Ice storm of 2004, we didn’t have power for 13 days, 10 of those days the road conditions were so bad that we couldn’t get off the farm.
We had switched over to gas heat about 5 years before and didn’t have a wood burner anymore so we had to resort to boiling pots of snow on the gas stove to keep the house above freezing.
The whole family slept in the downstairs living room adjacent to the kitchen with the gas stove in our sleeping bags and camping gear to stay warm.
On day 10 when the roads were accessible again we went to town but most places were still closed in the ones that weren’t were picked pretty clean.
We we’re able to find kerosene for the kerosene heaters and kept the house a little warmer for the next three days until the power came back on.

Might as well be a swastika armband at this point.

Words directly spoken by Jesus are in red, most of the things Jesus said would be considered radically socialist by today’s “Christians”

I believe the term is “tinderbox”

Oh it doesn’t mean it won’t happen, they’re just as likely to fuck up the whole thing by trying it anyway.
We can obviously listen to the science of it and know it won’t work, but they don’t believe in science.

I meant those who bought his “Patriot Bible” specifically

I’m surprised Trump didn’t remove all the words in red from his Bible.
But then again he’s never read it and neither have the people who bought his Bible.

20:00-21:00 and up at 03:30, at least I’m off work at 13:30 and home by 14:00 though

You might enjoy this then.

I refill and reuse mine, I got an adapter I can use a grill tank to fill them up with and take them camping for my lantern and camp grill

Good, Disney shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near anything Pratchett wrote.

They probably couldn’t fuck up the Long Earth though, the first half of the series was pretty cool, and I love the concept, but the last 2-3 books were kind of a slog.
But I think Stephen Baxter had more influence on those as he co-wrote the series with Pratchett, and they came out when Pratchett was at the end of his life and really struggling with his Alzheimer’s

KSP 2.
It was mismanaged, underfunded, and understaffed.

I’d scrap the mess they have now, hire an appropriate number of people to work on the game, and give them as much time as they need to get it right.

Losing a week of profit, two max, isn’t going to bankrupt a company, especially if they’re not paying out anything for labor during that time. If it does, maybe they should cut back on the avocado toast.
The place I work for had to shut down for 11 days after an ice storm a few years ago and they paid us our full wages the entire time, didn’t go under.

No real issues with speed, it seems fine.
I do have a bit of downtime but nothing unreasonable, maybe 2-3 times a week I won’t be able to access it at all for maybe 10 min max but it’s not often enough to be a real problem and it could be something on my end.

Being unable to post from behind a VPN is annoying though, I don’t necessarily want my employer to know what I’m doing with my phone on the company Wi-Fi in my downtime.

Who’s going to run out of food first?
The people with more money than God?
Or the people living paycheck to paycheck?

They would just wait it out until we had no choice but to go back to work, and we’d have to agree to far worse terms than we have now.

We’d be better off just dragging the rich out of their homes to preheated barbecue grills.

It’s still valid today.
Payroll fucked up and I didn’t get a deposit a few weeks back. They gave me the choice of waiting 2 weeks and having the deposit added to my next paycheck, which is totally undoable, or they would cut me a paper check that day.
I took the paper check.
I decided it would be easiest if I could use my Bank apps Mobile deposit but it only allowed me to access $500 of it that day, the rest had to wait until the next business day which was Monday.
If I would have thought about it I would have done it this way so I could have had access to the whole check before the weekend.

When they eventually deorbit the space station they’ll need a way to close and lock the door from the outside when everyone else is out.
Yes, they won’t need an atmosphere if there are no people on board but undocking the station side hatch open would cause it to vent the atmosphere and anything not tied down. This could cause the station to spin uncontrollably and potentially do damage to the return craft with the crew on board.
So there must be some sort of way to manipulate the lock from the outside on at least one of the docking ports.
This would also be necessary in an event where they needed to evacuate the station.

My girlfriend jumped my ass a few days ago because I did all the chores.
I get home a few hours before she does and she’s been stressed about work and the long drive so I’ve been doing all the chores and getting dinner ready. I figured she’d be able to relax instead of being strung like a bow and since I have about 3 hours of time before she got home that we’d be able to spend more time together too.
Turns out I’m making her feel like she doesn’t contribute enough by doing all the chores and she needs to feel like she accomplished something when she gets home.
So, I got blamed for making her look lazy when my intent was just to give her time to chill.
