@32 what sucks more is the alarm used

Here, it's unironically scarier than the US EAS Tone

@Nerfaddict dang that’s not a very robust power grid

Although I would assume that at -40 celcius most power grids wouldn’t be very robust.

@Randomplayer nah alberta

@Nerfaddict didn’t think Canada got that cold. Do you live up north

@Randomplayer no Canada
But what's the difference?

@Nerfaddict dang. You live in Antarctica?

@Randomplayer I was there
And now I'm under the threat of imminent power outage in -40c weather at the moment

@HuskyDynamics01 @Nerfaddict if you weren’t online last night there was another outage :/ that’s like the 4th one this week

@HuskyDynamics01 yeah, this was the longest outage on recent memory

You’re in kindergarten?!?!!!?!!?!
:O

@HuskyDynamics01 ah i see

Oh goodness no. It's a website, and websites go down sometimes.

This was one of the longer outages I can recall as of recent, but certainly not the first.

Post scriptum: I’m making a tuna melt rn
