    It was fun, everyone was out on the streets, kids were playing and laughing.

    They’d probably just be playing Fortnite.

    The adults were sitting on garden chairs in the street listening to music and chatting.

    This would happen regardless of a power cut…

      “It felt like chaos,” said Iñigo, a doctor at a hospital in northern Spain.

      I don’t think the headline is talking about people ‘stuck’ at home, but glad you were fine (nsi).

        This is true, I heard reports of people being stuck on the Metro which, whilst being pretty shit at least the doors can be opened manually and then walk either to the nearest station or an emergency exit.

        Being stuck in a lift however, fuck that noise

    I hope this serves as a warning sign to everyone who wants to go for fully digital everything, with no analog backup ready in place, be it payments, postal services and government interactions. It is nice to have digital options, but there always must be analog backups.
