Power grid

Thursday will be the rest of the infrastructure

Then Friday we can turn off civilization for the weekend. Somebody remember to flip it back on Sunday night.

Reminds me of a company I worked at that paid for redundant power grids. One time the power went out and… nothing. The boss angrily calls up the power company and they tell him “Oh yeah, it’s a manual transfer switch. Bob is already on his way.” I think it took 15 minutes.
