    The #Choctaw and the# Irish have been connected for centruires. Both have been oppressed people, the Choctaw sent donations during the Irish Potato famine and the Irish helped during the trail of tears. If you are within driving distance of #Durant #Oklahoma, like #Dallas #texas, why not check out the Friendship Fest this weekend?

    For today's lunch, I'm trying #Whataburger. People from #Texas seem to think it is wonderful, but my experiences in #Louisiana were inconsistent. Maybe this location in #Alabama will be different.

    Having seen the 2017 "Great American Eclipse" from Cape Girardeau, #MO, I know that the four or five minutes of totality is worth all the effort it will take to get there. I do not know how worthwhile it will be to travel to see a partial or annular eclipse.

    #USGS reports M 5.3 #earthquake in western #Texas. 2022-11-16 21:32:44 UTC.

    It looks like 40-50 miles SSE of Carlsbad #NM and 60-70 miles W of Odessa #TX. No pager information (probably too small to be worth damage estimation).

    Slowly assembling the team that will work here. K is here, but not in my building. I and E in my building, but are each being sent to take over another one soon.

    Advance teams from another agency have shown up, but they (and most of around 50 other federal agencies) are preoccupied with #Louisiana right now. And I guess parts of #Texas, #Mississippi, #Alabama as well.

    So far, no familiar faces from other agencies, but I seeing people from $EMPLOYER that I haven’t seen in person since 2015, 2017, 2019.

    For my #Texas friends, you know who you are (because I have no idea).

    Interestingly, there's a move to switch major indoor appliances (stove, furnace, water heater) from natural gas to electric. I guess the #Texas experience says that may not be a good idea.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-blackouts-wind-turbines_n_602c4e16c5b62767c0aaa263 #TX blackouts are failures of all energy sources, not just wind and solar.

    Article’s point is not supported by data, neither is the pollies’ point.

    According to an #NPR broadcast last night, 40% of failed generation capacity was solar and wind and 60% was gas / oil / coal / nuclear ... but renewables are less than 40% of the total capacity. That means renewable sources failed at a higher proportion than other sources.

    But either way, *every* generation source had its own failures, and this doesn’t even count the inevitable downed power transmission lines due to ice.

    #Texas needs to take this opportunity to focus their attention on making their generation and transmission grid more reliable in every area.

    (And frankly, I think #California could also benefit from learning this and responding appropriately, as our homes are also thinly insulated, and Cal-ISO already struggles during high demand days.)

    1. Why A Powerful Winter Storm Caused Blackouts In Texas
      from HuffPost Canada
      Coal, natural gas and nuclear plants ― not wind turbines ― were the main cause. But right-wing misinformation proved more reliable than the grid itself.
