If it's sunny you take the sun-powered car and if it's rainy, the rain-powered car. It's genius really

Add a little extra wind power to both of those, and baby you got a stew going!

So, we talking a piezoelectric body that converts the kinetic energy of the rain into power, or electric vehicles in Quebec? (Quebec has a shit ton of hydroelectricity, which one could argue is rain-powered.)

That's what powers our server, isn't it? So our server is rain-powered?

It's entirely possible, yes! I just don't know anything about the physical location of the sh.itjust.works server..
