So many bg3 updates have released on a Friday it's crazy
Hexbear deployed on Xmas eve day. They truly are 
Wildest plan I've ever seen respect to the instance operators
I always referred to them as "Read Only Fridays".
Cloudflare had Friday and weekend major outages as well:

- https://web.archive.org/web/20211016040522/https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-outage-on-july-17-2020/
Then they're wised up and all their recent major outages are on early weekdays.
Never build prod on friday. Just say CIS is down and you need to fix that first.
