It makes me realize how ignorant about power grid I am. It is kinda unfathomable to me, that 2 countries completely black out for 10 hours, then somewhat "magically" go up again, and a week later nobody knows what went wrong and how it got fixed. Or maybe someone knows but doesn't want to say? Anyway, it makes an impression that the whole power grid is this magical black box that somehow works on its own, breaks, fixes itself, and humans can only pray gods to let them have good harvest and uninterrupted electricity next summer. Maybe it's time to renew sacrifices at the temple of Jupiter or somebody else.
