You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I was trying to connect our server 'Dino' but I couldn't. So I walked over to the server room and discovered Dino was off. Ah. Problem solved.

Next problem - which one of you snuck in here last night and shut down Dino?

Did the electric company read the meter this time, sumi (and have they been estimating in the past)?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Have you been running the AC full-blast for the last month?

My guess is Sparky1's idea is right. Or maybe the meter reader read it wrong.

Our rates in Chicago just went up 30% or so.

ION, Dino complains that it's last shutdown was "unexpected." That's all it will tell me.
