Question for a sparky

I have two pendant lights like this.
One stopped working. Switched the globes and still didnt work (both globes fine).
Is it possible for the electrical wire in the rope to snap or stop working?

Get in the roof, the plug may have just become detached, push it back in
 
where did the phrase ‘nepo baby’ come from

up until a month ago I’d never heard it and now it is everywhere
Nepo is short for nepotism. For example, people like Xander McGuire and Tom Browne are nepo babies because of their connections and not necessarily experience.

Just watching Louis CK and he did a bit on accents and how a guy still had a Puerto Rican accent despite talking through a hole in his throat.

I wondered would this be true?

He thought bypassing the mouth would change the accent?

Where does the accent start? must be deeper than the throat?

people who have had their vocal chords removed don't actually 'talk through' the stoma - it is just used for breathing and coughing stuff up. Usually they block the hole when speaking.

they talk either using the esophageal voice, or some sort of prosthesis to simulate the vibration and tonal modulation usually produced by the voice box - the sounds are still largely shaped in the mouth (hence the accent persisting)

there are also other learned aspects of accent (e.g. how you use words and which syllables you tend to stress) which are unrelated to the physical mechanics of speaking
