    Events amazed no one mentioned the Spain & Portugal blackout

    Just thought i´d say, was so scary!


    Electric went out, phones went down, no wifi, no communication at all. So, let´s go outside, OMG...


    no ATM, nothing opened, shops closing, nothing happening, no one around & everything deserted...


    then neighbours come back from further afield, been out, but the same, and this means this isn´t local...

    Brain ticks, is this the Alicante region, Spain or worldwide?



    I can tell you from the gecko, it makes you think it could be a worldwide invasion! For hours, we actually packed bags, grabbed essentials & got ready for war, we didn´t know what was going on...


    was a nightmare!

      Another win for green energy.

      Now imagine the power the government will have over you when all cars are electric and all payments only digital.

              This happened in Northern California once, about 1995 or so. It happened to be on the day that we were driving from Norcal to Socal and we had no idea if we would be able to buy gas on the way down.

                    There's a pic of the King smiling going into an emergency meeting. Priceless. Doesn't give a fuck.

                    Anyway, that's why cash and candles.

                      was so scary, without communication from the world, wondered how far the power outage went...

                      but most of all, proved, as some have mentioned, how a country needs to have other means of transport, no matter what the consequences & cash is always reliable, hard currency, not electronic.



                      Still now, makes me wonder if it was something more than a power flux to put 2 countries out of power.


                      Does make me laugh, i read : Spain was putting power into other countries while was out of power for itself


                      And those saying stupid comments of "Spain with electric" lol... Spain´s ahead of most countries, now on reliable renewable energy, solar & wind, now working on over 50%, more than most, so very adaptable!


                      Let´s not also forget, the power & communications were online just 12 hr´s later. Hoping this doesn´t happen to other countries, it would take a lot longer to see a light or have phone communication back

                        OK; but why not admit that people with gas cars drove around to pick up their friends to
                        bring them over and cooked on a charcoal grill.

                            Liberace himself tongue-punching your fartbox in a sequined thong on a bed woven from the pubes of rainbow unicorns, while "It’s Raining Men" blares from a disco ball powered by Freddie Mercury’s ghost while you're high above a pride parade in a throbbing, veiny, chrome-plated cock-blimp with RuPaul as your co-pilot, even that circus of glitter and prostate stimulation is but a mere hint of gay compared to the soul-sundering, completely dickless experience of driving an EV.

                                Doesn't take much to put us out of balance. Imagine if those power outs lasted. All our resources tied up in bits and bytes on offline servers.

                                Even here in the outskirts of SEA I've come accustomed to using apps only. But you also keep a healthy amount of cash in your house in case you accidentally do something where officials needs to be convinced that you didn't.

                                    the bigger and more diverse the network is the more these blackouts will occur worldwide, it's "simple" math... we had a physicist in our country who predicted these blackouts like a decade ago already (and many other foreseeable future events)... unfortunately he died a few years ago

                                        You could of just tuned on the radio, they were reporting on it the whole time and within 20 minutes or so of it happening you pretty much had the whole picture (apart from who's fault it was)

                                              could happen anytime, anything is possible. Whether something hitting earth from out of space, some kind of electric storm or just online problems & threats...

                                              went to the car & this is what stopped us being so concerned

                                              even then though, is everything you hear believable...

                                              still thinking it was something a bit bigger than some storm fronts & France just knocking the electric off, especially when Spain was still supplying to France & Tunisia at the time

                                              And wondering how long the radio would have lasted if their generators run dry

                                                hang on, where in Spain did you get any communication?


                                                we had no reception with phones, nothing, no lebara, no wifi, no phone communication at all?????


                                                as said, did go to the car after thinking about radio & did get radio, but the phone had nothing, no satellite communication, showed offline and couldn´t get nothing

                                                    Obama movie: Leave the world behind. My favorite part was when Ethan Hawkes character had to decide what to do when that women was begging for help on the side of the road. He probably had a 800+ credit score, an advanced degree, donated to charity etc but when it comes right down to it he is just a selfish piece of shit. So when this happens in your country and people like his character are begging you for help don’t think twice about kicking them in the teeth. Smug bastards. I would help that woman. Looked like she was “the help” at one of the local homes.

                                                      Radio was working on my phone.
                                                      I had no internet or call service, but the radio was working the whole time.

                                                        that´s amazing, didn´t realise that would work. As said, did get to listen for a while to the car radio, but with nothing from the phone, hadn´t thought of trying a radio station from the phone...
