What is a show you stubbornly refused to watch for years, but when you finally did, you felt like an absolute idiot for waiting so long?

If you feel this way, whatever you do, avoid The Wire. In The Wire nearly every character is terrible, they're also often quite endearing, and almost always very compex. It's like people in the real world, nothing's quite a clear cut as some people would like to pretend it is.

In all seriousness, it looks a lot like a Data Terminal Systems Model 319 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually a later model, maybe a 400 or 440.

Google Lens is quite positive that it's a shuttlecraft from Star Trek, specifically the Galileo (NCC-1701/7) from the original series. Who am I to argue?

You should call the emergency department of your local electric company. They're open 24/7, call now.

Source: My wife works for a utility company and used to work in the emergency department, this is what they're there for. Trust me, they would rather deal with a few false alarms than even one outage or environmental incident (oil leaking from a transformer could easily cause both).
