Yes.

All of it should be. Why the fuck shouldn’t it be stopped too? Wtf?

No, hard disagree.

I have many thousands of dollars worth of hardware. I have seen the results of a surge. I have seen a NAS reduced to a paper weight. You’re making incredibly silly assumptions here - this has nothing to do with uptime, and everything to do with protecting your equipment.

You will not ever convince me otherwise, because I’m not willing to dump thousands of dollars on replacements because someone on the internet thinks it has anything to do with uptime.

You are wrong.

Edit: anywhere that weather exists is an area with “unreliable electricity”. Full stop.

The nice thing about some battery backup is not keeping it running during an outage, but safely shutting it all down.

I agree on the laptop battery, I’m just disagreeing on battery backup. It serves a purpose, as does decent surge elimination.

Unfortunately, I am. Too much capsaicin messes with digestion (slows it down), and causes more stomach acid.

So with my gastrointestinal system’s hatred of my body (including food allergies which wreak havoc on me), I am at the top tier of too damn white to get to enjoy the heat anymore. So, I guess thanks for a new pepper I can check out!

Oh that’s unfortunate, thats not how they run things here. I haven’t been in a while, but its more like a bunch of DMs and everyone gets randomly assigned to a table. Games are 30 minutes, and then rotating tables. Its more about trying out some different games than anything else.

They did have a separate night they’d host, but those were reserved rooms (like a conference room setup, TV available for map display). More like a night for regular players to have a regular space to play, but its kind of obvious (with the reserved signs on the rooms and all).

There’s a hobby/ttrpg store nearby that hosted game nights every week. They’d try out a new game.

There wasn’t a big crowd, but went out wife my wife to dinner and there were definitely people chatting from different groups at the bar. Dont know if they knew each other though, its not that big of a city.

I think there are still places to go, its just harder for a lot of people to go out. Even my wife and I, we haven’t had a dinner just us in a few years (kids).

I’m not sure you should have a Lowe’s Associate as a legal advisor.

Here’s Home Depot covering it

The relevant text:

Corded blinds are dangerous to children and pets. Roughly one child per month dies from blind cord strangulation, and more than 600 children per year are injured. That’s nearly an average of 2 preventable injuries to a child per day. Between 1990 and 2015, more than 16,000 children were injured.

New Voluntary Standards

• The Window Covering Manufacturers Association decided safer standards in January 2018.
• Manufacturers adopted the new standard on cordless blinds in December 2018.
• In 2019, all standard model window blinds were expected to be cordless.

Cordless Blinds & Law

• Corded blinds are not regulated under state or federal legislation.
• New, safer guidelines allow for cords on custom-made coverings.
• Per WCMA standards, custom cords should not be longer than 40% of the window height.

Considering our use is not to the general public, we’d be better off with an entirely different strategy.

This is one where there is a significant economic cause and effect.

People not having free time, money for activities, hobbies, etc - this impacts our ability to be social.

Yeah… I didn’t choose it, but some of the services from my employer run there. May be a good time to make some moves, we’ll see.

Not really going to be an issue I can fix obviously, but I’ll be making even more backups than normal…

They aren’t illegal to sell.

Manufacturers can’t make them any longer, existing inventory is permitted to be sold off. So they can be found on amazon, ebay, and a bunch of other places still. Just won’t see any new stock coming in, and places that have less stock (as in, not gigantic warehouses) haven’t been getting new ones in for some time. Nearly a year now I believe.

I have a feeling the big impact is going to be in other services, namely AWS. Makes me wonder if some new global outages are coming, which are always fun to deal with.

Same here (in terms of general approach, though I can’t buy generic cereal anymore, need that gluten free logo).

There was a vast difference for me in generics of omeprazole, and the first few generics of dexlansoprazole. Not as critical as an epi-pen obviously, but the delivery mechanism for pills can be so different it absolutely makes a difference.

Personally I’d go with 34", but I’m an ultrawide kind of person.

I’m even considering the ridiculously wide 49" lenovo, at 5120x1440 it certainly beats the 2560x1440 and companion 1080p display I use today.

Prosecutors can amend charges, they are probably still collecting evidence to determine if they can prosecute a higher charge, which is when they’d bring in something like attempted murder.

I’m sure there is some legally restricting element like “a clear intent to kill” which would have to be demonstrated in court to have that charge stick.

There is nothing native (though a few options have been played with, AFAIK never completed because…), but there are a ton of integrations. You can use webhooks to teams, there are python wrappers for the API, even a google docs integration.

Probably the lowest code option would be to find someone else’s tool for snipe-it (sorry I’ve never looked), or do something like snipe it to google sheets to be imported as a CSV or something.

Or take a peek at some others in the same territory, or maybe ticketing systems with simple asset management.

But i think something like snipe-it, if not exactly, is going to be the right territory of what you’re looking for

Its about $2.6 billion per week in revenue, even by the weekly numbers its not an impact

(based on ~$135b in revenue for 2023, according to financial disclosure reports)

What about asset management software, like snipe-it? Or are you trying for payment in there too?

You dont really need AI for the correlation when you’ve got usernames being reused so heavily and consistently across numerous social platforms. Just a search engine.

That’s why I say two and saying no you will not turn it off.

A cop fiddling with a camera after being told about it, or turning it off while “mishandling” their own body cam… Yeah that’s a good reason to get things thrown out.

Added benefit of not making it to discovery by not having something planted in your car in the first place.
