Brown out!

[Alex]

Ah, i hate when this happenes!! i was working in flash, and i finally made something cool, and the power shut off. I lost it now, its not even stormy weather here either. its 4:00 and early summer and we are already loosing power.


its sorta a common thing around these parts, everyone has central air conditioning, so that makes it more likely for a brown out.


i hate it!!!!!!!!!!:-\ :pirate: :hat:

you don't live in California do you?

[Alex]

nope, good ole MA. :)

[lava]

why don't you call it black out? I never heard the term brown out before.

[thoriphes]

these college dorms could surely use some damn air conditioning now that it's getting hot.

[Alex]

my brother has a fan, it has 3 speeds, slow, tropicle storm, and tornado. thats what he calles it.

i bet that the top of the dorm is the hottest. they must be dying . :P

a black out is when all the power shuts down. a brown out is when certain parts of a grid shute down, due to a shortage of surplus electricty. Not exactly a black out, so hence the term brown out... C'mon, you've never played Sim City??

[Alex]

who cares, it got my point across.

yap really good game :) I've played all the Sim City versions. Which one do you like more? hem I think that SC2000 was maybe the best, it had no cool effects and so but I spent months playing it :)

I like the newest one the best number 4. The graphics and the things you can do are amazing. Fantastic Game.

You have to have a pretty good comp and video card though.

We had a brown out in Sarnia too, first really hot day.

Because of it, the plants released some fumes or whatever, and the wind brought them downriver. There was a 'stay inside or have the chance to puke your lungs out' blanket warning over the city.

[thoriphes]

wow, that's kind of serious. that's why you have to place all your Dirty Industry away from the Residential areas. :beam:

SureShot-

hm... yeah I like SC4 too. My computer's stats are really poor (Duron700, 128MB, 32MB video), but I was playing it normally, with the lowest options of course but anyway it wasn't lagging and I enjoyed playing it :)

The plants and everything else made this city very very rich. The living conditions here are fabulous, with the exception of the occasional accident such as that one.

I live very close to Sarnia and have a good friend who lives in Ptown. I heard all about that "black cloud of death" on the radio - pretty **** scary if you ask me. I was in Sarnia last summer and noticed that by the plants it really really stunk. I wonder if you get used to that smell.

As for the living conditions - if you dont live near the plants and such the place is amazing. Very nice area.
