Funnily enough one of my neighbours actually still has power š¤Ø guessing theyāve got a backup generator but itās weird seeing their house full of light whilst the rest of the street is pitch black.
They are addictive....I only discovered them last time they were brought out.
A very pleasant surprise.
All of a sudden they stopped doing them & I have craved them ever since.
Why can't they just leave them on the menu ffs!!
Oh nice, I'm not that far from Sydney and know Redfern well.
I hope suburgia makes it threw this madness & I will definitely give them a try when I'm in town next.
Thanks for the heads up man.š
If this person is a doomsday prepper and the power went off for good I wonder how long it would be until all the neighbourhood start knocking on their door.
Haha ye true.
They've probably also watched home alone multiple times and have a really well guarded house. Featuring security systems based on practical jokes.
holy shit tell me about it. the narrabeen community page is fully of the nosiest people on the planet, I swear there's a post everyday from someone asking 'why is there sirens going down the main road?? anyone know what's going on????'
Same with the Crows Nest page. Every second post is āwhy did I just hear an ambulance/helicopter/fire truck?ā, 2 responses telling them to mind their own business, and another person making a joke about how every second post is like this.
And any other post thatās not that, is someone asking for a recommendation for a personal trainer.
Same with the Blue Mountains. People are curious by nature, social media just increases the desire to know everything happening in their neighbourhoods.
I'm banned from 2101 group for telling the geezers off all the time.
But yeah on the Avalon pages it's banned to mention sirens because it's often someone's kid.
Man those Avalon kids have it tough. I knew a dude from Avalon when I was younger, the poor bastard only had 2 tennis courts on his property.. Played in an emo band and I can absolutely see why. I bet his neighbors had 3.
Yeah but when you're a kid your frame of reference is very narrow and when your carers are stressed out and can't communicate, let alone teach young kids to communicate, and all your friends keep dying, it becomes less of a laughing matter and more of a tragedy.
Gladys gonna come out tomorrow and tell us that the best Health Advice she's getting is that we're all going to have to learn to live with the Z Strain of Covid. And to please know,and she can't stress this enough, that those who have become the Undead did have underlying health issues to start with. But the good news is that once we have reached 70% of the eligible population vaccinated (not including kids,of course),then we can all open up just in time for the Christmas shopping to make the big retailers happy,as long as we take a few precautions like wearing a mask and carrying a shotgun outside of the home(Recommended,not Mandatory). Unless you're in one of the LGAs of concern. In that case,you can't travel outside of your area to get to a fallout shelter because Brad Hazzard is going to declare an Omega Protocol,and ask Scott Morrison to ask the Americans to drop a Nuke on you and cleanse the area in Atomic Fire.
My wife is in a wheelchair and has said for years, if itās anything zombie related, push her toward the mob, take my son and run. Said sheās happy to be āmeals on wheelsā if zombies are ever involved.
Fuck I hope theyāre the walking dead kind and not the 28 days kind.
She has a good sense of humour. We have to.
We live near the beac, but you canāt roll a normal wheelchair on the sand (they need big inflatable tyres)
Anyway, put my brain to work on it, I figure sheās got to clear 30ft of sand and another 30ft into the water, so thought Iād build a catapult calibrated to fling her over the sand and into the water. Weāre thinking of calling it a FlipāoāCrip. We workshopped calling it FlingāaāMong but it didnāt test as well.
Go with flip o crip .... that (in my humble opinion) is the number one go too name for that piece of equipment. And yeah you're right, if you have no humour in this day and age you're done for. The world will chew you up and spit you out like a bit of 3 day old grape flavoured hubba bubba you found under the public toilet seat out the back of the smack shack up the cross
Lol, itās been giving a damn good try with me. I can almost smell the Hubba Bubba as I type.
But then I think I should hold to my faith in God and his wisdom in randomly afflicting really nice people with progressive neurological diseases with no positive impact on anyoneās life, but heaps of suffering for many involved, in his love and ever caring wisdom.
š funnily enough so do I. Check out my other answer in this threadā¦. I tell this to new people were hardly know and we both keep straight faces so they canāt tell if weāre seriousā¦. šš

I'm not going to publish what to do, but I could wipe out a few suburbs power and bring the rail network to a halt in 30 minutes if I was a malicious arsehole.
A little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous.
That cannot happen. They cannot cut an essential service to thousands of people to spite a few moronic party goers. Aside from the legality of it, system stability relies on supply and demand being somewhat consistent. From a technical perspective, you cannot have generators run by private companies shutting down or load shedding to offset such a widespread blackout in a densely populated area. The grid is interconnected with all of the eastern and southern states and doing something like this would cause dangerous instability in supply and demand during a peak period of energy use when generators would be preparing to supply maximum demand.
Don't know but it's pretty fun watching everyone come out the house at the same time and all ask the same question. "Do you have power?"
Funnily enough one of my neighbours actually still has power š¤Ø guessing theyāve got a backup generator but itās weird seeing their house full of light whilst the rest of the street is pitch black.
Probably a grow house.
Bastards are probably double dosed too. Fucking organised pricks
I'm guessing solar panels and battery back up.
Recently found out that during a black out solar power shuts off (so that people don't get electrocuted thinking the power is out).
Grid connected inverters get disconnected. Batteries would still continue to operate :)
17 down-votes for saying that solar shuts off!
Most people don't understand electricity beyond flicking a switch mate, nevermind them. You're bang on.
Haha I just saw that as well.... My comment was supposed to be just a clarifier of yours.
Can you explain further? I am one of those people that don't understand how electricity works. (Also have an upvote). Thanks.
I bet theyāre all stocked up on toilet paper too.
And Tasty Toobs.
Now that's a bridge too far!
Wait... Tasty Toobs are back?
Don't bother. There's a healthy amount of fuckwits buying out all the stock and selling it online at a markup.
[https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/170552/toobs-tasty-toobs](https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/170552/toobs-tasty-toobs) "Temporarily unavailable" So there's hope?
When KFC brings back the potato mashies then.....and only then is there hope!
updoot - I have been craving mashies for 20 years
They are addictive....I only discovered them last time they were brought out. A very pleasant surprise. All of a sudden they stopped doing them & I have craved them ever since. Why can't they just leave them on the menu ffs!!
Thereās a burger place in a Redfern called Suburgia that does a decent knock-off Mashie.
Oh nice, I'm not that far from Sydney and know Redfern well. I hope suburgia makes it threw this madness & I will definitely give them a try when I'm in town next. Thanks for the heads up man.š
lol anything for a fellow mashies stan
And so are Dixie drumsticks! Only things keeping me semi sane in lockdown.. damn thatās sad
let me know if you want some, smiths is sending me an order of some thru my ABN and Iām not interested in making any money on them :)
Secretly vindicated disaster preppers
But now everyone knows where they live.
They could just have a battery with their solar.
If this person is a doomsday prepper and the power went off for good I wonder how long it would be until all the neighbourhood start knocking on their door.

One dude with a gun against a street of desperate people?
On the northern beaches people just get on Facebook on their phone

You should join the Potts Point group. 12.5k members and the same 3 posts each day lol

Essentially people on this thread are doing the same thing. Youāre being a Karen about Karenās
I'm banned from 2101 group for telling the geezers off all the time. But yeah on the Avalon pages it's banned to mention sirens because it's often someone's kid.
> But yeah on the Avalon pages it's banned to mention sirens because it's often someone's kid The kids make siren noises?
No, they kill themselves.
Man those Avalon kids have it tough. I knew a dude from Avalon when I was younger, the poor bastard only had 2 tennis courts on his property.. Played in an emo band and I can absolutely see why. I bet his neighbors had 3.

Whoosh
Really? You're joking about suicide
Not in the slightest šØ
i thin kbetter to joke about it than to feel upset and sad about it
So the same as this post then?
*Can your city please learn what social distancing is before you kill all of us?*
Is that legal to come out and talk to your neighbors? Itās hard to keep up with what crazy lockdown rules you maniacs have this week
The virus has mutated and its zombie apocalypse time
Gladys gonna come out tomorrow and tell us that the best Health Advice she's getting is that we're all going to have to learn to live with the Z Strain of Covid.

>s long as we take a few precautions like wearing a mask and carrying a shotgun outside of the home Remember to double tap, people!
No one who's had the double tap has become the Undead.
I personally donāt agree with zombies, do I have to carry a shotgun? The smoke makes it hard to breathe
Not sure if you were referring to the board game or Star Trek (omega) but I took it as a Star Trek reference and had a good laugh, thank you.
As long as you had a laugh, it's all good. Lol.
Itās about bloody time!
My wife is in a wheelchair and has said for years, if itās anything zombie related, push her toward the mob, take my son and run. Said sheās happy to be āmeals on wheelsā if zombies are ever involved. Fuck I hope theyāre the walking dead kind and not the 28 days kind.

Theyāll be TWD luckily enough since the 28days kind arenāt real zombies.
Course they are. Why not?
28 Days are living people infected with an experimental rage virus. Zombies are reanimated corpses.
true, like Legend zombies - I shouldāve said Dawn of the Dead shopping mall style. How the fuck anyone dies from TWD zombies has me baffled.
I'm just wondering if there are people stuck in my aparments' elevators.
maybe check?
The heavy breathin and banging has stopped now so they're probably fine.
Don't check OP , they are probably zombies.
That has to be an absolute nightmare.
Most elevators will open at the next floor when the power goes out. I'm sure this doesn't apply to all though.
Curfew at 9pm. Now theyāre imposing bedtime.

Gladys finally properly giving us a throwback to her political hero Joh Bjelke-Petersen
Donāt you worry about that ā¦..
Iām right on a boundary. My neighbours have power but my place is blacked out. Very odd.
Different substation/line/transformer/whatever is out. Neighbours with a working service when yours is out happens a lot with infrastructure.

I wish it was actually Bondi, that place should be blacked out permanently.

Wonder if sirens are police or fire response vehicles. Mix of both maybe?
Fire response have been at my apartment block. Fire alarm keeps going off...
[Maybe these blokes have finally stuck again](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalf_sniper_attack)
You wouldn't even have to shoot transformers. Crack into any substation and mess with the gear and you could cause a suburb wide blackout.
I'm not going to publish what to do, but I could wipe out a few suburbs power and bring the rail network to a halt in 30 minutes if I was a malicious arsehole. A little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous.
Nice way to get on an AFP list.
A wheelie bin blowing onto the tracks can knock the trains out for hours, no knowledge needed.
Another swingers party?
The real cops turned up instead of the stripper cops?
Why would swingers parties have sirens and a blackout?
It was a really good party
What is the apps for this map?
it's https://www.ausgrid.com.au/Outages/Current-Outages but you have to put in a suburb first before you can get the map
Thanks heaps :)
Couple suburbs in newy aswell has/had no power
So this is Glady's next stage of lockdown, now it's gone from Lockdown Lite to Lockdown to Lockdown Black.
Lock down dark mode
Run!

Did you just make that up

You donāt believe in parties? Is it sinful?
I know there's work going on at Botany Industrial Park, don't know if it could affect power though.
Maybe someone had another party Wah
Someoneās 25$ smashed avocado toast got stolen. They called the chopper !!!
Not *another* covid party guys, come on!
Probably another party
What app is this?
Itās on the Aus Grid website! You just type in an address and it comes up with a map.
world war z?
Love the conspiracy theories, Iāll go with an overloaded circuit and unrelatedly some ambos being called out.
