    Yeah, well it's funny that blind, deaf and dumb people don't have any issues with it.

    do you have a solar powered power bank? I keep Two 350wH with 110-120 that are 11amps (sadly.. they wont run our fridge a few hours with such low amps) to power my phone and TV and some lights each would run them for about 6-8 hours. small TV we have that is 30wH and charge up 2 phones and a laptop. I have Phone MiFi too.


    but outside of that we're fucked if an Earthquake hits and we're out of power like what happened back in 1989 for 4 days. no gas, no electricity. no power banks or computers back then either so we drove to Sacramento for a few days and stayed at a hotel

    What prison were you in where you had access to fans and bowls full of ice cubes?

    I managed by soaking a towel in cold water and holding round my neck and under armpits. It lowers your core body temperature very quickly, makes you shiver lol.

    btw how the fuck y'all getting power cuts? Last time I had power cut was back in the 70s

    .

    GA prisons get extremely hot in the summer and there is no heat or air conditioning installed in any of the dormitories that house 120 men.

    Each dormitory had an ice making machine and that was your sole source of cool. Mainly there so some limp wrist lawyer didn't say YOURE VIOLATING THEIR CIVIL LIBERTIES AND GIVING THEM CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT BY MAKING THEM ALL DIE FROM HEAT STROKE AND GIVING THEM NO MEANS TO COOL OFF.

    So, I guess the Dept of Corrections found it to be easier/cheaper to put an ice making machine in the dorms.

    The fans were a luxury item that could only be purchased once per year if you had to the money to buy one off of the prison commissary. Very few had one. I was lucky enough to exchange a portable CD player I had for a fan that some old dude didn't want anymore because the cable was kinked and torn a little. I fixed that shit right up and gladly traded my CD player for the fan and the rest of that summer I stayed cool with my prison ice bowl air conditioning.

    Lol we'd get all elaborate about it like put towels in the windows/under the door to act as weather stripping and have the cool air from the ice and fan all trapped in the room and when someone wanted to come in your cell to hang out or whatever during our free time, wee all be like CLOSE THE DOOR YOU'RE LETTINF THE COOL AIR OUT, which, good reason because it took like 3 hours of ice bowl AC to get it "cool" in there when the outside GA summer heat was like 110F and who knows what it was in those dorms with 120 men crammed inside.

    Nope. Absolutely nothing. I’ve been lighting candles at midnight. But yesterday I discovered that the streetlamp outside provided enough light for me to read a book, so there’s that.

    The wires are fine. It’s because of a water leak. The leak is apparently coming from the floor where no animal can come.

    It’d be alright if it was just a few hours but it’s been three days now. Three whole days.

    12 hours of no electricity sounds great to me. It’s been at least 61 hours now for me. And it will be another five days before they fix the leakage. That’s another 120 hours of sitting in the darkness.

    I actually planned on praying again after more than a year of not praying, starting on Tuesday.. and that’s exactly when the power went out. But yeah. I’m reading books again because of college. I am reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m on page 400 now.

    Irish curses are basically just ways to remind people to eat stuff.

    There’s a water leak in the house and all the water has dribbled onto the power meter.
