But when your electricity goes out, do you even consider whether it’s the power plant, substation, distribution station, or individual service drop that is the problem? Probably not. But I’m sure many power line technicians see the phrase “my power’s out” in the same way tech-savvy people see the phrase “my wifi’s out”.
A very large portion of people who use electricity everyday have never given a single thought to where their power comes from.
They are the same folks who feel like they are superior plugging in their Tesla and knowing they are making a difference… while the coal plant drops another traincar to charge it up.
The people who bitch the loudest are always the ones who have absolutely no clue how things actually work and that every single decision is give/take.
And if you try to explain you are (insert ism/ist). Tards gonna tard. Way she goes, fuckin way she goes.
How much of that is in your control to diagnose, let alone fix? If the neighbours are out too, that means it’s already out of your hands.
When it comes to “the internet is down”, much of the time it is something within your control, whether or not you know that. It’s not a very good analogy imo.

This really isn’t true anymore. Most people use all-in-one modem+router+AP. I’d guess that unless you’re one to tinker with your router, there’s a much better chance you’ve tripped a breaker or GFCI than there is that you’ve somehow broken your home wifi.
I consider those if only cause it may give me an idea of when power will come back on. Ill even drive around to see how much is out or if i can find repair crews.
I’m sure you driving around to find a random power truck and asking them to fix your power faster is much appreciated by the people fixing it… I’m sure they don’t make fun of you or threaten you in anyway after you drive off while they have to be out in the weather doing their job.
I said looking for repair crews said nothing about bugging them, that was your jump in logic. If I know powers down in my block then if I see a repair crew about a block away I can assume power will be on in about an hour or so. Plus I usually am grabbing food at the same time.
Soooo, ya do exactly what I said in last comment… there is a number to call for power outages. They guys in the truck are on call to a problem, you are just annoying them.
How is me driving by while going to get food bugging them? They dont even have to close a lane 70 percent of the time, and when they do its cause someone wrapped their truck around a post.
To quote you “Ill even drive around to see how much is out or if i can find repair crews.”… so now you are saying you drive around to find a repair crew but just to look at them real good before getting McDonald’s… even if that’s the case they still hate you but you certainly are one of those people who stop them and ask about “your” power.
Dude theres like 2 fucking streets where the lines could be out, both towards food. But youve built this whole fucking idea avout me, I aint driving around like some jackass harassin random ass workers. If the powers out for my block its either for regular maintenance or a bob cat backed up into a pole again. I know when its for regular maintence cause the power company sends out a notice ahead of time.
Loom dude im just gonna drop this, your being a cunt and it aint getting nowhere.
