If this is about the US, notice that they used to have intra-party elections as a strong cultural requirement before going into the main election. They only stopped requiring that very recently.

You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

Just like functional programing is about making state explicit, not making it go away.

Overall, both arms are wrong… so they cancel out or something like that.

And it still doesn’t work. Just “mostly works”.

Good luck, the instances can’t just be started in any random order and at their current version their dependency graph is cyclical.

The EU doesn’t want to be at war with Russia.

Russia also should really not want to be at war with the EU, but as you noticed, they don’t seem to care much about what they should do. If they fuck around enough, they may find out, but they are betting they won’t.

You expect people to take their money from stocks and put into what exactly?

Putting it in “someplace safe like our pockets” is neither safe, nor something people can do in large numbers. They can put it in bank accounts in large numbers, how safer than stocks do you think those are?

If you think it’s jarring to mix names from different languages with English keywords… well, I have bad news for you.

The language is entirely in English. Only the comments and values are in Portuguese.

You think that about math not being localized too?

What does “done” mean to you, and how possibly can it be final?

With those 3 pads, you’ll need something else hanging there.

Does he never turn back into energy and flow back into the rings? I always assumed he just does that, but I’m not sure what is actually on those cartoons anymore.

You will eventually reach a room with a worse situation than that one, and then your entire edifice falls apart again.

That “most likely no one is bothered” part is correct, though.

If they are Perl regexes, like all regexes are supposed to be, you can have non-semantic whitespace and comments.

But if you are using some system that enforces something different, you are out of luck.

Aren’t the budgets based on the tax income for the districts?

Tax income is usually larger on mixed-use land, that rich people tend to avoid…

I can’t even begin to understand how one could segregate water… But then, I don’t doubt it, I just don’t know how it’s possible.

If you eat only a couple of crumbs, that checks out. The OP didn’t say how much of bread he’s eating.
