I think you meant “propagated”.
How do you monitor your email functionality? How long would it be before you noticed it was offline? What about paying for and configuring the new email server?
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 1 week ago:

- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 1 week ago:
Agree. For clarity, the circuits that show the low-voltage status are much less hungry for current than the circuits that measure weight. So no, having enough battery to report low voltage does not imply that there is enough to make an accurate weight measurement.

- Comment on Mermaid: Diagramming and Charting Tool 2 months ago:
