Nutcase nadin Analyzes Super Bowl Power Outage - America Sucks

[NHSparky]

A stadium should be able to handle it.

Newsflash, nads--the stadium DID "handle it".  The "power surge" was (from what I'm hearing) caused by a problem with a piece of equipment inside the Superdome (not the outside utility.)  Because of this fault, the feeder to that load, most likely maxxed out already, tripped on overcurrent, which supplied a number of other loads, such as the escalators, lights, etc., that were lost last night.

IOW, it took out the fault while at the same time minimizing the number of loads which were disrupted, you malodorous scrunt.  If you had a ****ing clue of which you spoke, you'd know that.

Now go away and let the adults continue the conversation, mkay?

Hemmmmmmm, I have this power dohinkey in my fuse box and in the kitchen and bathrooms that shut off the power if they get wet or overloaded.  Handy little device to alert me to problems that could burn down the house.      

I forget that things even when OFF still may pull some power, or so I have been told.  Plugged in microwave and refrigerator, can opener and all sorts of gadgets on the same line, then when someone uses a hair dryer in a bathroom. turns on two TVs all on the same line------ the breaker trips.

I remember the old fuse boxes of yester years and when a short occurred some would place a penny under the fuse. Have seen the copper slugs sold in the past to do the same thing.  

Workings of electricity are a mystery to me, this is why we need people that understand it, well trained in it and insure that should something go wrong the electricity is shut OFF.

Bought a 100 year old house with these doodads in the attic, white thingies that were used to insulate the wires for electricity.  I have no idea how they worked but I remember seeing them in the farm house my grandparent lived in.    

This has nothing to do with Nads infructure, has to do with the Union Electrocution's that wired the place.  

Um, Okay?

Um, Okay?

BS for quoting Vesta, that is still the rule right?

50. Kicking, because the big story this morning seems to be the game while the story of the power outage is a small, less interesting footnote.

Wrong again, nadin.

51. And we now know it had nothing to do with ailing infrastructure...

The fails just keep coming..

53. Only part of the stadium went out.

The lights in the parking lot and the surrounding area stayed on.

The problem was inside the stadium. It problem took the 20 minutes to find the keys to the power room and the sub-station it contained.

56. At work, this morning..

lots of talk about the game, some talk about the ads...but no one has mentioned America's infrastructure.
 
Maybe at lunch???

I think Nadin will be proven correct since no one knows nooz better!

[franksolich]

You know, despite whatever else she is, the oblate spheroid's only human.

Surely she must possess a threshhold, a boundary, where if she crosses over it, she gets embarrassed.

Mine must be more constricted than hers, because if franksolich were nadin, I would've long ago ceased showing my face there, out of shame and humiliation.

damnit! she can't see their posts since they are all on ignore 

[franksolich]

She reads them over here.

[franksolich]

That's why it's always a good idea to bring over quotes from those on her stupid iggy list; that way, she's read them.

I don't think it's an official rule, but it should be.

[ChuckJ]

Shortly after the game, Entergy, the local power company, and SMG, the management company of the Mercedes Superdome, released the following statement:
"Shortly after the beginning of the second half of the Super Bowl in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, a piece of equipment that is designed to monitor electrical load sensed an abnormality in the system. Once the issue was detected, the sensing equipment operated as designed and opened a breaker, causing power to be partially cut to the Superdome in order to isolate the issue. Backup generators kicked in immediately as designed. Entergy and SMG subsequently coordinated start up procedures, ensuring that full power was safely restored to the Superdome. The fault-sensing equipment activated where the Superdome equipment intersects with Entergy’s feed into the facility. There were no additional issues detected."

Above is a statement from the companies involved. Looks to me like every thing worked exactly as designed. I think if you wanted to paraphrase the released statement into a shorter version it would be: nads is wrong yet again.

Perhaps she's wrong, but it still may be a good idea to buy a few cases of canned milk.

And with that another DUmpmonkey is condemned to the ignore list.

She has no mercy.

20. Changed the channel to CNN and my lord, it was like breaking nooz

Or something...so went ahead and tuned in to CBS. The score? Who cares? I don't.

CNN is back on regular programing. Who knew? A news channel went to breaking nooz or 'thing..

Why does the oblate spheroid think that by putting a primitive on her iggy list, she's depriving him of something, punishing him?

Arrogance.  Sheer arrogance.

To me, it's something like this.

I'm sitting at a bar, and next to me is the town whore, a smelly, moth-eaten, disease-ridden, scabrous, fat old tramp.  Out of the blue, she suddenly shouts to me, "You can't have me, not for even a couple hundred bucks."

(That actually happened.)

I have no idea what ever possessed her to think I wanted to have her, even if free.

nadin oftentimes brings up that memory, when she puts primitives on iggy lists.

Insanity kind of short circuits that process I think.
