   Ballcocks are on their way out. They’ve been replaced by other assemblies that are more reliable. In your case, however, not so much.
   
   Can’t beat a floating ball on a cock.

   So as it turns out, insurance actually is covering the floor replacement.
   
   My personal belongings aren't covered, but, luckily, nothing of particular significance was damaged.
   
   But holy fuck is it ever gonna be a hassle to relocate all my apartments contents.
   
   I have over 1000 books, and, trust me when I say, moving books, especially this many, is incredibly unpleasant.

   In my defense though I'm used to the one at work that's tied in directly to the water

   
   It still works but it only makes like 2 oz at a time, which is apparently a common problem with it according to reviews

   Then he's like… "When were you laid off?"
   
   So I say "umm… February I think…"
   
   Then he asks me the name of the company I worked for…
   
   Like wtf does this have to do with my wet carpets?

   Generate one's own electricity utilizing a car alternator, a source of running water and some technical know how.

    That's all fine and dandy until the creek rises and the wire spool, along with the alternator, are floating down the river the next state over.

    Hence why you have a stockpile of alternators...and a backup setup already made and ready to install.
    
    There will be millions of alternators to collect for free after society collapses.

    Um you wont need to purchase anything...simply because civilization has collapsed doesn't mean the billions of existing parts suddenly disappear. Everything you need will be laying around abandoned ready for you to harvest parts from.

    Depends on the information...if it's family photos on a hard drive/SSD/Thumb drive etc it would. Get the generator running, plug in the computer/device...view all those precious family moments captured digitally.

    That power wouldn't be clean enough for a computer, would it?
    
    And, how are you going to get to these lying around parts when all of the gas runs out?
