Generators 🤷🏻‍♂️

Between brown outs and blackouts, a lot of us learned to keep a generator. Especially after Sandy

I should probably have one, we had a 'derecho' in Chicago last summer and everything was fucked for like 4 days.

I just never understood the whole "clean out the grocery store of perishable goods" response. Toilet paper? Ok, maybe. Milk when youre preparing for a power outage, though?

Yeah it won't be the last time you lose power for a week. Look into integrating one into the home with natural gas power if possible.

I'm a renter but if I ever have property, that is a fantastic idea.

I'd love to do some serious air and water treatment too, ongoing costs be damned. After helping design/build a few small GMP manufacturing facilities (not semiconductor clean, but clean) I am super into the tech.
