$100 is a good deal, though with the batteries you probably paid as much as a new one. But you have extra battery life so win.

It’s simple, just look at the picture and…God damn it.

I’ve had good luck with APC. Just be ready to pay a bit more upfront. But so far in the last 6 or 7 years, I’ve only had to replace one battery.

Yeah I read up on them before I bought, APC seemed like the best. I test them at least once a year and so far I’ve only had to replace one battery. Depending on the application I paid between $80 and $180 for each, but the higher upfront cost seems to have paid off for me at least. I am a sample size of 1, your results may vary.

Yep, the black outs have stopped now but for a while it was a daily occurrence. My NAS took a beating and so did my desktop. I spent a ton on ups’s to make sure that stuff was protected and bonus, I wouldn’t loose connection while on phone calls with government officials while at work… they get pissy when you suddenly drop off.

Seriously, one black out and suddenly you see the need for a UPS. Now my desktop is on a USB, my work laptop and monitors are on a UPS, my homelab is on a UPS, even my modem and router are on a UPS. I just wish I could get a backup generator, but that’s not happening anytime soon.

Thank you, I too was out of the loop.

I get it, I’m on political shit posting subs (or whatever we’re calling them here) and get my fill there, regular shit posting subs should be for everyone. We’re all shit posters down here.

Indeed good sir, that would be quite comical.

1 in the winter, 3 or 18 in the summer, and 20 if it’s really hot.

Two problems with that. 1) I work 3rd shift and would be either asleep or just waking up when they close, and 2) I have worked many retail jobs and the last minute customers were despised and I don’t think I could do that to them knowing how it screwed me over ever time.

But thanks for the idea.

Yeah, I know. But it’s nice to dream…

My Costco is flooded with maga, I would love it if they boycotted the store, I have some shopping to do soon.

Dreaming of Bill…

Don’t forget the radical left socialist nazis.

Kingpin (2003) was really good.

And seasons 9 & 10. Should have left it where it ended at the end of season 8.

I literally can’t sleep right now because I’m thinking about work tomorrow night.

I thought for a long time that there should be 4 sites for the Olympics, two for summer and two for winter. The Olympic committee maintains them with help from the host county and donations or dues from the participants counties.

Pick 4 suitable sites in as stable countries as you can find, and build world class facilities there. This whole building all new facilities every time is fucking stupid and wasteful. Besides it’s been shown that the “revenue generated” doesn’t make up for the costs to build, run, and clean up after all of it.

Thanks
