Our air conditioner stopped working for some reason, and when I went out to check the heat exchanger outside, it was turning on and off in regular 5-second intervals (5 seconds on, 5 off, repeat). I killed power to it and checked the external cutoff (to see if it was loose), and then restored power. It started working correctly right away.
A quick Google and it seems our unit has a tendency to have its internal motor controller glitch and start doing what I was seeing. Killing and restoring power resets the controller and fixes the issue (until it glitches again).
It seems the controller glitches most often when it is very wet out, and we just had a ton of rain, flooding a lot of places, which explains the glitch.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

With "fix-it" skills like that, you should be in tech support!

Problem is in real life "Tech Support" is [on a good day] max 10% "Tech" and 90% "s/Tech/Idiot/g"

When our A/C inexplicably stops working, it is usually the drain pipe that takes water that forms on the condenser to the outside, that gets clogged. There is some kind of slime that grows in the pipe. Pouring a cup of chlorine bleach into the reservoir that catches the condensed water every couple of months, helps a lot.

Consider yourself lucky if you have a cutoff switch for the drainage. Very recently, I had the drain for my downstairs unit clog completely to the point that I had to dismantle the whole assembly (having 2 90s and a 45) to clear it out. I replaced all of those joints with a piece of clear plastic tubing which eliminated the elbows and allows me to see at a glance if there is a problem. Luckily, I caught it before it made a real mess.

Controller probably running Windows 10 embedded. Was busy updating. Just reboot, fixes everything.

Quote: bailed out The US of A sold Britain and it's allies all it could and then stepped in at the last minute to claim all the credit as usual. Since the UK, and France, Belgium and The Netherlands have been paying you back in hard currency for decades ever since I think the US can be officially classed as "war profiteers". I understand that the UK paid the last installment just last year ("bail money"?); so how will the US survive now without Europe paying off the war debts (known by some as "usury")? The US was in a pretty poor state economically just before WWII and it was the best thing, economically, that could have happened for it! Especially with US statesmen such as Joseph Kennedy stirring things up against Britain...
OK, I'm not going to get into it any further. I quite like the US and anyway, many countries have things in their past that they would rather not talk about. Germany for example, until recently, was a great place to live.

But you live in the States. Unless you are implying you wanted us to still be under British rule?

You can infer it that way, yes.
As a first gen American, I am sensitive to others who move here and continue to think their previous country's the greatest in the world. Just don't get why they'd want to live here in that case.

Let the "Real American" worry about that. But get the day off from work due to those who sacrifice their life.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

As long as you don't live in Chicago or a few other high crime areas, the chances that you will be murdered by a stranger are pretty low.
