Electricosity 101
(3)
The next category, 'Electricity problems,' refers to the fact that 'microwave cannons' consume lots of energy. Indeed, four such Mcs (say, two above and two below) might consume 2000 watts of power (tap) when used continuously in continuous wave mode. And given that our common power provider, EXCEL Energy, keeps records, It might be possible to trace such power usage to 104, 203, and 304, especially at times when those apartments are 'empty.' Solution: tap power from the victim, 204! So sweet! We zap him and he pays for it! Genius us! I'm pretty sure that is and has been the case. Anecdotal evidence which supports that conjecture is that there have been unexplained circuit breaker problems in our apartment. Several years ago we needed to reset certain circuit breakers (bathroom, bedroom) unusually often. That problem disappeared several months after it began. The current indicator that 'they' are tapping power is the bathroom fan: I always turn it on before I pee. Here is why. (Oops, I deleted the CNN link which describes a kind of 'bashful pee-er syndrome.' The idea is that certain men find it difficult to pee when they suspect that someone is watching or listening. I have that 'syndrome.') My conjecture is that over the years 'they' have therefore tapped the building power. But that would 'show up' in the usage as a statistical anomally. (bonk) Solution: do not replace the building floodlight (on the roof) when it dies. ('Yeah, yeah, the parking lot is therefore dark, but we need to get into some of those cars from time to time.') Indeed, for years I would often look out the window to see a dark parking lot. But not recently (last several years).
Anyway, when the circuit is near maximum load (boom), the PT fan starts out very slowly. It even dips occasionally when I turn on the (being gassed with RL gas) bathroom light. I usually leave the PT fan on because it seems to irritate the queer Jew above me (Gerash).
