Haha. The huge banner at the bottom was a good clue.
Excellent! That proves that the banner is effective.

Well, I'd say that it was successful.

Would you all as a community like to see more AMA's? I was thinking at least one a month (hoping for more but you know holidays).
-
That was fun and there was a lot of good discussion. I think that that is a good idea.
-
Absolutely!

Seriously going to further look into a backup generator for the house... I've had power fail once on me in the last two years though so I doubt there will be a need.

Must be nice. I grew up in the Rochester area so it was a continuous problem there. No matter where I've lived in the world constant power outages have been an issue from Texas to Central America to Ithaca to Europe...
-
Wow... I've never had too much of a problem with power. I've lived in central and northeast Georgia all my life!

I haven't had many power outages in the Rochester area (meaning what do you consider "Constant")
Maybe 3-6 in my life..

That's funny, when I was living in Rochester (downtown in a not so good part of the city) we had 3-5 power outages a semester. It was kind of silly. Thankfully RIT always had power so I just went on campus generally.

Our power goes out at least a half dozen times a year. Most times for just a few seconds (but enough to knock things out). But our infrastructure here is very old.

Almost makes it worth having UPSes on stuff in your home... If not a generator for the whole house.!

Living in that area it was way more than that a year. And I remember times that like my school was without power for two full weeks. A single outage of two weeks!!
-
I do plan on getting a whole-house generator at some point. Of course, I've been "planning on it" for about 10 years now. It will probably happen for real in the next 2-3 years. Maybe sooner, if Eaton has them for the prices I saw yesterday...

It is extremely common out there for people to have generators. When I lived out there we were planning to get one but moved instead. Because I need a CPAP and because power outages so often extend more than a day, it would be a necessity. Otherwise I'd have to go to a hospital just to get sleep!

Absolutely. That's a lower price and a bigger name brand than what I was looking at for the house in Geneseo ten years ago.
-
@scottalanmiller Two weeks with no power? I think that only happened once... Ice Storm of '91; and that was fairly epic.

We haven't had an outage like that in a long time. 6-7 hours yes but a whole week thankfully not.
