      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. "We live in a society" is a bad left-wing stance. "I am responsible for myself" is what any decent society is based on. https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1361686064784621568 …

      2/ Even when I lived in the suburbs I had a generator. You can get a generator at Harbor Freight for $400 https://www.harborfreight.com/4375-watt-max-starting-extra-long-life-gas-powered-generator-epa-iii-63962.html … We are each responsible for ourselves Do not demand that "the authorities" make things ok 1) it's weak 2) they won't 3) there are no authorities

      Being responsible for yourself is *also* being responsible to your neighbors. Any able-bodied, minimally-financially-stable adult ought be deeply ashamed if they take emergence response resources away from those who are genuinely less able to prepare for themselves.

      5/ There are two strategies to deal with the world: (a) accept it as it is, and adapt your behavior to thrive as much as possible in the context of reality (b) bitch and moan until the universe feels bad for you and changes itself Q: how should we choose between these two?

      6/ A: The scientific method. Try both, see which one works better. There's no shame in bitching and moaning a few times as a youth, hoping the world will change. ...but after you get 10, 20, 500 data points ... it's time to STFU and start acting like an adult.

      8/ I was in second or third grade when I read Farmer in the Sky. Two plot elements in that book: (1) someone says "a space colony? that's an artificial environment where things could collapse". Response is "yes ... like L.A." (2) power goes out. People cut down & burn trees

      9/ I was literally 7 or 8 years old when I took these lessons to heart and realized that the "authorities" and the universe don't give a shit, and don't have to obey any promises. You are as safe and prepared as you choose to be. Man the fuck up and take some responsibility.

          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 …
