React in a gif: your power goes out tonight - Blu-ray Forum

kyleschmitty · 11-23-2016, 10:23 PM

I know this isn't a deal but I want you guys to take part in this... My power went out last night and if it goes out tonight I will curl up in a corner and drink to excess. Let's have some fun before this is closed!

Anyways, what would your reaction be if your power went out tonight (In a gif/pic)?

Use a smartphone or iPad.

Exactly lol and in today society there no reason not to have multiple power banks in case of power outages anyhow.

So for me it would just be business as usual lol

Which it wouldn't since FCC regulations require all cell tower sites to have backup generators that runs at minimum 8 hours lol and that start as soon as the site goes down on the slim chance it does

It would be the end as we know it...

tangledupinblu · 11-23-2016, 11:03 PM

I will simply have to find other ways to entertain myself

I never even thought of power going out the moment the BF deals begin online, but that would be bad/sad. I think Oh said he was sad/mad. That's what I would be.

It was sort of like BB locking my account out after the first early access order, but fortunately nothing went OOS so I became less sad/mad. I made a backup BB account in case that happens, but if power (or the Internet provider) goes out, I'd hate to contemplate ordering on my small phone where I can barely type a couple words per minute. On a desktop PC I can type my spewage fast.

Next to 911, unfortunately Thanksgiving and Christmas are the 2 most probable days for attacks by the people we aren't allowed to mention by name. I'd be more concerned about that happening (which could cause the power to go out) than the power or ISP company having a glitch, especially if you live near an especially popular/large shopping area (like Mall of America or Manhattan). Of course those foreign hackers who've gotten into our systems because of our awesome security (NOT) might shut us down remotely just to screw with us and the retailers. They absolutely could and I'm surprised they haven't already. Just today I got 2 random scam phone calls by people trying to steal my identity. One called telling me he was MS tech support who had detected an intrusion into my PC system and wanted me to grant him remote access to fix it. Yeah right. I ain't that dumb yet.

Yeah but the power outage could be caused by a widespread fire. Or an EMP. ;-)

ChiefSequatchie · 11-24-2016, 07:35 AM

LOL,. My power actually went out today for like 5 minutes.

Even with my tablet it wouldn't work at home without power for my Wi-Fi router to get online!

That when you create a hotspot using your phone or dedicated device for backup wifi/internet.

I have to take my sim card out my primary phone and put into a rooted phone for hotspot to work since I am on old plan that doesn't support it.
