It's looking like it'll be down for a few more hours.

At approximately 7:30am local time this morning our Phoenix datacentre (location AZ1) began to experience network disruptions due to a rise in temperature.

This was caused by the failure of multiple cooling units within the facility after overnight storms in the area, which eventually caused a shutdown of all equipment in the building, including our network providers and power to our servers.

The latest information we have is that ~50% of building cooling is back online, and that within the next 2 - 4 hours we will be able to regain access to our equipment to assess the situation safely. This will allow us to restart our network and bring customer servers back online.

Ooof, that's terrible form by the comic book shop. A pull list is a contract between a customer and store. This one broke it for a quick buck.

From r/comicbooks

Comic shop owner told us he won’t sell us the Bizarro he let us put on our pull list

We put Bizarro Year None on our pull list and showed up when the store opened this morning, and then the owner told us that he saw they’re being sold for 4x cover price on eBay so he won’t be selling them to us and will instead be putting everything he got in on eBay. Just wondering if that’s normal/ happens often.
