  1. 22 minutes till the power goes out. Russians just bombed another substation in Kyiv.

    My "favorite job" quickly turns into a survival hell again today. Writing Book 2 by headlamp. 💡

    Looking at the world's common problems I see posted here, they honestly feel too simple to be called problems. It gives a unique perspective.

    How does your perception of 'crisis' change when it's literally a race against the dark?

  2. North Carolina State University: ‘Metabots’ Shapeshift From Flat Sheets Into Hundreds of Structures. “Researchers have created a class of robots made from thin sheets of material that can snap into hundreds of stable shapes – allowing them to execute a wide variety of actions despite the fact that they have no motor and are made of a single, flat material.”

  4. Northeastern University: These ‘zero-power’ sensors could revolutionize consumer electronics. “Instead of relying on electricity, Zepsor’s sensors take advantage of infrared radiation — or heat — emitted from our bodies for power, explains Zhenyun Qian, a Northeastern University professor of electrical and computer engineering and the company’s chief technology officer.”

  5. 6pm. Power still out, but we’re warm and cozy. Heating up leftovers on the wood stove. The winds have dropped into the 20-30mph range. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #myalaskawx #nopower

  6. Fcking #SDGE shut down power yesterday evening due to Santa Annas blowing (fire risk). 10s of thousands w/o electricity. Until when? Who knows.

    OMG, I’m in such a foul fcking mood.

    We need a whole house generator. #SoCal #NoPower

  7. Here in #asheville at 8am,we’ve had over 11” of rain and definitely 16mph winds (higher for sure) lots more rain and wind coming. Posting while I can, but with 6million plus just in NC without power it’s going to take a while to get back.

  8. Currently making View Master discs for a show in San Francisco. Made using transparency film and laser cut recycled paper, the work will be displayed on this vintage (1950s) View Master.

    This work is about fog and trans visibility and is part of a larger body of work on the same subject.

    Thinking about the potential of low/no power display technologies of the past and what their formal qualities (in this case 7 stereographic images in intimate proximity of the body) might offer.

  9. If I was in Gaza City with no power I would be unable to move south due to my Osteoarthritis. I'd need fuel for my car. That or electricity for my wheelchair & the ability to recharge it at intervals on the journey when it runs out of power. There will be Gazans with osteoarthritis & other disabilities unable to walk south & no fuel/ power for transport to move south.

  10. Alright #bitches I'm back! Was away for parts of the weekend. Kind of like a big OL'RESET. #LostInTheWoods #NoPower #Disconnected how the f*** does a city boy who's connected to everything able to disconnect, fairly easy, you turn it all off and put it at the bottom of your bag.

  12. Atceros 90.os un bērnību - tumšajos vakaros regulāri pazuda elektrība un skrējām tad pie loga lai redzētu cik tālu. Šovakar visas Cēsis tumšas.

    And we just watched Day After Tomorrow 😅 Eerie…

  13. was sitting here drinking #wine and watching #house. power goes out. ac stops. darkness. check outside whole neighborhood is out. people are outside, looking around. my thoughts go to how privileged we are, with all this electric stuff, and i always half expect to see a mushroom cloud in the distance when checking outside during events like these. at this point, suburban America would go to #MadMaxMode almost instantly in the event of prolonged #NoPower (maybe?) #wine2

  14. The bucket trucks are here!

    Plus, a neighbor with a battery system powerful enough to run a fridge and a blender took my garden produce--getting ready to go bad in my own lifeless fridge--and turned it into gazpacho. I have been told to expect a delivery of cold, wet, savory dinner at 6.

    Still wicked hot around here but things are looking up.

  15. We still don't have power, but the neighbors (with the quiet, not-diesel generator) just brought me a breakfast burrito, so I'm doing ok.

    Power company estimates they'll get our line restored by midnight (14 hours from now), and the storms that got us into this mess blew the hottest of the hot weather away, so it's only regular-August heat and not apocalypse-August heat.

    80k homes still without power in our area.

  16. The power is still out. Duke Energy has still not come out, so they are still likely unaware that there is a tree tottering over a (evacuated) house, being held up by the power line itself.

    Will my sanity outlast the diesel? Or will the line snap, drop the tree, and make things go boom?

  17. I swear my neighbor's diesel generator just shifted gears

  18. Still no power in Georgetown; and the #DTE outage map is showing the numbers going UP in my outage. Ugggh. 48 hours at this point. #DTESUCKS #annarbor #nopower #noprivatemonopolies

  19. PSA: All servers are down, girlfriend broke the power in the apartment. I will fix this when I got home.

  20. Tiedätkö, miten saa valtavan muutoksen penkkipunnerrustulokseen? Pidä muutaman viikon tauko.

  21. Without power here in #Asheville. Went out at 4:40 no estimate. Pockets all over the area. #Storm #NoPower #PowerOutage
