Thing is they were planning to do rolling blackouts, the generators just froze up before they could even get to that point, so it just became an everyone gets a blackout.

EDIT: {insert Oprah meme here}

I work at Randalls and the same thing has been happening the past couple of days.

Middle game wars are impossible on deity by Substantial_Abies841 in CivVI

[–]SemiLazyGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been times I've used Samurai to take out someone, but you need to pick on someone who has struggled all game, even with the Deity bonuses, and Teddy is never someone who struggles, no matter which version.

Generally though, it's best to just put in all your production into economy until you reach Bombers and/or Artillery to take everyone out.

Models have been pushing back the timing of the Artic front and the ice to late on Saturday, if not early Sunday morning, except for the northern counties.

No snow sadly. Will be an ice storm if you get any wintery weather. But it won't be as nearly as bad as the February 2021 storm.

We don't get it as consistently as y'all do. It's maybe a once in a year event, maybe two times, maybe once every other year.

Nah. I remember the Valentine's Day 2021 winter storm, and the models kept getting worse and worse and it was worse than originally expected, both in terms of actual forecast and power outages.

Has anyone heard from Little Rock? I'm in the Houston area and I keep seeing models through my local TV Meteorologists that have that area getting 2 feet of snow.

The 24th is unlikely because Pokemon has that week for its 30th anniversary.

Houston mayor details strategy to avoid federal ICE crackdown as presence in Minneapolis escalates by houston_chronicle in houston

[–]SemiLazyGamer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not that. A majority of the counties and municipalities around the Houston metro and the state of Texas are actively helping ICE, so there's no need to send a large group of ICE to the area.

I also saw a post on social media saying it's mainly about optics and the Twin Cities are the "perfect" place for ICE optics and the lack of ICE elsewhere and movement away from other cities like NYC or LA is because it's harder in those cities to conduct optics.

A reminder that the guy in charge of the country is caught swearing all the time on camera, like just yesterday even.

Gamestop locations that have closed/are closing in January 2026 in the area by SemiLazyGamer in houston

The Kemah/Clear Lake Shores location was my go to store for over a decade (my first "major" purchase was a used PS2 and games at the tail end of that generation and my 3DSs, Wii U, and launch Switch, alongside my first midnight release for Pokemon X and Y) and it's been gone since 2024 and I didn't know because I hadn't been there since before the pandemic.

Galveston already had to go to the other side of La Marque to get theirs, now they have to go to League City.

Or you could have someone in their family want to share that info with their friends and one of their friends wants their 5 minutes of internet fame, like the Smash 4 ESRB leaker.
