@sugapablo @NESpower Holy shit our power is back. And there is clearly a bird in our chimney, but at least our power is back!

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@NESpower focusing messaging on the number of customers restored, while important ignores what I feel is just as important a number on their outage map. The number of Active Events has remained pretty steady at around 5K for a while now.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@sugapablo @NESpower Perhaps, but then they will probably raise rates to pay for all the overtime needed to restore power. Though surely if that happens it will only be temporary 😂😭

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@sugapablo @NESpower Yup. Time will tell if there was gross negligence regarding preparedness. NES has failed miserably at communicating and people have literally died due to not having any information. Saying “restoration will take weeks��� rather than “power might be out a day or longer”.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@sugapablo @NESpower Think my pipes are OK. After 3 days of leaving water running I had our water main shut off as temps were plummeting and NES Power was proving no information on how long it would possibly be. So even after power is restored it may be another day or so before I have water.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@sugapablo @NESpower LOL. Yeah day 7 without power due to the massive ice storm. 230k+ without power when it started. Currently almost 40k still without. Estimated another week before all service is restored. Temps in single digits several days during this.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

Once the dust settles several people should be looking for new jobs based solely on the customer communication failures.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

This has been an absolute master class on how not to handle messaging in a crisis. Ignore providing useful info to your customers for almost a week, use the hardworking linemen as human shields on your social, flowery messaging to generate false hope.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@zoomie_cat @NESpower Not all of it, that's for sure.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@NESpower Not a single person in Nashville is questioning the line workers who are busting their asses to get power restored. Posts like this that still give zero information to the impacted customers seem like piss poor PR. Give us some useful information like you promised yesterday.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@NESpower Clearly manpower isn’t the issue. An antiquated/kludgy grid, broken process, something else? Day 1 explanations and expectations such as “Unprecedented storm” and “days or longer” are no longer acceptable. Your lack of transparency and accountability from leadership is wretched.

Today is the 10 Year Anniversary of Too Many Cooks airing at like 3am scaring the crap out of people who were up late and stoned watching Adult Swim

It’s the weirdest project I’ve ever done and I’m proud I got be part of such an insane and iconic video🔪

@TheLightSpeedz @BambulabGlobal They are automatically converting them to points according to the last update. Had the same thing happen too.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@BambulabGlobal While I appreciate the transparency for the growing pains you are experiencing, I've had a ticket open fory X1C for 10 days with nothing other than an automated response. Kind of unacceptable no matter how you cut it.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@meampongan @Temple_Gates Accurate.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@TheLightSpeedz The open source side of me loves this response by them. When I first got my Bambu, I was hoping this would be an option. That said, I've been so happy with this printer, I'm with you, I don't want to give up my warranty especially when the printer already covers my use cases.

[Michael Mariaskin @mmariaskin]

@TheLightSpeedz Honestly the Bambu has been a breath of fresh air from the days of modding almost everything. Only mod I've done was on the wiper since too much PETG poop was ending up on the plate.

[Drainmaker @TheDrainmaker]

Look at these motherfuckers. 😭

I'm not a big fan of reality shows but I would definitely watch one about Juice Robinson & Toni Storm 😂
