I'm trying to find how to report a power outage and the "what to do" section of the power company's website is very sweet:

Remove the power plug for your sensitive appliances (computers, washing machines) from the wall sockets until power is restored, as a power surge when the power returns can damage and degrade your equipment.

Keep friends and loved ones entertained with board games, card games or jigsaw puzzles.

If the blackout is at night, weather permitting, take the time to explore the stars with your family and compare the difference with other nights.

Read a book by yourself or aloud to your family to help pass the time

I love the star gazing tip because if you're in the city it'll be your only chance to see the stars like that unless you go camping.

I think everyone in Australia and NZ and Brazil get taught how to spot the Southern Cross. Alpha and Beta Centauri who're bright as hell form a line that points to it

The place I'm at right now is pretty good for stars, you can see the disk of the galaxy pretty well on a good night

Also who was the dipshit that settled on The Milky Way

"Various groups (including the Venda, Setswana and Sesotho) described it as a supernatural foot path across the sky along which the ancestor spirits walked. Many peoples referred to it as “Night’s backbone”, “Sky’s spine” and “God’s back”, suggesting the idea that the Milky Way held up the sky, or maybe held it together.

In /Xam Bushmen star lore, the Milky Way was created by a girl of the ancient race who scooped up a handful of ashes from the fire and flung it into the sky. This made a glowing path along which people could see the route to return home at night. She also threw bits of an edible root into the sky, the old (red) pieces creating red stars and the young (white) pieces creating white stars."

You forget stars are colourful when you can't see them very well

I took my 4-year-old to a Halloween hayride thing last week and he pointed out the Big Dipper to me. Of course, he then pointed up to a different place in the sky and said, "And that's Homer Simpson," so, you know.

Russell Crowe told Cave to go as batshit crazy as he could, saying something like, "It'll never get made, mate."

Cave told me it's one of his favorite things he's done in his entire career.

But it's so ridiculous that it would probably make about 30 bucks at the box office.
