    Donald Trump saw thousands of them celebrating as the power went out. Thousands were cheering.

    A riot and act of terrorism are two totally different things. Both are bad, but it’s ok to acknowledge the obvious differences.

    A riot typically involves alot of people, not all with nearly the same culpability, some may have felony level involvement, others might have minor property damage crimes or no culpability at all in any criminality. A terror attack is usually planned and carried out by an individual or small group against a specific target - with the specific aim of sowing chaos. I guess you could say a riot could include acts of terrorism, but I wouldn’t call it that (nor would any prosecutor likely charge it) unless there was evidence of a plot against a specific target.

    Propane would be a better choice to fuel a generator. You’ll gain about 15% more power and you’ll burn half as much fuel per hour vs NG. Imagine have 2-3 days more power. Of course if you already have your house plumbed for NG, then you can’t go wrong with NG, IMO. …carry on!

    And a large LP tank at your house is insulated from any supply or delivery issues that could affect NG.

    Doesnt propane require a big tank ? How well does it age if you don’t need it for long periods at a time?

    NG is now considered a reliable source by state of Florida and AHCA. Ive done 3 AHCA certified projects in the last couple of years that all installed NG generators fed by the gas lines in the area. None of them had problems with fuel supply post Ian

    I have a 150 gallon on the side of my house, it’s about 5 ft long and 2ft diameter.
    Supplies dryer, range, one furnace. Use about 16 gallons in 6 months. Dryer gets used a ton with 3 teens.

    Easy to go bigger for a genny.
    Don’t believe it looses any real “power” with aging.

    They typically bury them. If properly done it becomes your grandchildren’s problem.

    You can use a 20lb, 30lb, but a bigger 100-500lb will obviously last longer. This also depends on your generator size. Bigger generators require more lb/hr. You have more options available to you with Propane. Propane doesn't expire.

    Wasn’t being flippant. I was asking for a link or article referencing any evidence. Shooting at substations is not new as I posted an article from 2013 about it

    I don’t think there is any public evidence pointing to anyone yet.

    We don't have a specific individual, although I wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Rainey does. But otherwise, we are as agnostic about the motivation as we are about the motivation of whoever planted the pipe bombs outside DNC and RNC HQ on 1/6. Occam's Razor

    So it sounds like Rainey is saying she knew because I guess God told her he did it?

    I wonder how many undercover FBI agents are having to order drag outfits.

    That's funny. And she plainly at least wants everyone to think that she was part of it, using the opportunity to go on Bannon. That would normally justify a search warrant as a witness, at a minimum. But in this case, at least so far, it looks like praying together with the Sheriff and saying God told you is sufficient.



    BTW, totally OT, but in very strict Catholic theology (not me), you cannot "pray with" someone unless you are in Communion with them. You can "pray alongside", but not with. Tons of digital outrage ink have been spread over this. Those of us in the Catholic culture wars were forever scarred by the possibility that you might be disciplined by a conservative Bishop if you engage in interdenominational prayer. From Wiki, although it only alludes to the intense controversy - note the careful wording

    Pope John Paul II organized the first World Day of Prayer for Peace in Assisi, Italy, on October 27, 1986. In all there were 160 religious leaders who spent the day together with fasting and praying to their God or Gods. They represented 32 Christian religious organizations and 11 other non-Christian world religions,


    Pope John Paul II's successor and former aide, Pope Benedict XVI, travelled to Assisi on October 27, 2011 for an ecumenical discussion to commemorate the 1986 meeting, but there was no single interdenominational prayer service. Benedict felt that, while such gatherings are good, one cannot give the impression – even externally, interpreted by others – that theological differences have been reduced or are not consequential.

    I am also curious about the "God works in mysterious ways" angle here. Maybe it went like this:

    "Hmmm, well I did give these humans free will, which is why I allowed suffering by slavery, rape, murder, war, starvation, and diseases. But this drag show is just too much. What to do about it.....lol, I'll cut off the electricity that people rely upon for their health and safety. That's the ticket."
