Balls corroded, smoke detector has a lump. Is that bad?
Breasts ran out of storage
Balls: Check
Breasts: Check
Backups: *looks in basement* Check
I don’t have any of those! I think I was built wrong…
You should at least have backups. And if you have gas where you live, a CO detector. Balls and breasts can be good fun but definitely aren’t necessary.
Okay so how do I get balls and breast, you had me at aren’t necessary
I was born with balls and then just ate enough to also get breasts.
If it weren’t for balls and breasts, we wouldn’t even have smoke detectors.
I don’t have a backup, tell me where does one go for a backup procedure? Is it painful, securely stored, climate controlled, I have so many questions!!!
Can be as simple as copying files to an external disk and keeping it outside your house, like locker at your work.
Keep 2 in rotation.
Thanks I never knew it was that simple to make a personal backup?
Excuse me for asking more questions, but how do access my files, I don’t have a USB port installed. Also how large of drive do I need. And for recovery, if all I have are the external disks, but the original host is dead - how do I get a new host for the files?
Shit, I can’t find the backup batteries for my balls.
Did you look in your pockets?
How the fuck do I check the battery in my UPS beyond “works”
Some have self tests options. If you have a small one, just unplug it and see if the battery holds at all. If it’s dead it will die really quick.
I haven’t used a UPS in like 25 years. Don’t they have battery life indicators now? If not, that seems pretty useless.

Some have an app you can install on your pc that tells you.
Yup! I got some cyberpower ones from costco. Wrote a script to test and send me the results first saturday of each month. If it fails, there goes my saturday lol.
Sometimes they get into a state that requires a hard reset. Happened to me a few times and was losing power during brownouts. Learned to test regularly after that.
I don’t have an UPS 😬
Might invest in one tho
Fun fact: “ups” is Danish for “oops”.
Which is probably part of the reason why the parcel service only started operating here a few years ago…
you can add this fun fact to your local giggles for UPS
The company UPS started in Seattle during the Alaskan gold rush days to distribute opium.
Same in Slovenian
TIL UPS is still trying to break into markets.
Reminds me of how the Chevy Nova failed miserably in Mexico because it sounds like “no vas” which means “doesn’t move.”
See also the Hyundai Cunt, the Ford Tiny Penis, the Lamborghini Flat Tire, and others 😆
And German
Honestly with modern filesystems I haven’t seen a need for a UPS. I’ve had unexpected power outages on my PCs more times than one might think (something something old house, animals and kids) and the most I’ve had was some ZFS errors in a temporary VM for some temp files that corrupted. Maybe I should get one for my home server, but its already entirely built on a shoestring budget so a UPS would cost more than the entire system
I’ve had to replace 5 SSDs (2x SKHynix, 3x WD) in the past 4 years due to being stuck in either read or write-only mode due to brownouts. A good DC-DC UPS solves it.
Ah brownouts would absolutely do it. Brownouts really kill electronics since its not no power but low power (assuming you mean the technical definition of a brownout) and most protection circuitry isn’t designed to protect against lower than expected mains voltage/amperage/frequency

You’re welcome
They’re all dead.
write dates on your
Backups
Batteries (ALL OF THEM)
Put dates on your CO2 detectors and Smoke Alarms. They do not work forever and have a limited lifeline. They shouldn’t be used after the expiration of that time.
PUT DATES ON THOSE THINGS. Sharpies work great for that.
Any smoke alarm I’ve seen always has the year of production on them, or the year of expiry (typically 10 years after production).
When my smoke detector is low on battery, it lets the whole neighborhood know about it.
They could design them to be somewhat less annoying. Some people might just be tempted to disable them altogether because of this shit.
As it is people are tempted to smash them with hammers.
Win?
My CO2 detector is the opposite. If it’s running low on batteries it occasionally makes a single blip sound for about one microsecond every 40 minutes.
Nice
How do you check the UPS battery?
Mine is a double press of the power button, if the battery is off it throws a trouble code
Hit it with a hammer
As the regretful owner of a ball pit, I wish I didn’t see this.
I’m trying to figure out if you are a transfer and upset you still have testicals…
Or you literally bought a ball pit to play in now are think you have the check all the balls fo sweat, piss, shit, fungus, mold whatever else festeres in those…
This one weird trick, soap and water. Microbes hate it.
Jokes aside, from what age is it recommended to check your balls annually as (for early detection/prevention of prostate diseases)?
Checking your balls won’t find prostate issues. It’s for catching testicular cancer and you should have been regularly checking them since puberty. Just give em a quick feel about once a week in the shower.
As far as prostate exams, those used to start at 40 years old but they aren’t really recommended anymore unless you have a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors. It turns out they rarely caught anything anyways.
I don’t think you will detect things in your prostate by checking your balls. i think regular urologist visits like every two years is recommended from 40, sooner if you have a family history of prostate or rectal cancer.
Don’t forget yo momma’s basement
