If you're dependent on the grid for light, power, and heat, and you have no plan B, no space heaters, no generators, that's not on anyone but yourself.

13/ So! If you've lost power or heat in this recent storm, or are thinking about being a bit more antifragile in future storms, I've written a TON about every single aspect of this - generators, solar, space heaters, fuel containers, wiring etc etc etchttps://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1303048497843892225 …

Surely we're allowed some light bitching/grumbling while pursuing (a)? It's good for the soul!
