I think I blocked that film from my memory. 🤣 Thanks a lot, now I have to go rewatch it. 🙄

It was a short in a nearby outlet (in the next room!) Never would’ve figured that out.

Hmm…by blimp, you say? 🤔

FWIW, I liked your “micro hole punchinator 6500” joke. 👍

When I went to buy more, the Rain Bird description explained it a bit.

I’ve used a Mac since forever. But I started using FOSS apps. Then I created a Hackintosh, until it borked. Then I installed ZorinOS and almost didn’t need to fix the Hackintosh. I did fix it, but Zorin convinced me that Linux is legit and I’m going all in on it.

I never see much love for ZorinOS, but I find it a very solid replacement. I still use my Macbook for certain things, but I am slowly moving away from even that thanks to Apple’s spying and whatnot.

Yep, my bad. What he said.

Healthcare industry: “Wait, people had $300k just lying around? We gotta raise our prices!”

Nope, I’ve called an electrician to sort it. Also have a switch upstairs that does nothing. Gonna have him go all detective on that, too.

That is the only thing that makes sense. I may have to just check EVERY GFCI in the whole house. I wouldn’t put it past the builder to do something crazy with the wiring….

I was using the voltage detector just to see if ANY wire was live in the switch. Which none were. I’ll try the multimeter.

AFAIK the switch is one-way. The circuit breaker has it labeled, “Dining Room/HallCloset.” The hall closet only has two functioning light switches—inside closet light and outside hall light—and there’s an outlet in closet, too, which is functional.

Ah, thought the GFCI was it! but the three outlets anywhere near the light seem engaged.

Circuit breaker is all good, flipped anything near the dining room off and on. Nada.

Not getting any power through the wall switch wires using my voltage detector.

Yeah. Crazy, right?

Did the same thing. Got them using FOSS apps on Windows (Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird), then switched them and made Linux look like Windows. They never cared, kept on using it like nothing changed.

Is the StumbleUpon thing not something Mozilla could do with Pocket?

Piwigo.

ElementaryOS if yer a Mac fan.
