I actually do this. Rotate food down one shelf every week. Bottom shelf goes into the trash

most AVR, automatic voltage regulators, won’t allow for rapid switching on and off.

Actively cooled UPSes, especially the ones that do more active double conversions, absolutely always have the fan on.

pipes come in many sizes! cardboard tubes as well

You could use rough sand paper on the pipe to make it grippy, or add antislip tape to it

A big PVC pipe? So they are all in one location

PCU: power conditioner unit?

VRU: voltage regulator unit?

While the UPS does have lots of upside, there are some downsides to consider:

Battery is a consumable, off gas venting, perhaps active cooling fan noise

It’s a dichotomy. You have to decide what’s more important. Showing support for a niche game maker, or saving money and getting a stable version of the game.

oh interesting, what reasons make the ups safer?

It doesn’t sound like you need a UPS. It sounds like you needed automatic voltage regulator.

It’ll condition the power so it’s clean, and if it’s not clean it’ll cut the power off.

Many good UPS’s have a voltage regulator built in, but then you have the hassle the battery and everything. Up to you depends on what’s easier to find for you locally

it’s about consent. asking people to volunteer is fine, but mandating it isn’t. People have lives, kids, obligations, which might be worth more then two days of time in lieu.

That’s just a bad way to run a company

Amazingly I had a fiber outage during the same window you did. Though I had symmetric backup fiber from a different company that didn’t go down.

Funny story, when the first primary fiber came back up, the configuration on the device made it such that only port one was usable, but we were using a different port. So I had a personal extended outage for another 3 days until I figured that little nugget out

at $70 a game, that’s $70 million dollars in revenue!

But I think the rumor mill has the games budget around 250m dollars.

Their break even point is 5.5 million units sold. Maybe when they release on steam

Never thought I’d get to share this … Super Sinia does lots of video blogs about her life, she spent many years on Diego Garcia!

Donate to a non-profit organization, that’s well audited and regulated, that’s not a problem.

Donating to a for-profit organization is a huge problem. The incentives are all misaligned. And should not be encouraged.

Shouldn’t it be a venom counter?

If it was going to be poison, you have to eat it right? If it bites you it’s venom
