I like to ping my CA friends when I hear about rolling blackouts or grid strain. It's pretty fair after all their "hurr durr deregulation bad Texas has shit power" talk they sometimes send.
And even the 2020 blackouts were pretty mild. Affecting only a small percentage of californians, and for about an hour, and about 10 minutes on the two recorded occasions in 2020.
Indeed they were small, I think I was out about 3 hrs, but was close enough to coast temps were already down to 80 ish.
Planned PSP outages, that's another story. I think we were dark for 4 days in fall 2019
2001 was the last time i was impacted but google is telling me there were some in 2020
How many pings before you no longer have those friends?
Idk I put up with the same from them? Friends put up with making fun of each other and don't get butthurt like that.
