  • Not huge the plugs but even seems to have its own meter. And looks exactly like the one that’s our side my house. So makes me wonder how for a power meter and up getting mounted on a utility pole along with outdoor electric sockets as well.

    Maybe they split the Bill accept all the homeless that live in the area? Or the sockets are for the homeless and the meter is for the city to know how much was consumed at that intersection?











  • This is the real answer. Main frame batch processing.

    And till you haven’t experienced it, it seems like an excuse. Why can’t you simply do it all the time. Why can’t you get rid of the mainframe, etc.

    But if only it were that easy. There is a reason IBM can still acquire multi billion dollar companies and then run them into the ground.

    My company has maybe a couple million customers and can’t get rid of its mainframe and in areas that it’s gotten the process away from the mainframe, batch patronizing is still a thing. Because that is the only way to guarantee integrity.

    So yea. I wish your comment gets more up votes. Because it is not a conspiracy, it is a technical limitation.
