Someone had fun about cold weather incidents in Russia recently - https://conspiracies.win/p/17s5fde6id/europe-is-going-to-freeze-withou/

Well, Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, posted this in Linux kernel maillist at Jan 13:

Just a note to say that the merge window is paused as far as I'm concerned, because we've lost power and internet thanks to a winter storm. Of course, this is Oregon, so "storm" here is what some people would probably consider "somewhat windy", and "winter" here means that the temperature is approaching -10°C.

There's apparently about 100k people without power, and I doubt our neighborhood is the priority, so I expect to be without power for some time still. I hope I'm wrong, but a few years ago it took more than a week to restore power due to all the downed trees. It's hopefully nowhere near that, but..

And before anybody says "just go to a Starbucks and work from there", the scariest thing out there - apart from possibly downed trees and power lines - is other drivers. I'll stay put.

Shit happens everywhere, obviously. And in exactly same way. And with current kakistocracy in our clown world, shit will always happen again and again, regardless of country, political block or whatever.
