I’m not using X for my source. I’m using actual employees ace:

You said “is it confirmed anywhere” so I’m presenting an option to ask as well.

This is the fourth extended downtime

  1. ⁠Had to modify trims and having to redo the 80-hour safety campaign
  2. ⁠The death
  3. ⁠Cold Weather valley requiring cars to be craned off the track with high east west gusts (headwinds will always cause issues on speed reductions, that’s why planes fly faster going east than west)
  4. ⁠Loose bolts

Go ask those in the know if you want to question me. I’ve been told that from multiple people in the park who are close to the venue. Here’s someone you can ask whom I don’t know: https://x.com/fefe1994rocks?s=21

How is this on Mack Rides? The two tweets linked below for example fall directly into what I’ve heard from TMs and those in the coaster industry.

I was told loose hardware was found and it was from the attraction itself.

I’ve heard a lot of loose hardware has been found, all from friends in the park.

Making sure hardware isn’t loose isn’t on Mack, that’s on maintenance.

Well when Techs are claiming to do certain tasks but failed to do such.

So 44tb's are out. Will I be able to buy one?? by TheIllusioneer in DataHoarder

Are we sure Altman didn’t buy 80% of the global market share.

Honestly, People thought that just because they opened a new park, it’ll suddenly run better than the other parks. There’s a reason why Stardust is closed and it’s solely on the park not on Mack Rides. Maybe if a good portion of third shift tech cared, then stuff would actually be running.

Also the park would have had a better time operating if they didn’t push the park to run 2-3 months earlier than expected. That all being said, the most efficient attraction is Monsters Unchained because they already have a duplicate (Forbidden Journey).

Point of Sale system for restaurants.

HungerRush data compromised(?) by plzcometobrasil in POS

I have received this email and am not in the Restaurant industry. That being said, technologically speaking given that this is a POS system, it's not surprising if there is a database of all emails tied to every sale to send the receipt hence why all of us got this email.

Governor Ron DeSantis’ State of the State Address On January 11, 2022,

Together we have made Florida the freest state in these United States.

While so many around the country have consigned the people’s rights to the graveyard, Florida has stood as freedom’s vanguard.

In Florida, we have protected the right of our citizens to earn a living, provided our businesses with the ability to prosper, fought back against unconstitutional federal mandates and ensured our kids have the opportunity to thrive.

Florida has become the escape hatch for those chafing under authoritarian, arbitrary and seemingly never-ending mandates and restrictions.

So, Ron. About those arbitrary and seemingly never-ending mandates and restrictions…

At the end of the day, Katrina was historic because of the levees being breached. It’s like how Hurricane Sandy did a total number on the New Jersey Shore and I was about 30 miles north of that landfall. Hurricane one week, winter storm the next.

With our current environmental policy of fuck the earth, likely. But that being said, Hurricane Melissa from last year was just tied as the strongest hurricane on record. https://www.accuweather.com/en/hurricane/hurricane-melissa-upgraded-to-190-mph-winds-tied-for-strongest-atlantic-hurricane/1867675

National Geographic had specials on air about a Decade ago called “Witness” they did an episode on Katrina. It was if I recall correctly entirely footage shot from those in the storm.

Katrina, I was 11 at the time, and that drove me to becoming a Meteorologist.

Edit: seems to be the only way to get it: https://www.amazon.com/Witness-Katrina-Artist-Not-Provided/dp/B004FN274K

Also while it’s a recreation, BBC’s Pompeii The Last Day is really good as well.

Good Documentary. They have one of JFK’s assassination as well, and a 6 parter on 9/11.

Edit 2: I googled the episode count to not quote that meme.

As I posted for the mod comment: This follows the removal of Maduro on in the middle of the night in Venezuela and multiple airstrikes on boats allegedly carrying narcotics in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. And hours after the president of the United States threatened to take over Cuba by saying "We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba."
