I just got home. When I walked into my bedroom I noticed the boob light over my sitting area was hanging down from the ceiling by it's wires. It's obviously not supposed to be that way.

I'm not getting any electricity in there either. I checked the breaker box and the switch was tripped.

I really am not sure if I should leave the switch off or try to flip it back on and see what happens.

I suppose the light falling out of the ceiling caused it to trip.

Can someone tell me what to do until Dan gets home so he can deal with it?

Should I just leave the switch alone?

are the wires still connected? any bare wires?

yeah, they all look like they're connected. There's a bare copper wire but I'm assuming that one is supposed to be bare because the whole thing is exposed. There are no other bare wires, that I can see anyway.

If you need what else that breaker runs....can you just turn the power off to that light...then flip the breaker? If that light did not have power when it tripped, however, would leave it alone.

Why do you think it fell?

It knocked out the power to my whole master bedroom including my master closet & the sitting area. There's no power to any light or the ceiling fan or any of the outlets.

I suppose the light fell due to Fort Bragg shooting off their tunderboomers. It tends to knock the pictures off the walls sometimes.

That wire is always exposed. You can disregard it.

Did it bust the light bulb?

boob light? do they sell those at the porn store?

like this... http://www.rensup.com/Ceiling-Lights/99891.htm?adsrc=9000002

If the breaker is currently off, then turn the switch off for the exposed light, effectively killing any juice running to that light. You'll be fine to flip the breaker back after that.

Did that. :)

No.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
