Wow, a form. I can see why this took so long.

There’s a project manager somewhere drinking doubles and checking their phone every 3 minutes.

At this point we have statements from IBEW, SEIU, and the TN AFL-CIO confirming that the rumors of union avoidance in recovery efforts are FALSE.

People are justifiably pissed. Misleading them will not help us recover.

Why is this number going up? It was down to 105k this morning, and it was just at 117k before I took this screenshot. Why are we going in the wrong direction?

Hypothetically, if we buried 20% of our lines, that's 20% fewer outages in a storm like that. That's a 20% faster rate of power coming back on for those that are affected. A major difference. I know those percentages wouldn't translate perfectly, but the point remains the same.

This is also not an all or nothing proposition. Every buried line is a win over what we have now. Meaningful progress could make a huge difference, doesn't have to be 100% coverage.

My front yard. Glad it missed both the house and the power lines.

Lost a tree in our front yard. We are in Glengarry, near BNA.

Get a number from him. How many officers can we fire if we add this surveillance tech?

I think I can guess the number.

Totally get it, I just mean I think there are less people that want to pay a robot, at least I hope so. But yeah, first reply was poorly worded.

Agree with this, but I think the circle on the left is much smaller.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

It does appear to be laying beside a butt. I assume that’s a pillow? But it looks like a butt.

We have a bottle of this if you’d like to try it. I can say unequivocally that we will never bring it close to our lips again.
