Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 1:57 PM The basement lights in my house are all on the same circuit. Total of about five floodlights. Nothing else on that circuit. Someone explain to me why this is the only circuit that ever trips, and it's happened twice in the past few months. Other circuits have about ten heavy-duty appliances on them and they never trip. Why God why. The breaker is in my room, but it's been retardedly labeled by the landlord with things like "lites" that end up turning off all the upstairs sockets. I'm frustrated by electricity. p.s. I realise I'm opening myself to all sorts of legionisms, but I've got to the point where I enjoy his ricockulous rhetoric. —Queen TortillaFactory |

Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 2:06 PM There's probably an intermittent short in one of your floodlights. If they're outdoor floods, have you noticed that it tends to happen when it rains? Water would be my first guess. If not, it's probably a mechanical issue (like fatigue in the wires). If you're up to it, maybe you should crack 'em open and check the wiring. If not, maybe you should call an electrician before the place burns down. —anobody |

Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 2:21 PM OK. Worst case scenario, I guess you'll just have a little extra heat for the winter so no sense in worrying. —anobody |

Edited Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 4:10 PM Might be a problem with the electric lines leading in. There's normally two, each 110 volts, and stuff inside is either wired to one or the other but not both. So if one connection is flaky everything wired to that will have problems, and stuff that isn't won't. Call, or have your landlady call, the electric company. If there is something wrong outside of the house they'll fix it for free. Note that if their stuff is fine they'll charge a fee for the false alarm, usually $40. Ask your neightbors if they're having similar problems--the same line usually serves multiple houses. If they are it's probably the line. I had the same problem last month. A connection failed so half--only half--my house was without power for two days. Of course the half that was down included the furnace. In December. In Michigan. Goodtimes. —mattress in the lane |

Monday, January 8, 2007 at 10:29 PM Grey, stop spying on us. Flashlights are one of those things that are never around when you need them, like pencils and socks. I want to conduct a study on this phenomenon someday. —Queen TortillaFactory |

Edited Monday, January 8, 2007 at 10:33 PM Wear flip-flops, then you don't need socks. Except, I suppose you can't wear flip-flops to the gym. But I did once see a girl wearing Birkenstocks at the gym, which sort of distracted me for a while. She was, like, working out and everything. I think I even furrowed my brow and looked confused, which is sort of hard to do while you're on an elliptical machine. —jezebel |

Edited Monday, January 8, 2007 at 10:38 PM Five emails in a row? He's on a crusade. Grey IM'd me once regarding James Spader, but I was already asleep because Nathaniel had gone to bed and I had no reason to stay up. He probably thinks I shunned him, but I really just didn't even know. EDIT: as in Halpert? Yes yes. —Queen TortillaFactory |
