Three days without electricity

    And counting. They said they will come on Tuesday to fix the leak. That means I won’t have any electricity for another five days at the very least. Because after the leak has been fixed, they will start working on the meter or whatever. That may take a couple of more days. Lesson learned: the west is a shithole just like any other place in the world because they have the same shoulder-shrugging attitude.

    Nevermind. 61 hours. Not three whole days. That’ll be the case at 3 am today.

    Yeah it fucking SUCKS without power you literally cannot function. I would go stay at a motel, fuck that shit

    The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them. I can feel fortresses of industry miles away burning prehistoric hydrocarbons by the megaton. I can feel the searing pain and loss of consciousness from when I was shocked by exposed house wiring as a boy. I can feel the deep cut of the power bill when I was living near the poverty line. I can feel the cold uncertainty of the first time the power went out due to a storm when I was a child. How long before the delicate veil of civilization turns to savagery with no light nor heat nor refrigeration?

    The grid, smart or not, is wasteful. Power generation produces 32% of all greenhouse gases, more than any other economic sector. Most power in the US is generated by burning coal, immediately squandering 67% of its energy, then run through a steam turbine, losing another 50%, then sent across transmission lines, losing another 5%, then to charge a DC device like a cell phone another 50% is lost in conversion. This means for 100 watts of coal or oil burned my phone gets a mere 16. In this light a solar panel that is 18% efficient doesn’t seem that bad.

    Instead of ever increasing our energy production, what if we focused instead on reducing our consumption? I expect power will be at a premium in our first space colonies, and DC only from solar cells. So, I embarked on an experiment to see if I could survive without the luxury of alternating current.

    It really does suck. I also have OCD so I can’t go to a hotel or anything.

    A water leak. Water has gone into the meter box and so the built-in protection system shut down the power and they won’t fix it until the water leak has been fixed.

    what about OCD prevents you from staying at a date motel?

    You can open their doors 7 times whenever you enter a room all you want

    Westerners should honestly engage in electricity fasting. Living without power for a month out of the year as a religious duty. God wills it.

    This would actually be a great idea.

    It could be like Climate Ramadan.

    It's not possible unless you stop participating in society entirely. You have to change everything, your entire lifestyle. People in countries like Venezuela that don't have constant access to power live a much more simple life.

    Why don't you get a garbage bag an extension cord and a sleeping bag and do what peopel with no power do in the US. Find an outlet, lay the garbage bag down first, then your sleeping bag, plug your outlet in, I'd carry a machete with you or a large knife you probably won't need to use it but you might, and camp right next to that power source. You just plug all your shit in and camp.

    I did this in Arizona with just a backpack, a 4 pack of malt liquor, a piece of rebar and my phone charger and laptop charger.

    plus my shit in, facing down the alleywayt with my back near the cords/against the walls nd just play on my compute rwhile my phone charged and I drank

    I did not revert, I was born into it. Though I became an atheist in high school but after high school I saw the light again, so to speak.
