Oh lord, this is the worst news to come from this week.
It was a high bar, but they cleared it.
They did (in the US). Bain Capital bled them dry and then sold off the scraps. There have been a few attempts to revive the brand but to my knowledge nothing has stuck yet.
Yes... yes I do.

Glory to you and your mobile suit
Saw this posted recently and it fits quite nicely.
A curious choice of fondue
If we take the edge off of the fan, it'll be much less energy efficient.
You are correct, generator is the way to go, with the UPS covering for the transfer time. AC goes on the generator.
Unless you don't spec the generator to be able to handle the AC and have to do a song and dance with rolling units for every power outage. Then the AC sits idle while the undersized rolling unit just barely keeps the room below 95 degrees.
Or if you build out an office in an area famous for hurricanes and instead of a generator you buy a shitton of (physically compatible but logically incompatible) battery banks, reinforce the floor to hold the weight, then complain about not being able to have an accurate remaining runtime during an outage and bitch about people having to be sent home because it's now 90 degrees and humid inside the cube farm and why isn't the AC on battery we have so much battery.
And then the same people walk away with millions when the company gets bought out and they move on to their next victim to do it all over again.
tfw you have a few months left in savings and finally get around to looking up disability and it's all "we'll get around to it in 6-9 months."

WE ARE ALL DOOMED
As an American a couple months out from not being able to pay housing costs, I appreciate the empathy. Sorry about the cultural exports that have been going north.
