So the roll angle varies depending on the time of the launch? I never knew that.

Houston runs the water plant. Has nothing to do with Texas state government, no matter how much this site wishes.

Both the main transformer and the backup transformer blew. How exactly could the water plant be more "proactive"? The point of having the backup is that you can use the main transformer for it's full service life, and replace it when it actually fails. This was a freak occurrence.

The water plant IS run by the city of Houston. And it was fixed in 24 hours, and there is no contamination in the water. This story is a nothing burger.

There was a boil order in Odessa a few months back, and everyone on this site was blaming Abbot and the grid. It was a broken pipe.

What particular grid are you referring to? Because there was no issue with the electrical grid.

NFL rules require an individual to be a majority shareholder. A publicly owned team like the Packers cannot happen going forward.

Weird that Nixon chose to veto it, it was obviously going to be overridden based on the margins it passed by.
