they already declared bankruptcy. They had a judge give them permission under chapter 11 to impose changes to the contracts. Some of the laborers thought that this was a bluff, where the management was actually in good faith when they said they couldnt afford to live through a strike.

apparently they tried to stop shortages by outlawing "hoarding". They arrested a guy and confiscated gasoline because he collected from neighbors and went beyond the gas shortages to bring back gas to them. The big screw up on his side was putting it in non-gas approved containers, but the charge was actually hoarding supplies.
The biggest point that I am seeing about those predictions is frequency. We know that this HAS happened before, 140 years ago. It is entirely likely that it will happen again at some long interval. It is entirely possible that it will happen much sooner, or even with more frequency. If the climate changes cause this event to become as regular as a Florida hurricane strike, then there is a massive problem. A single event doesnt prove anything, and comparing it to a long average is sensationalizing.
The situation I saw, and laughed at for far too long, was that the ESX host was set to get IP from DHCP ( forced by MAC ). This worked fine until the servers needed to server this were P2Ved, and then a SAN maintenance brought everything down. People were lucky that the Physical box still existed, but was powered down.
Yes to NTP on switches. They are always one hop away
It really gets good if you decide to feed IPs to all hosts (even your ESX boxes) through DHCP, and then virtualize your DNS/DHCP services. works great until you turn it off!
This is very easy to plan for. Simply decide how far away your DR location needs to be. If the problem is fuel, then the DR plan was a shelter in place plan, and is going to suffer miserably for many reasons. Long term power outage caused by floods is very obvious, and will bring the exact issues that are being seen here every time. This is likely in a plan for all of these places. A fire would knock these completely offline, so there always has to be consideration of failing to an alternate location. The main reason to not have failed over to somewhere else is if you are stuck on a tape based bare metal recovery which will take more days than the cleanup, or the effort to fail back to the primary location is so great that it is worth the effort to wait out the repairs to infrastructure.
You also have to hope that the trucks are allowed to travel. I worked at a DR company that sold contracts on datacenter in a trailer solutions. Many companies that got hit by Katrina declared, and not one single trailer was sent. The contract had provisions that fuel for the generators had to be available. There were going to be problems, so nothing was sent to assist them. Basically free money for the potential use of these trailers.
I havent listened to that pitch ever. If I meet someone that has lasted past the first annoying blast I will hurt them. This piece of crap call should garner exactly ZERO sales, as it is instantly annoying, and everyone should know to just hang up.
I am hoping that the "hasn't happened since the 1880's" bit is partly to blame, but Japan's little issue last year definitely comes to mind. I thought the same thing. I also question hauling tanks of diesel up the fire escape. That should have been better thought out. I guess the firewalls work both ways as long as you dont plan on leaving.
I get pissed at the inverse of this also... the news will say something ridiculous like " in a train crash today, 76 people died, including 9 women and children". There is a value attached differently to different people.
If it makes you feel better, before I had even gotten to your comment about the quote, all I was thinking was " where is the damn closing parenthesis ?" .
so increasing the width of the tire will increase the contact with the road, and you are saying that this friction will reduce gas mileage by increasing rolling resistance, but will not shorten the stopping distance because that friction is suddenly discounted?
If you look at every racing car in every circuit, they are using a fairly wide tire, as the amount of rubber touching the road helps performance. If a narrow tire helped achieve a more efficient top speed, I believe that we would see more of that.
this can be true, but you seem to be assuming that drivers are trained and have skills .
ABS does allow a car to avoid sliding, and simplifies an emergency stop by encouraging pushing the brake pedal to the floor and leaving it there. The ABS is designed to prevent the tires from locking completely, which allows the car a very fast stopping distance. Without ABS you need to be able to judge the exact amount of pressure to stop the car, and once the tires lock and the car is sliding , lifting off and trying again isnt always an option .
ABS is also a nuisance if you leave the road. Slipping in dirt just confuses the hell out of the system, and tends to cause more problems than it avoids.
ABS is pretty much needed now. When every other car around you can stop very quickly in an emergency situation, you are very likely to crash if your stopping distance is longer than everyone else's. Even being lightweight, the tires are going to be thin and not stop as quickly as will be needed. I resisted ABS as long as I could, and had many close calls where a car in front of me was stopping without looking like they were giving a lot of thought or effort, and I was doing all I could to avoid them.
interestingly, they are only talking about not tolerating hatred of religion, and never mention hatred from religion. When all the fundies from all the religions stop hating everyone else, I may attempt to see their point of view better. As long as the goal is to only protect themselves, at the expense of EVERYONE else, then F em.
ya, BMI is the biggest crock of shit ever devised. I am 6'1" , and lost 40+ pounds that I needed to lose. That brought me down to the 185 range. I am still overweight according to the charts. I am damn near too skinny now, and many people didnt think that I should have started losing weight in the first place. I have been told my goal should be 167. I cannot imagine how I could do that, I would have to have a waist of less than 30 inches. I dont think I would be able to fend off a cold, so healthy would not be the way I would describe that.
heh, i am plenty old:) , and I have seen the behavior you talk about. I have family that lives in very rural areas, and you need to use high beams at night. Everyone is polite in all aspects of life there, and the low beams are used when they are needed. You also dont encounter many cars, and when you do you can see them from miles away, so it is easy to be prepared. I currently live in such an urban environment that I never use my high beams, and I maybe turn on the fog lights 2 or 3 times a year. I have no sample size to comment on the proper high beam/low beam useage as no one where I drive needs them, and the few idiots that do turn them on are just part of the general level of idiocy that you have to tolerate while living in close proximity to a lot of people.

while that list seems harsh, the workers would have had a lot more under that plan than they do now.

slow clap for this one!
that cant be possible. I think God placed that tree there to test our faith.

Everyone will just need to increase the diameter of their tin foil hats to about 4 to 6 feet, and never leave home without it.
rule 1 ) the person with the badge is always right
rule 2 ) if the person with the badge is wrong, see rule 1
usually this doesnt make it all the way through court, but this is completely true of any interaction on a personal level

they were all hot, 35 years ago when they got hired. Somehow 60 year olds with 3 kids and 6 grandkids just lose the hot factor along they way.
