So, it appears that Peter Alexander blocked me for noticing the ironic heavy bot traffic on his post. @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social 🧐🤔 He was commenting on your post. Could you let him know that he’s nuts for blocking me, rather than the bots. 😑

Google, "incidents of people shooting power transformers in recent years" for a good time. 😑

Notable Transformer Shooting Incidents

• Mid-Michigan Multistate Spree (Mid-2023 to 2024): The Michigan State Police investigated a string of 14 separate transformer shootings across Eaton, Clinton, and Ionia counties. Perpetrators targeted utility equipment primarily during overnight hours, racking up more than $250,000 in damages and triggering multiple customer outages.
• Torrance, California (August 2023): An individual infiltrated a Southern California Edison electrical substation, manually shut off several large circuit breakers, and fired a gun directly into the power transformers. The FBI investigated the incident as a federal counterterrorism case.
• Moore County, North Carolina (December 2022): In one of the most severe attacks in U.S. history, saboteurs used firearms to destroy two Duke Energy substations. The resulting damage knocked out power to 45,000 customers for up to five days, cost millions in repairs, and resulted in one fatality due to a medical oxygen equipment failure.
• Thomasville, North Carolina (January 2023): Just weeks after the Moore County incident, gunfire struck and severely damaged a transformer at an EnergyUnited substation. Automated systems prevented a blackout, but the incident triggered an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation.
• Buckskin Substation, Utah (September 2022): An attacker fired several rounds from a rifle into a high-voltage transformer, disabling the unit. The system shorted out, leaving 10,000 homes and businesses dark for several hours.
• Pacific Northwest Spree (Late 2022): Law enforcement and utilities reported ballistic attacks with firearms alongside physical sabotage across at least six substations in Washington and Oregon, momentarily impacting thousands of utility accounts.

In the late 1990s I explained to US federal government clients that it didn't matter how good the product looked, how much more affordable it seemed to be, nor how many testimonials the vendor could produce, it cut against the grain of the national security interest to purchase critical software… 🧵

Many more people, an endless stream, follow the crowd turning left, eventually falling over a cliff.
