Spartana is not a moniker, it is my name. I am Tony Spartana, a 35 year old male, living in Maryland, USA.

Rob, I would very much like to have an emergency generator at my disposal, but, having just spent most of what was left of my life savings on a van that I needed and use most every day there is nothing left in the till to spend on a device that I might use once every ten years or so, The cheapest generators I could find were in the neighborhood of $800 to $1,000 and add to that the difficulty of me having to add fuel every few hours I have never considered having one all that practical. Of course the Generac emergency power systems can be set up to run off natural gas which I have a connection to, but they start at around $5,000 and at this point it is a moot issue.. It is possible that the state would assist in the purchase of an emergency power supply since I am disabled and depend on electricity for my mobility. I know that they do so for people who need power for life support but again it is a bit too late to start down that road for this emergency. My lack of preparedness my bite me in the ass this time but I've got nobody to blame but myself.

Thanks on the "hysterical" as I found it sexist. Uh still do but what came before and so on...

It's an incredibly sexist term. I'm surprised that word is still such a common part of our vernacular in other contexts.

And now we're talking about it, and people who had not previously understood the association are thinking about it.

China’s Chang’e 4 mission is currently exploring one of the lesser-known areas of the moon — the far side, which faces away from Earth. Previously it found minerals which may have come from deep beneath the lunar surface, and now it has found something even stranger: An oddly-colored “gel-like” substance of unknown origin.
