Reply to comment by ZingZongZaddy in In the U.S., Maine has the longest power outages. by Zippykalzoo

Last time I got involved in a conversation here about running power underground everyone seemed to think I was a nutcase for saying this, like we can just directionally drill all willy nilly and pull cable like they do further west

Setting a pole up here can be enough of a pain in the dick let alone thousands of miles of power line in the ground

Well, this is a sub where the majority of posters think their individual convenience outweighs any other factor so that's not surprising.

They're also literal children. Whenever someone posts a picture of themselves either on this sub or elsewhere, these guys are kids. 13-18 years old.

Makes me wonder how many times I was having a ridiculous discussion on a serious topic with a literal child.

9 times out of 10 I'll look at profiles and find them posting almost exclusively on weed subreddits complaining dispensaries aren't open on Christmas or that the skoonts don't have enough fleebz to activate their boba receptors.

I always wonder when I see a pole with a cairn of rocks around its base, if they put those rocks there to be able to claim they rammed it to the required depth.
