This is a hair distinct, but I just ordered a new UPS, same model I
had for the better part of four years from APC, I didn't even use the
new USB cable, just plugged the one already hooked up into the new
one, sometimes it's just time to go ahead and buy new.  The fault I
saw last night was clearly not just needing a new battery, but that
the unit was failing.  Same shit different date, as they say, I've
been using these devices for 20+ years.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
