'My client? She's a disagreeable old trout', says defence barrister

Mr Iles, defending, admitted his client was "a disagreeable old trout", whose behaviour was "persistent, outrageous and unpleasant", as he attempted to defend her before she was sentenced.

He said: "Her disastrous reputation precedes her. The net effect of that was local tittle-tattle. She was about as popular as a diesel Volkswagen.

"Everybody knew her and everybody was wary of her. It's very much 'engage mouth half-an-hour before brain', if indeed brain is ever troubled at all."

Electrician cuts wrong wire and downs 25,000 square foot data centre
Reader tried to scare his boss by warning of a one percent chance of failure. But his boss liked those odds ...

The existing facility sported a trio of 220KvA UPSes, but at the new bit barn it was decided to run with just two.

“The decision was made to save costs by relocating one of them to the new building rather than buying all new equipment.”

JF says he “begged the business to call a complete shutdown to remove the UPS. They asked me what the odds of something going wrong, and I made the error of trying to provide an accurate estimate of the risk by sayin there was about a one in 100 chance of problems.”

JF thought a one per cent risk of power failure across 25,000 square feet packed full of server racks, live, in production, would scare off the bean counters.

He was wrong.

.........

“The first thing I heard from management on Monday morning was, "I thought you said there was only a 1 in a 100 change of failure!”

“I just stared at him,” JF says.

JF handed in his notice about a month later.

I am feeling so much better lately? I have more
pep for the first time in ten years, and I can get more done in
an hour now than I could in a week last month? But, why
am I up? I seem to be able to go on only four or five
hours sleep per night?

Meds are gone?

Or a real good reason to go there, some of the better freaks on this planet have been known to post their views in politics. Sometimes it is quite a show and well worth the price of admission.

It has been almost clear sky here and I have seen 3 strikes for about 30 minutes.

Woodland rejects solar farm

WOODLAND (VA) – The Woodland Town Council rejected a proposal to rezone a section of land north of town to M2 (manufacturing) from RA (residential/agricultural), essentially denying approval of a solar farm.

... [snip]

The next speakers were Bobby and Jane Mann.

She is a retired Northampton science teacher and is concerned that photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would keep the vegetation from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar panels where vegetation is brown and dead because it did not receive enough sunlight.

... [snip]

He said the solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not come to Woodland.

... [snip]

Mayor Kenneth Manual called for the vote, which was 3-1 against rezoning the land (the mayor only votes in case of a tie).

The council later voted for a moratorium on future solar farms

Just make sure you don't sell it all, you might just suck in some polluted air from the south.

Don't worry, if it is at all successful we will farm out the manufacture to a Chinese firm.
