Can we talk about how I laughed at Y2K prep in 1998 and now I stock water jugs
Back in 1998 my uncle in Bakersfield filled his garage with canned food and a hand crank radio for Y2K, and I told him he was wasting $600. The power stayed on fine, so I got to be smug about it for a while. But after the big ice storm knocked our grid out for 5 days in 2021, I sat in the dark eating cold beans and thought about his garage. Now I keep 4 cases of water and a radio, which feels silly until it doesn't. Where do you all draw the line between smart prep and full tin foil hat stuff?

My dad taped flashlights to every wall in '99, still finds them.
