Living off the grid.

[MrFun]

The irony of the plethora of information on the Internet for living off the grid is amusing.

The basic idea, as I see it, is to minimize the impact on your life if the grid does go down. I don't think people are ideologically opposed to the grid for the most part, it's just that there are concerns that certain events could bring it down for an extended period of time. Given that, wouldn't it be sillier not to use the internet to collect and share information?

Does satellite internet access count as part of the grid?

Not if you have an few hundred a month to spend on it.

Monk, you fail to appreciate the depth and breadth of paranoid thinking in the U.S., IMHO.

I don't think there's a connection between eating donuts and murdering black people.

That's great.

Our power just went out and we have our own well/pump/generator. My desktop is still on powered by a UPS which is beeping furiously at me. So I'm officially off-grid until further notice!

[Aeson]

Ok, the power is back. I am no longer living off the grid.

The FBI and NSA already knew that.

Here they have the NBI ... they knew I was off grid because their power was out too.

You are an idiot.

And then you complain about other people?

He's good at complaining.
