I think I just broke my house.

^Are you sure it's not a combination oven as well ? My microwave came with one of those too.

It is a 100% Tappan microwave I bought in 1994 and I'll never give it up.

I suspect admiral janeway will be along to help you anytime now. That or crewmen daniels. I'm not sure which would be worse.

That's why you use the secondary bypass.

Indeed.

Aww, hell. Just have Geordi look at it.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Well we had an electrician out today, and turns out we just had a couple of old, defective outlets. The microwave turning on was just enough to kick one over the edge. 2 hours and $60 later we're back in business!

Hmm... Flux, have you tried re-routing your home's dilithium matrix through the deflector dish to create a positron beam? That might fix it.

But if you hit the dish when it's charged with anti-protons, you could destroy half the ship!

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Nah, I tried a more BTTF-esque approach. I just slammed my head on the steering wheel. Started back up like a charm.

^Just don't try pushing it with a fast moving train off a bridge they haven't finished building yet. That rarely works.

Where do you get dilithium at this time of night?

It's cool, they'll have it finished in 100 years or so.

That sounds like a GM product.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

Hey! It was a DMC, not a GMC.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Hey! It was a DMC, not a GMC.

That doesn't make me feel better. And i can bash GM; my dad had a 1977 Chevrolet Caprice for 30 years until he got rid of it.

All I wanted to do was heat up some soup in the microwave.

I put the soup in, enter the time I want to cook it for, and pressed start...

*click*

The microwave goes dead. And so does the coffee maker. And the under-counter radio. All of the lights, however, still work. The dishwasher, the stove, the refrigerator. Everything but the outlets in this one corner of the house is working. I checked the breakers, none were flipped off, I even turned them *all* off and turned them *all* back on. No dice. What the hell did I do?

It's possible this could be a loose connection (i.e., one of your outlets isn't hooked up properly inside the wall), but I don't know for sure.
