    36 pack of beer. Check. Big spliff. Check. Double episode series finale of Agents. Check

    Bunch of games downloading in the background that I'll only play for 5 minutes if ever. Check, check and check.

    80 hours without power, that was a fun storm. If Roxas still around, curious how bad it was for you

    Also there have been several undetected homicides.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Damn. Awhile back it was near 24 hours for me. There was some bad flooding awhile back here too.

    My brother's was out just shy of 5 days, he still doesn't have internet though, that line snapped and his ISP can't get someone out there until end of this week.

    There was just that much damage.
    As for third world, live smack dab in middle of 400K population area.

    Not sure how true this part is, but apparently a lot of the emergency crews were up in the northeast helping with the hurricane damage from a few days prior. The crew that eventually came by to my brother's to get their power on (the pole was snapped in half) were just coming out of New Jersey, even though they are from Missouri lol

    Seems like there aren't enough people employed to repair stuff, like when you have hurricanes or whatever.

    Yeah we've been getting slapped silly by these storms the last few weeks, super thrilling.

    Lost power in my apartment for a day and lost internet for like three days. Turns out after 3 hours without internet I just revert to a feral state.

    Yep, that's a constant problem.

    That and a lot of the infrastructure isn't really rugged enough to handle any level of weather. Most of it is built to withstand weather that is on par of the area sure, but big storms and unusual weather are becoming the norm, so it'll be interesting to see what, if anything happens.

    It's almost like the climate change deniers were greedy profiteering ghouls or buffoons. If they don't know which they were they should check their bank accounts.

    It doesn't happen much, but that's what happens to me after 3 hours without power
    Internet I can go without for much longer than that. Plenty of offline games to play and vids to watch.

    I don't even know why, but something specifically about not having internet access sets my blood to boil.
