@Tinnitus@lemmy.world, this is the answer.

The important part is that its giving clean power to your hardware, and it only needs to last long enough to shut down nicely. Batteries in these units are usually just car or wheelchair batteries, so you can get them cheaper just as a regular battery too.

You can also grab an older UPS with a crapped out battery for cheap and swap the battery. Last time I did that I got the UPS for $10 (local pickup) and put a new battery in for $20 from Lowes. Battery is still solid, its been about 5 years for that one.

Worth taking a look at the battery - especially an old one on a repurposed device - before considering it safe. Spicy pillows happen.

US power sucks plenty!

Texas is an extreme example, but outages happen everywhere. It was only a bit over 10 years ago when Sandy basically hit half the US and took power out in the tristate area for weeks. With climate change making things worse…

But even when things are running well, not including the random downed line or busted transformers, its still better to give your hardware clean power and avoid the small spikes.

If I can, I buy direct downloads.

If I can’t do that, I’ll buy the CD (as long as its direct or a small label).

If I can’t, or its one of the big labels, I’ll find it elsewhere. I’d rather buy merch to support the artist directly than buy anything that goes through the big labels.

Maybe it’s just to me, but liberal/national coalition and labor seem like the two major parties, green is barely at the table still.

If you exclude the coalition, national has 4 times the representation of green, and liberal 3 times that.

Just my opinion here, but it’s still two major parties, with the thirds coming up in ranks and getting some momentum going. It’ll be a good day imo when the greens overtake the nationals (and maybe one day the liberals), but I personally don’t see it as representative of the people yet. Improving, but still functionally two parties.

It’s still not that old (~10 years or so iirc), it takes time for a third party to be major contentender. Earlier on you’re more likely to see third party wins in more local than national level elections.

It’s not an insta-win for third parties. But that’s ok, because local elections matter, and that’s where you’d typically see results first.

It’s on reddit going back quite a few years, with a recent tracker update:

Mythbusters streamlined is like that. A bit rough on some cuts imo, but overall just cuts the fluff.

I firmly disagree, your brothers taught you the correct greeting.

52 is already at its limit, I think he’ll be page 53 of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers.

Dockge would be more appropriate for that.

Watchtower has different functionality, mainly keeping them up to date with images.

You want Jenkins, GH Actions, or even ansible.

Get rid of the plastic, attach it to one of your own gloves.

Way better experience. Also really good for home grown vr in the early 90’s (combined with some LCDs nabbed off camcamcorders and a VGA to s-video (or composite) converter).

i’d love to see a new powerglove. Though I think at this point an esp32 and some sensors could do all the same tricks… Hmmmm…

Ooh, missed that one - thanks!

Thanks!

And I appreciate your choice (considering a good number of communities I enjoy are on your instance).

Personally I think anything prod level should be manual updates only anyway.

Do you have any recs on good solarpunk movies/documentaries?

I think you a whole word there.

Though I think you can have romance at the start and friendship together personally.

I can’t confirm that sentiment.

I have no idea who has been in her mouth, but I’d assume some of them would be repulsive too.

I agree. I wouldnt go so far as saying it was off the table as a possibility, but I wouldn’t call it attempted rape.

I don’t know what the minimums and maximums are for his actual crime, but I do hope the testimony of what happened was factored into the decision.

It’s from the SPLC report, so it’s their methodology:
