Seems like a lot of people want a scapegoat for a problem that could never possibly have been one person's responsibility.
And if you think about it, it's hundreds of thousands of people's fault
But that doesn't make for a nice finger-pointing PR game.
I've got a laundry list of reasons to hate any C-suite on earth, but I'm not gonna blame the CEO for an IT issue (even if it's an IT-type company)
Centralized systems cause widespread problems when they fail. I learned this lesson as a child playing RTS games whenever my power plants got attacked. Don't rely on one spot (or one company/product) for everything or your whole base will go down (or your computer systems crash and burn)
Spoken like someone who doesn't even know how a household battery works and has absolutely no idea how they're different than this who just wanted to be contrary.
Not OP, and I could be completely wrong on how these specific things work, but it seems to me like they work as a rudimentary voltaic pile:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile
Take a look at the diagram, and imagine a metal alloy or even little bits of metal close to each other, and imagine the electrolyte is seawater.
It's a super basic accidental nature battery.
Just wait until you hear about basic accidental nature nuclear reactors... And no, I'm not joking.
So Republicans fully support a white republican female as president?
Where is this candidate?
Oh right they're still on the "old white guy" train and it's not about skin color or gender beyond their racism and sexism.
I already need a second hand to count the number of times I've heard people saying "she used to be a prostitute" in public or at work, while also not remembering WHO said that, where they heard it from, or any sort of evidence to back it up beyond "I just pulled this out of my ass because she's a woman and that's what I associate women with"
My in-laws are bitching about the heat and how it's driving their electric bill up to keep their massive extremely-windowed house cool.
My in-laws also refuse to plant trees in their massive, empty, flat, baby-shit-green lawn because it "ruins the view".... Of the road. And their neighbors house. And the tips of the trees behind the neighbors house.
They also refuse to get new windows, because their 30 year old windows aren't broken. they don't need curtains because they got tired of changing them every season and holiday with themed festive or otherwise-coordinated-with-mood colors... And of course awnings would just make the whole house look ugly, because a large beige rectangle would just look so much worse with awnings...
I get not wanting to spend thousands on new installations, up-front costs are a bitch.
"High in the North in a land called Svithjod there is a mountain. It is a hundred miles long and a hundred miles high and once every thousand years a little bird comes to this mountain to sharpen its beak. When the mountain has thus been worn away a single day of eternity will have passed."
My highschool hasn't seen a snow day in about 5 years, and we had several years where they had to extend the school year from so many snow days.
The lake nearby froze over solid enough when my dad was a teenager, he and his brothers would drive on the ice for fun donuts without worrying about the tires. It hasn't frozen over since I was a child.
The summers of my childhood rarely topped 95, but now not only is that the new "average", it's gotten to 90s in the middle of winter multiple times in the last ten years.
Recently saw a thermometer over 100, which based on temperature records, that only happened a handful of times from 1900-2000.
Never thought I'd see the day where, when it comes down to it, JaBles shows he has no spine and folds like the cheap suit his character wore in school of rock.
I've seen almost that exact sight so many times...
For a second I thought it was 2012 again and I was curled up under my blanket with some hot chocolate to play skyrim and watch some cartoons.
And I was in my 20s.
