar linemen simply can’t be used because even now “trained crews” still have to be paired up with a technical lead and there are only so many of those employed. That’s why so many linemen are sitting in trucks in parking lots waiting to be assigned out.
5. Probably most infuriating was NES’ refusal to admit obvious fact that communication with the public has been atrocious. When pressed, the CEO essentially blamed Mother Nature for the comms failures (the storm’s size “has really challenged us”). It’s the storm’s fault y’all!
For you lucky few with wifi, I’ve included the link to the press conference in thread and reporter questions begin at the 8:32 mark.
