40 Gigabit Server Rack Upgrade FAIL

Added 2022-09-12 22:09:40 +0000 UTC

In the quest for a 40 gigabit switch in my server rack, sometimes you come across a deal you just can't pass up. For $175, I was able to get my hands on a brand new Brocade ICX 6610 40 gigabit switch upgrade. And it works... for only $3,000 extra....

BUT FIRST.... What am I drinking?

You all know I love Sticky Hands Double IPA from Block 15. Well this is "Brewer's Cut" Sticky Hands with a unique blend of 6 DIFFERENT hop varieties. It did not disappoint. But after this video.... I might need another. 8.1% ABV
