This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

As long as your stuff is indeed frozen, and you aren’t opening it up, the food will stay frozen for almost 48 hours.

You run the backhoe for Bell service techs?

🤣 This is so on the nose. During Telus’ big fiber optic infrastructure push I’d respond to 1-2 outages caused by them digging or directional drilling through services.

Ngl I kinda wish they’d hit mine because I’m about to upgrade my panel/service.
