    1. We had a power outage in the neighborhood from 7AM to 2PM, they brought in a 820kW generator truck to provide power while they fix the issue.

      I’ll have to talk to my friend. He works on software that controls when wind turbines shut down so systems don’t get overloaded. Maybe he wrote a bug.

      and i guess they are not doing this because of you and some other neigbour. guess there is something important that really needs that power.

    4. You would never see this in the US. That costs too much investor money for the power companies to even think about the customer in the event of a power outage

    5. I’m guessing in Europe somewhere? This is definitely not standard procedure where I’m from in Canada. Unless it’s for industrial applications

      Time to partner with nintendo and brand that bad boy with a Pikachu on the side and make it a mobile pokestop

    7. I hope that guy at the window owns a carbon monoxide detector. The generator exhaust is really close.

    8. We’ve had scheduled power outages in my suburb before. Had diesel generators dropped and hooked up for 2-3 days with a dude sitting in a car 24/7 to watch it. The smells not great but I’d prefer that over no power in summer.
