I'd be absolutely fine with this meme remaining a static image, you can keep your tokens.

It is fine. Because we (my last gig was an IT service company basically replacing the IT department for companies too small to have a dedicated dept) also sell UPS (uninterruptible power supplies) and power outages don't last longer than a few moments here (and if they do, it usually is someone's fault). So either our customers don't even notice the outage, only their workstations shut down or in the worst case the affected customer's servers shut down in order and turn back on automatically. Or, in the worst case from a customer's perspective, they finally do buy a UPS.

My fav was when our colo ran a gen test and it was fine, later when they actually lost grid power it kicked over fine, but when the grid came back the gen stopped but the switch refused to switch back. Something about the sense appliance being on the wrong source. They had to emergency fly someone out to move the connection to the right spot.

Watched about ~1 mil in time/oee/in process material well past expiry times/etc go up in smoke because a "power glitch" brought down an edge switch but the cabinet is now tied to high voltage because a project manager lied on his resume so no one arc flash trained was on site because apparently 65k isn't a great salary for a mechanic. The power glitch was someone did open the cabinet even though no one was qualified and fucked the entire floor of MFG which has brought about an awesome hunt that will surely lead to an OSHA visit.

Honestly one of the best weekends I've had in ages.
