Make an offer of $0.01. Assuming the responses aren’t automated, every time they reject it, raise the offer by 1c. Keep doing it till you hit the $15 mark and then just stop. It could waste literal years of their time.

This is excellent news. Who knew that you could appoint people who actually know what the fuck they’re talking about into roles that are relevant to their expertise. What a time to be alive.

Yeah that’s what I assumed but it was just so out of left (right?) field that it took me by surprise!

What’s the betrayal of women’s rights all about?

The boring answer is that just like “shields up”, it’s there to help the audience. Maybe they did a take where she just hurries away and it looked weird so they added that line.

Or maybe she just really needed to go for a Commander Data, if you catch my drift.

I’ll have to have a look when I’m next in the vacinity but I’m pretty sure I have an APC Easy UPS on mine and it works out of the box.

Let me get back to you…

Update: It’s an APC Back-UPS 850. No doubt the instructions banged on about requiring Powerchute but I just plugged it into the Syno and it worked fine. You do need to enable UPS support on the NAS itself of course, from Control Panel/Hardware & Power/UPS, and set it to USB UPS.

My guess for the downvotes would be that it’s just not feasible to vote for policies unless your views align with one of the two major parties, but as it is we’re all basically stuck with voting tactically. Had the Alternate Vote gone through in 2011 then this site would no doubt be invaluable.

I’ve tried a few “third party” smart bulbs as it were but, expensive as they are, nothing comes close to Hue for colour accuracy and general responsiveness. As you didn’t specify “cheap”, Hue will always be my recommendation.

That said, if you do want “cheap” and want to avoid WiFi then the Innr bulbs are fairly decent for the price. I’ve got about 15 of their spotlight style bulbs and they were half the price of the Hue alternatives.
