WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 hours agoi guess able to cook my food and keep me warm when the power goes out.
In my life I don’t think I’ve seen a power outage longer than a couple hours, and that was maybe once? I don’t even remember the last time I’ve seen one. Maybe experienced 10-15 in my whole life, with most lasting minutes.
Am I just really lucky in my area? Or is this the experience most people have?
Texans need not answer, I already know.
it happens to me about once a year, where i lose power for like 2 days due to a snow storm
Where do you live? US?
2 days with no power? Damn! I can see the allure of gas much more in this situation

Where in the hell do you live to see a power outage? I live in the EU and the longest power outage was for three hours when I was a child. That was the only one in my life.

In the US, objectively the greatest country in the world (/s), you can expect a major power outage every other year, and it will be blamed on the very people who fucking called it.

Last big one in my life was just a couple years ago, no power for two weeks. Greatest country in the world my ass.
