    Well, the power is out, which means no water for who knows how long. Also, I dont want to lose my pc, and even though it's in a surge protector, I unplugged it. Is that safe aswell?
    The joys of living in the middle of nowhere :/
    Update- Power is back on, and nothing is dead yet, though my raspberry Pi's led was flashing orange for a bit.

    How does your water work? Having no water during power outages sounds like a really bad system.

    I would assume he has a well, you get your water pressure from a pump in the ground. Usually there is still some pressure left in the system after the power goes out and that can last a surprisingly long time if you want it to.

    I got the last Need for Speed game while it was on sale. It was awful. EA has definitely lost its way with the NFS series. The driving was horrendous, and the story was terrible. The gimmicky live-action cutscenes were a perfect example of what was wrong with the game. Too much focus on the unimportant parts of the game and not enough focus on the actual gameplay itself

    Yeah, we have a 16 gallon reserve, but that's not a lot to live off of for extended periods of time. Thats why I'm looking into generators.

    If you live somewhere with sunlight shove a couple solar panels on the roof and some batteries in a garage. That way you get cheaper electricity when you have power and have a backup when you don't.

    Saw this while watching DONG. Lists loads of music genres, click on them to get an example, click the arrows to get a list of artists in that genre.

    http://everynoise.com/engenremap.html

    Been listening to loads of cool house genres and songs that I have never heard before. Its awesome discovering loads of music you like in one go. Just found a whole load of my childhood in the Disco House section :p

    One of 10 year old me's favourite songs, still love it

    One of the best things I saw when I went on a daytrip to France recently, was a Café that felt authentic - all the nick-nacks on the wall, the old French music playing, even down to the fact that the owner was sat eating soup at the bar.
