I was born and raised in Texas, and as much as I’ve grown tired of their shit, this is a vastly different situation to the last couple of power incidents they’ve had.

This was essentially a freak storm that came out of nowhere with something like a couple of hours of notice, spawned multiple tornadoes that took out a bunch of infrastructure, including at least one high-voltage transmission tower, and cut a path over a thousand miles, from Houston, Texas all the way to Cape Canaveral, Florida.

There are no regulations they’re circumventing by being in their own power grid that could have avoided this, and even being interconnected wouldn’t help much when the transmission lines have been ripped apart.

A lot of people, especially those on the far right, have painted anyone critical of the Israeli government 's actions in Gaza as anti-semites. This is clearly absurd if you take a second to think about it. Making note that Jewish people and Israelis are also critical of these actions is pointing out the absurdity of the statements of the far right.

Not likely. Your stomach acid probably destroys what’s left of the virus before it enters the bloodstream, meaning there’s nothing for your immune system to train against. There’s a reason we don’t drink vaccines.
