I remember those incidents, but I never realized that people were there physically, and shooting for 19 minutes? WTF? For some reason I had thought that all the breaches to our electrical grid were all done via hacking. If someone has to physically be there to pull this off, it makes it a little less frightening (harder to pull off).

If they fuck with our electrical grid, you are going to have a lot of angry Americans. Just yesterday, I thought that something had been going on because in the middle of watching something on HBOMax, the app failed. I couldn't restart it. Same thing with Netflix, then I tried all the others. And none of them were working when I tried to start them. I checked to make sure my internet was up. I was seeing the Home Screen on my Firestick (requires internet), but all streaming services had stopped. I was /certain/ that Russian Hackers were going after all streaming services.

I'm an IT tech, and I should be ashamed that I jumped to that conclusion. I searched online and didn't see anyone else talking about this. So then I did what every good IT tech knows to his/her bones: Try a Reboot. Fixed Everything. *whew*

But it did draw me out to think of ways to piss off Americans, and that would be to fuck with our Streaming Services, our Internet. Our Electricity. Don't Mess With Our Entertainment!!! (boy are we spoiled)
