We’re dealing with some stormy weather here (Vancouver for me, but it covers a wider area) and so a patchwork of homes across the region are having power outages. Crews are working to restore it

So on that note, what do you like to do?

  • ways to prepare, what to buy, a favourite flashlight from [email protected]?
  • how you pass the time
  • any stories that come to mind?

    Also German here, that seems a high estimate. The only downtime I had this year was when the workers building our sidewalk grazed a cable bug I can’t remember any over the last few years…

      I assume even stuff like ahrtaal is calculated in. So for the average person it’s a lot lower.

      Longest I’ve had was 2 days. But that’s because I had work done on my electrical panel. 😁

        The worst I had was when the heating for our building failed… on Christmas Eve. No hot water or heating until January 5th because they couldn’t find the part, it was more complex than they expected, another part needed replacing etc. etc. etc. Fuck me, was it cold, and I like my flat cold! Had to got the gym every morning for a shower. At least I got a rent reduction.
