Random regional variation stuff I grew up with in a Hispanic neighborhood

empeñada instead of empenada

"Que la hora?" Instead of "Qué hora es?"

For context, over 80 percent of the people in my neighborhood were either Puerto Rican or Dominican Republican, and those were used all the time around me. The empeñada lady with the cart literally had it spelled that way, so whenever people who like, took spanish in high school or whatever try to correct me im just like "I'm sorry are you correcting the lovely empeñada lady? Who I grew up seeing?"

She was a first-gen immigrant, I'm pretty sure her Spanish is better than yours, Bethanny

I've been watching European news channels, and there's been a massive power outage across Spain, Portugal, and southern France. The only reason some stations were even able to report on it was because they had generators to keep their broadcasts running and update the public. No one knows the cause yet — some suspect a cyberattack, while others believe it could be a climatological event.

Restoring electricity is the top priority, since nearly everything depends on it.

Cell phones aren't working, not even landlines, and there's no Wi-Fi either. There are no traffic lights, no trains, and no metro service. People have been trapped for hours in elevators and on trains. Hospitals are struggling to keep their backup generators running. Airports are at a standstill, and travelers can't even book hotels, leaving them stranded.

Nearly all the stores are closed because cash registers (and security system) won't work without electricity, so people can't buy food, candles, batteries, or even gasoline. Some people can't even access ATMs, and without cash on hand, they're fucked. And of course, food is spoiling in homes, stores, and restaurants, and with no way to heat it, many are being forced to eat it cold.

I can only imagine how much worse it would be if this had happened during extreme winter or summer temperatures, when staying warm or cool would be critical.

This situation really shows how unprepared most people are if something even worse were to happen. It's not a big deal if the power is out for an hour or two, but 10+ hours? That's a different story. This is why it's so important to have an emergency bag or stash. Make sure it includes a first-aid kit, flashlights, candles, fire starters, blankets, canned food, and water — along with a portable radio, ideally one that charges by solar power or a hand crank instead of batteries.

Seriously, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
