Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Fun fact, there are 3 major power grids in the lower 48 united states': the Eastern Interconnection, Western Interconnection, and Texas.

Another fun fact: The failure of one of those grids resulted in over 200 people freezing to death. Guess which one!

Yeah that's the irony, Texas wouldn't even need to secede to fuck up its power grid.
