When Does NuclearID (DarkNoon) Sleep?

[RiffRaff]

Just curious...

Option D, when the missiles fly. Sleep is for the dead. And I'll have plenty of time to sleep when I am dead.

 

[DEFCON Warning System]

I'm going for alien.

It plugs into the electrical outlet.

D. When the missiles launch, by process of elimination (and definitely not because he just said so above )

• Not A. He's very passionate about his craft and has passionately expressed opinions and positions in the past. Androids do not have emotion. (Well, except for maybe Data's twin Lore on Star Trek TNG, and we all know where that went...). Oh maybe @NuclearID has an emotion chip like Data???
• Not B. The open eye would dry out, causing him to miss a critical event somewhere in the world. He doesn't miss critical events.
• Not C. I don't think he loses his internet connection completely. I suspect if his main ISP goes down, he hops on mobile to stay in touch. When South Florida was being torpedoed by hurricanes, he was still online for much of the onslaught.

So that can only leave D - when the missiles launch. At that point, there may not be anything new to report or any method to make a report for some time. Some might call that synergy.

Mobile service worked during the hurricane and for about 24 hours after. But then mobile/cell service went down when the cell tower diesel generators ran dry as main grid was down for almost 2 weeks... I even told everyone publicly on forums that cell service was going to go as service for me on third day came to a snails pace, and I was offline for 5 days after the hurricane. It was actually an eye opener. 2 million people live in the bay area...

Oil terminals got damaged. For 5 days, no gas stations had gas. Even people with generators were sitting in the dark. Cell towers, as I said, went offline even though the storm had already been over for 2 days.

So yes, as long as the diesel generators do not get damaged and they get topped off after a disaster, I should always be online.

I’m thinking about getting Starlink this year before next hurricane season for this exact reason. Then, no matter what, I’ll always be online. And of course, I already have a generator and stocked fuel.

ONLY SAYING THIS as a reminder to others that yes, even if power goes down, cell service typically remain because cell towers have diesel generator backups. But if they don’t get refueled because the roads are too messed up for fuel delivery, or the fuel terminals where gas trucks fill up get disrupted, you only have about 48 hours before cell service goes down after a disaster. Or worse, if the generators get damaged, then cell service is down until the main grid is restored. Not just hurricanes, this applies to all disasters natural or not.

Bump. Only bumping this post/thread cause it's hurricane season again! Be prepared!
