      Ah jeez that’d be terrible. I’d probably have to stay home because nothing in society would be working. Then to pass the time I’d have to do things like reading the books I’ve been dying for time to read or finally getting to my collection of handheld consoles and emulators.

      Might even have to have a glass of wine to calm my nerves from the stress.

          Yeah, it’s really disheartening that instead of simply going back 30 years and making them back in a decade or two, we’d probably fall all the way into the 1200s because of all the mass hysteria and chaos.

            When I was a kid and power went out, cashiers would whip out their calculators and process stuff my hand. Now they just shut the whole store down.

              Yea, same for the mess with Crowdstrike, there are few failsafes (some plces sorted things in paper), the most important being whatever social goodwill there is between people stick it out and figure the problem out.
