Summary
Puerto Rico’s latest power outage has left over 1.3 million customers without power on New Year’s Eve.
The outage is attributed to an infrastructure problem at a power plant on the island’s southern coast.
LUMA, the energy company, is working to restore power in phases, but it may take up to 48 hours.
It was toilet paper, but I was afraid of that.
Actually, it was paper towels. Why not fact check before attempting to correct someone?

As the person corrected: I knew they were incorrect, but I also didn’t think it was worth pointing out because what type of disposable paper product he threw really does not matter at all. It certainly isn’t worth being rude to them over it.
Apologies if this came off as rude, I truly meant no harm. While I understand the specifics in this case are relatively trivial to most, my intent was to simply underscore the value of fact checking and attention to detail when correcting someone. This was likely a poor instance to attempt to convey that message.
