    Personally, where I live now, my power has gone out in the last five years more often than the rest of my life combined. I’m in my mid 30s.

        I live in a rented house, it’s a double bungalow style with a lovely family attached. During COVID our power was out for three days straight. It was wild. Luckily I have a car that I can waste tons of gas to charge my things with (also luckily it has like seven USB ports), and also some battery packs that can charge things.

        Went out and got tons of ice to put in the refrigerator and freezer and cooler.

        Set up our iPad connected to our phone as a hot spot and watched YMS play Jump King for all three days. It was wonderful. I miss being NEETs.
