    Yup. When stationed in Texas it would be 35 in the morning and 80 plus in the afternoon. Not unusual. What is unusual is the swing of just a few degrees by the presence of the polar vortex which keeps it below freezing for an extended period. We in the north call their temps a warm spell. But our pipes are buried below the frost line and all gas lines are insulated or have heat tape.

    it’s more expensive to live up north in the winter because of adjustments we have to make. In Texas, its much cheaper not to do this stuff.....but when it happens, they’re fked and suffering and dying. Really, it’s their choice from here on out. Vote in science and pay more, or take a chance and face death every few years. We made that decision long ago.

    Go for it show me the studies from accredited universities and climate research facilities. Cause far right think tanks ARE NOT SCIENCE. I’m waiting. You should have a whole list to countrr 3400 universities who all agree with AGW...still waiting.

    I’m going with NASA to start. Do you have anyone more prestigious then them ? Still waiting....

    Tell me where I’m wrong. Give me the correct information. You accuse me, back it up.

    Nice straw man argument. Well, not really. This is why I don't trust people on message boards - you're arguing with a point I never made.

    I have, and I wish you armchair "scientists" would quit talking down to people who are actually better educated than you are. You are not talking about "science", you are talking about politics.

    Texas does need to make adjustments. I saw lack of preparedness when I lived in Phoenix too. In the mountains, we learn quickly.

    You have to be kidding me. It’s a web sight and a story written by a contributor. I ask you for a credible source in SCINCE not a blog

    It’s not even a news paper. There is nothing related to science whatsoever. This is a joke. Next time get real.

    Why can’t you find anything from any fov agency or I stuttered of higher leaning. Are you afraid.

    It’s the people’s responsibility. The state regulates and coordinates the power system. They are totally responsible through their elected officials. it’s whom they voted for.

    It’s completely in the hands of the voters.
    Ercot.......
    “is regulated by the Texas Public Utility Commission, a three-member body appointed by the governor and overseen by the state legislature. Ercot,.”

    You’ve made no points what so ever.
    I’m arguing nothing. Check the nasa web site
    Check the aaas web site

    If you have a problem.

    Free of what? Free from what? Are you saying that masking-up in the middle of a deadly worldwide pandemic that has (checks notes, sighs) killed nearly 2.5 (2.462, to be exact at this moment) MILLION people across the world, over 500,000 of them alone in the USA, is somehow taking away our freedom? Seriously?

    Your last sentence is totally open-ended and therefore impossible to interpret without more information.

    That is a true sign of undeniable debate weakness, to put it graciously.

    What are your credentials? Speaking as an actual scientist, I'm curious what brand of educated would make such dumb comments.

    You seem to be quite upset, particularly with me. You also seem very upset that I did not answer you right away. Hmmm, fascinating....

    So, expecting and wanting most of the things you wrote about is not bad at all. But that's not what we have been talking about.

    It's how someone like Mr. Dr. Sir Rushed Limballz deliberately maligned entire groups of people in order to rile up anger among fellow haters that actually, when you look at it, kept him from achieving his goals - that is what I have been referring to.

    Also interesting to note is that virtually everyone on both the Left, Right and Middle wants the things you described. Only, people see differing ways of getting there.

    So, I've now spent enough time replying to you....

    I answered you. I answer when I wish to, at a time and place of my choosing.

    Guess what that is called.

    Are you ready??

    Seriously, are you ready???

    Lean in, I will whisper it to you:





































































































    It's called:




























































































    FREEDOM and LIBERTY!!!!

    That is the very same FREEDOM and LIBERTY that I wish for you and everyone else here.



    Thank you for attending today's TedTalk.

    Now, back to Mr. Sir Dr. Rude Limpballz terrible behavior whilst he was still among the living. I hope he brought some SPF 1000 sunblocker with him, where he is headed. He is likely going to need it, nöööööö.

    And he expects us to believe he doesn't know that.

    One must conclude that Ditto Heads just don't give a damn. That or they are so wrapped up in hate and bigotry that they can't even see it anymore.

    Does anyone really believe the trump-ditto wing dumb act anymore? "Oh! Rush said mean things? I NEVER heard it. Or he was just being funny..."

    BS! The trump wing is just one big gaslighting operation now.
