My computer's dead, what should I do? [Posting from ipad]

[Minty_Fresh]

Well? Our house lost power, and I live on technology. Any good things to pass the time, besides watch KSP videos?

I\'m not sure what to say to this. Can you not reflect on the beauty and fragility of a single candle in a darkened room, and ponder your humanity whilst you stare into the flame, and remember that everything you know started with a flame just like you have there.

You could do a drawing, sketch the reflection created by that candle on a human eye.

[Minty_Fresh]

Oh god no. Clearly, you have NOT seen my drawing before.

[Vostok]

Consider this an opportunity to improve. Here\'s a tip: if you can\'t draw what you see, draw what you feel. That\'s the basis of great art.

Buy a mains inverter from Halfords.

Then you can charge it up so you can run your technology off it during a power failure.

emergency mains backup

aka a big battary

[VincentMcConnell]

Well, since you\'ve got your iPad, I recommend the game 'Jetpack Joyride'

REALLY FUN.

[Accelerando]

Go outside.

[VincentMcConnell]

Go outside.

Ooh that\'s always fun, too.

Depends who\'s around, though. Sometimes I like to go outside just because it\'s outside.

[Steve5451]

Enjoy the fresh air!

Especially if it\'s night.

[Minty_Fresh]

Lol. I would go outside, but there\'s a massive storm going on, hence why the computer is dead.

[popeter123]

lightning + power line?

[Minty_Fresh]

I guess it knocked over a tree or overloaded the lines or something, but anyways, my PC is up again.

A thousand times this.

Or just an ex-bike...

[Nooblet68]

Or just an ex-bike...

Maybe even remove the \'ex-\' part.

[Lord Wasteland]

Maybe even remove the \'ex-\' part.

I have a bike with the wheels removed, and if that was turned into energy, I would have a lot.

I don\'t suppose you have a herd of hamsters and an equal number of hamster wheels handy do you?
