I wasn’t gonna block the strait, but then I got high
I was gonna let all the boats go float, but then I got high
Now I’m shooting down Shaheds, and I know why

I’ve got over 2500 hours in Civ VI, and probably double that or more for all previous versions of Civ


Most companies don’t have the staff or experience required to keep applications running all the time.
Yes, I know that this should be basic IT knowledge but I’ve found this sort of problem at dozens of companies throughout my career.
So the offload the problems of high availability and disaster recovery to other folks and pay a monthly fee for it. Then they have someone else to blame when it goes down.
