Talk:Power Cable
Hmmm. This title seems to defy categorisation. It's not a location, as presently stated: it's only a concept of The Author's unrelated to any action in the text. It's a Place (imaginary, at that), but it might be alone in that category; any ideas? --Old Dickens (talk) 18:22, 2 January 2013 (PST)
- Concepts, possibly? Although it's not technically a Discworld concept so that one doesn't really fit either... "Roundworld concepts"? TC01 (talk) 09:44, 4 January 2013 (PST)
- Funny, that's (roughly) where I thought you were until the new wiki time turned out to be PST and I thought you'd moved or fooled me. Why is the wiki in San Jose, then?

- It used to be GMT, then Sanity changed to Gouda time at a recent upgrade. He didn't have your alternatives, I guess. I keep mine on GMT. San Jose was a good guess! --Old Dickens (talk) 15:16, 4 January 2013 (PST)

On Discworld?
Power Cable seems an unlikely term on a world without electricity. --Old Dickens (talk) 14:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC) Without electricity as we know it... maybe an Igor's lightning conductor inspired the name for a settlement... or else an Uberwaldean/Borogravian name (Poerkabel?) Strill working on the "Nebraska" part, though!AgProv (talk) 21:12, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Overview
There are two interpretations here: the small city or suburb in the US "flyover", somewhat remote and susceptible to advertising agencies on the northeast and southwest coasts (originally my concept), or the really insignificant Scrotesque backwater suggested by AgProv. I'm not that confident in mine any more. --Old Dickens (talk) 04:11, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
