Somehow this #NonSequitur from 24 years ago seems appropriate today...

This is a great victory for Captain Smith. He held his course, and the ocean gave way.

The submersion of the market ship is either a temporary move to reopen negotiations, or else a permanent strategy to allow us to collect more oceanic resources.

@somecat Plz let me know if there is anything I can do to help ^.^

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) announced his intent to travel to El Salvador this week if Abrego Garcia is not returned home by midweek https://www.inbella.com/1000779/senator-chris-van-hollen-d-md-announced-his-intent-to-travel-to-el-salvador-this-week-if-abrego-garcia-is-not-returned-home-by-midweek/ #Fauxmoi #Gossip #politics

@androcat @skye Sometimes, of course, the only diagnostic path is to replace components and see if the problem goes away.

@EveHasWords For complicated reasons, I ended up writing this despite having never having the opportunity to watch the show.

I'm wondering if it's, I dunno, too generic -- like it was written by someone who looked up the details in Wikipedia -- and also there are a couple of missing lines in the chorus with which I know not what to do.

(Any participation in or response to my silliness is completely and utterly optional.)

@k3ym0 Well, if you're positive... [/obligatory]

Once a boxcat, always a boxcat.

@OctaviaConAmore @alexisbushnell You could talk with @EveHasWords, who is here and also an indie author. ^.^

@androcat @skye Following up on this idea, you should be able to clip a voltmeter to the output from the circular thingy and see if it fluctuates when the clicking happens.

If it does, then the circular thingy is a prime candidate for replacement (...but it could still be something else overloading the circular thingy* and causing it to cut out).

(* I should probably start saying "transformer", because apparently that's what it is.)

@androcat @skye Exactly -- that's what I had in mind. (This also relates to the question of whether there are other indications of whether there's power or not.)

@photonzz Yeah, Canada is at least an order of magnitude more sensible than the US.

Here, we do Certified Ridiculous™ as greatly and bigly as possible. (...at least in some states.)

@skye Are there any indicator lights that might show whether power is cutting out too?

@photonzz Okay, I'll buy the argument that some of the proposed regulations are bad, and that does create a parallel between the two.

(That doesn't mean we couldn't have good regulations -- e.g. ID checks -- but for some reason the well keeps getting poisoned with bad ideas.)

On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
"Now is it true, or is it not,
"That what is which and which is what?"

@skye (My only thought so far is that maybe it's got some kind of internal cutoff relay/circuitbreaker that's being tripped and then resetting.)

@skye Also: is the clicking regular? How rapid?

@MichaelWhelan How rude of them! (Yeah, I know, they have the right, but... phtbttt to them anyway.)
