Lol by no means like it, we just roll with it!

They're not normally this long, 2-6 hours are the norm, so solar for the hot water, UPS for the WiFi and electronics, gas for cooking or just make a fire!

this year has been good though, only had like 3 major outages! But prices have skyrocketted thats for sure! But still way cheaper than first world! When i look at the cost of living in other countries and the taxes, I die inside, maybe the math I am doing doesn't reflect the standard of living upgrade, you dont know what you don't know, but man am I a cheap bastard
