Agreed, I'm missing my daily dose of snappy remarks. Hope all is well??

I had almost decided to come make a post inquiring about how one immigrates and acquires the same vacation plan.

And all is right with the world! The daily news is back baby!!

Where? I don't see a Daily Insider? I see a Daily Build from yesterday though.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Over a week is a good vacation plan? Am I too European to get this?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

My UPS went out and I need to get another on. There are so many different flavors. I'm not really sure what I need. What I'm really looking for is something to kick in & keep me powered if the power goes out.
I'm looking on Amazon and I see many different ones with XXX Amps & xxx Volts. Some say 'Surge & Battery', and some say just 'Surge'. Some are a mix of both. Some have a 'data line' option.
What's the basic idea? What do I really need?

Good Morning Jeremy,
Have you had the opportunity to "test" your setup with a real power failure?
I am curious as to how well it worked, and if the pretty lights looked nice in the dark 
Best wishes from Minnesota,
Craig

Unfortunately, yes. Where I live now the power loves to flicker on and off a lot. It's the reason I got it. It handles up to 900w, but with my monitors and PSU I can draw that much much no problem.
So, if I'm going all out, the power probably won't last that long, but it's certainly long enough for me to quit what I'm doing and shutdown properly. And it handles the flickers like a champ.
I've only had it for about a year though, so we'll see how long it hangs in there.

I'm with you. Back in beginning of 2020 I bought APC and I bought them at the local Best Buy because I wanted to insure they weren't knock-offs.
I bought smaller ones because I knew I just needed 30 minutes or so because we have surges and short outages all the time.
I now have 3 of these units (2 keeping the network up & 1 for one particular computer).
APC is the way to go. 
My five-year old unit is still keeping me up and running during short outages.

I had no idea either, and did much the same as Jeremy.
The main problem I had was delivery - if it's lead acid based, then it's HEAVY - and the first two that were delivered had clearly been dropped / thrown / fallen off the truck and had to go back. And given that the max distance it could travel in the UK is around 800 miles, that doesn't bode well ...
The third one was fine, and lasted a couple of years before just dying when the power failed - batteries were fine, but when it switched to backup, it stopped powering it's own electronics ... 
I didn't replace it.
"Data line" I think menas a USB connection to your PC so you can monitor battery power etc. Handy, but the PC software tends to be pretty ropey.
