@ACT-Crusader I think that is what Drew was getting at, in a roundabout way. "Hey Izzy, what has changed here?"

I'm happy for him to get a month's pay and shown the door.

hey never show people out mowing thier lawns either, but you know it happens!

That opening scene, I'm looking at the all the perfectly manicured lawns thinking "OK shit just kicked off - we're seeing the first week of this. What kind of zombies we got?" assuming this town might just have had the plague reach them.

@taniwharugby lol Yanks don't have a huge amount of renewables because their electricity is cheap as fuck - about half what you or I pay.

Mostly I was being a grid nerd: there isn't enough automation in a market grid to keep everything balanced and running with the cycle of energy up and down. Even if the whole apocalypse started at just the right time of day for the median demand, supply won't change unless someone is pulling the levers and responding to demand.

Even street lights going on and off across municipalities in the USA would create system blacks without management.

Of course, maybe it was because THAT contract at the time was about to expire, and THIS one has just commenced.

I mean when he was chased through the supermarket and out the fire exit, with the zombie hard on your tail, go out the door and swing in behind, let the zombie fly out, you go back in, shut the door...boom safe.

Or just barricade the front doors of the supermarket that have motion detectors*, instead of leaving every single door behind you ready for a zombie to charge through.

*Speaking of that supermarket: 1) Why isn't it looted? 2) How is the electricity on if it has been 6 weeks since shit went south?

@taniwharugby said in TV Serieseseses:

@NTA haha yeah you watch Zombie stuff, you gotta expect some dumb or WTF stuff

Fuck this guy with the beard in Ep4 is taking the cake tho. Sure, you chubby fuck, keep trying to outrun the zombie. Or just get a big stick and smash the fucker.

The school kids were good value in ep3 tho. Creepy little fuckers

@Billy-Tell lol no. Didn't dip my nuts in the soft serve or anything... At least not while working for McDonald's

If I pull any shit that are even seen to threaten the financial or reputational status of my company, I'm basically gone.

I got a written warning once over a simple failure to follow protocol. It didn't actually harm anyone or anything. Nobody outside a couple of teams knew about it. AND I advanced the project by about 6 weeks inadvertantly, but those are the rules.
