We have blippy power in the windy season, a 1 second outage was enough to trash hardware, not to mention dirty power you may not visibly notice. My UPS kicks in every few weeks for a few seconds to provide clean power when the utility is falling short or over volting. Having a battery take over is super helpful

To tell the truth I wouldn't have thought about it. A stray deranged dog or racoon would raise alarm bells, but we set bats here at night always, and didn't consider the risk. Oops

Long rant: Almost every CEO misinterprets LEAN / Theory of Constraints philosophy. The goal is to track ypur product through /dev/production/manufacturing etc and only focus on improving flow and remove hinderences. By tracking that as focus and not $ you improve the system and product, and the savings of waste take care of the $. in the theory is a maxim of (manufacturing version) a workpiece product should never wait on a machine. This means a piece ready for work to be done should be able to move to next workstation and have an open resource ready, if that means two machines, with one idle typically, that is fine, since it means every stage can move forward to next and piece is accommodated. Some how almost every CEO interprets this to mean we buy one machine and schedule it for 100% uptime so it doesn't wait empty. (Their lease or purchase accounting even encourages this so they can show a lower cost per hour, even though that machine is a sunk cost you have to pay for regardless of use %) This mindset forces waste and bottle necks to various other parts of system and creates inefficiencies. When they see failures they start messing elswhere and then firing staff to cut labour overhead when they are focuse on profit, not improvement.

At the beginning of COVID a coworker told me all you had to do was go outsIde every morning and breathe deep and blow the virus out.

People actually believe facebook nonsense

You missed a group, those that accept it and realize death is the final stage of life and have a positive outlook.

My Cancer doctor said I was to happy for having a Cancer diagnosis. And another person I met at the hospital was also jovial. I asked him how he was positive, to see why we had a different outlook than those in dispair. He said "I have lived a good life, every day I wake up is a just a bonus day, why mope when it coyld be your last, enjoy it"

There was some study of heartbreak syndrome, apparently when a spouse dies the stress and emotions can mess with hormones/adreniline, etc and cause issues with the connective tissues in the heart (weaken or harden, I forget) and impedes the heart sonetimes till it stops working , so died of " broken heart " is a real thing

Drat!

Debian and Ubuntu derivatives will not install, or if they do they wont boot, on one of machines...due to some weird bug issue thst other distros acknowledge and bypass. Had that been my first experience of linux I would hate it. Thankfully RPM based was my first experience and the hardware had no issues.
