In Texas we run those things all day and only turn off for like 4-6 hours in maybe middle of night.


I was just making an assumption based on his comment about 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Today, a Florida man died when he was moving an electrical wire from the road.

Except... He didn't die... The legend lives on!

MY favorite meme so far is Captain Dan

They've known about this possibility for a week.

Cranes like that are not easy to disassemble

Captain Dan is a social media content creator. And apparently pretty effective at what he does.

Why can't you turn a generator on before 7?

Because I don't want to piss off the neighbors

Saw that. I would have thought that they might have figured out how to make it less of a wind catch to try to prevent that kind of thing from happening.

And having personally experienced the impacts of Hurricane Andrew... that is a high precedent threshold to surpass.

If they were willing to waive safety and union regulations, they had time to get it down. ... assuming they had a full crew to work. They might have went home and left the area.

2 wrongs don’t make a right?

What did he do wrong?

Just wave over the fence and say "Howdy neighbor! Just trying to live here!". Not like it happens every day, and doubt anybody was sleeping soundly with what you all went through.

His generator is on the same side as my bedroom. He's has weeks to **** with it to make sure it's working, but chose 3:45 in the morning to test it. I guess I'm more respectful in that regard.

Oh, he was TESTING it? That's different. He's in the wrong.

Whichever ****tard left the crane up should be loaded into a rocket and fired into the sun.
