    Man, all of these responses are crazy to me. They sound like living in some corporate cyberpunk dystopia instead of a developed economy. Been living in Sydney for 35 years. Grew up on the outskirts that were minutes from bush and farmland. I have essentially never experienced power loss for more than a day. I don’t think the powers been out for more than 6 hours in the last 2 decades. I don’t even think the power’s cut out once in the last 2-3 years. There may have been 1 or 2 occasions that took longer than a day, after severe storms, when I was a child, but the memories are so vague I’m not sure they even happened, and definitely not more than 48 hours.

    I grew up with computers and cable, so I would remember if I were forced to raw dog existence for fucking days. It would of been trauma.
