    I’ve conditioned myself fully by this point to only use the clock on the stove as an indicator of whether my power has or has not gone out

      How often does your power go out? Why can’t you be bothered to set the time every ~10 years that probably happens?

        I guess you haven’t cleaned your microwave in 10 years or had to do any electrical maintenance in the kitchen.

          My microwave does not have a digital timer. And yes, over the ~9 years I am living in my current flat, I did not have to do any electrical maintenance. Do you have to do that regularly?

        Personally, where I live now, my power has gone out in the last five years more often than the rest of my life combined. I’m in my mid 30s.

            I live in a rented house, it’s a double bungalow style with a lovely family attached. During COVID our power was out for three days straight. It was wild. Luckily I have a car that I can waste tons of gas to charge my things with (also luckily it has like seven USB ports), and also some battery packs that can charge things.

            Went out and got tons of ice to put in the refrigerator and freezer and cooler.

            Set up our iPad connected to our phone as a hot spot and watched YMS play Jump King for all three days. It was wonderful. I miss being NEETs.
