    Make sure your checkbook is ready and well cooled so that it doesn’t overheat.

    They won’t tell you that your lawsuit is frivolous in the extreme until AFTER you pay them. Depends on how good they are, but the lawyers I frequent charge about $1,000/hr.

    Not to change the subject but why are you frequenting lawyers? I mean like if you said brothels I would understand but lawyers, that's pretty freaky.

    Thank you, I get all that I need at home for that. Anyone frequenting brothels is a total loser in the game of life IMO.

    I only frequent lawyers as friends and acquaintances.

    We're not all beautiful and personable like you.

    Once again. These are guidelines. Nowhere does it state that a utility can be required by law to shut off power.

    To mitigate against wildfires, the law has authorized the use of de-energization otherwise known as Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) by the utilities. This is a mutually agreed upon method of mitigation.

    This is included in the utility's plan which is mandated by law and approved by the commission. The utility's compliance with this plan is assessed by a independent evaluator. The commission shall assess penalties on the utility that fails to substantially comply with its plan.

    So if a utility doesn't use PSPS and a wildfire subsequently occurs, well guess what happens to the utility? So in his situation, the utility is more likely than not to use PSPS to minimize risks.

    Well, as of Saturday evening PG&E is saying 99% of power has been restored. They say that the lines have to be inspected before power can be restored, and they can only be inspected during the day. If this is going to be the new practice during fire season then they need to come up with an automated line inspection method so they can quickly restore power.

    Inspectors are hard at work as we speak...

    W.Va. would be cool. General Yeager and Randy Moss are from there! I am just going to Arizona though.

    The only good things that ever came from Arizona are Barry Goldwater and Toni Tennille.

    If not WVA, I think you'd like Vermont. You'd fit right in. :|

    Once again... the utility makes the decision, not the PUC.

    What you fail to understand is that they really don't have a choice.
    They are not in a position to do otherwise under the conditions they are in.

    You mean you have to buy friends and acquaintances to the tune of a grand a pop!?! How sad.

    Why is it that people no longer use the word "frequent" in proper context?

    Everything is back to normal in Northern CA, but I guess it is still a fiery mess in Southern CA. Turns out that the wind did cause some incidents up here that resulted in down power lines. However, since the power was off there were no fires. Of course, it is unknown whether there would have been a fire if the power was still on. The discussion now is if it was necessary to kill power in such a large area, or if it could have been a smaller area. Anyway, since the climate is changing and each year there will be less rain, and a longer fire season, we need to change how power is distributed to lessen the impact of these shut offs.

    Seven pages of this stuff, and @BlueFox didn’t even have to sacrifice a single night of beer or listening pleasure. I’m actually rather jealous that he is able to find that much time to just listen and enjoy on such wonderful equipment...

    That is until you find out what he is listening to....



    j/k Bud - couldn't resist :smiley:

    It depends how old they are, if you try to frequent me I will belt you one but in a few years I will probably have to roll over and take it. Then we won't be friends.

    I only need the one damsel in residence (and not only is she definitely off limits, but being of a sporty inclination, she can take down any man with her bare hands, if the need arises). If you choose the right one, such is the way of things.

    In God we trust, personally I prefer to pay in cash instead of houses. And I don't want no woman that can whoop my **** because that cost extra.

    ...and make their policy and laws, but that's swinging into politics which we should avoid.

    Unfortunately one would think that when it comes to these sort of things, politics/agendas should take a back seat to fixing the problem first.

    If California wants federal money to fix this, then in my opinion at least show some good faith in doing everything you can on your own first. Make an effort...because on the face, they are asking for everyone else to help pay, while they hand out free stuff left and right.

    Is that asking too much ? I don't think so....and certainly California isn't the only state asking such things.

    It's the lack of logic to pursue agendas. You and I have it here in Illinois too. I just can't tell ya how bad Peoria is falling apart. People are leaving here left and right. Homeowners received a notice last week the we're on the hook for $35 a year to fund the lagging city pension fund. Roads here are some of the worst in the state and we're spending a million bucks for solar for the park district.

    Last year the city spent 300 plus grand for a consulting company to tell us what roads are bad. It's like remodeling your whole home inside and yet the roof still leaks.

    Knew a guy years back that didn't frequent them but visited one maybe once or twice a month. Told me it was cheaper than his previous wife. In my eyes he was a WINNER monetarily! :D

    Yea it's schittshow. I can't believe they hooked you up to pay for the pensions that you already paid for ....aaagain. I'm sure many more will be doing the same thing soon.

    Let’s see:

    1) The state of California really doesn’t care about the people who actually live some place with an address and actually pays taxes.
    2) The power companies don’t realize that there could be high winds, even though that this has only occurred regularly for at least the last 1,000 years.
    3) Since high winds have occurred the last 1,000 years, clearing away stuff that can burn isn’t really necessary, because it probably will never happen again.
    4) The people who live in California are generally nice, but they’re complete morons for voting for people who have made this situation possible.
    5) Aferburnt hates everybody and maybe 20 people can tolerate him. Haven’t actually seen an actual poll on this, just a guess.
    6) Bluefox didn’t need a go fund me account, because the steaks survived the power shut downs

    I think looking at the big picture, Bluefox should crank up the music, get some adult beverages of his choice, build a fire and cook some steaks, whilegnoring every law, rule, and regulation that says he can’t do it.

    I’ll chip in 20 for the new go fund me account.
