"English speakers often pronounce "GIF" with either an affricate as in "giraffe"/df/ or a plosive as in "gift"/gf/. The format's creators are quoted as using an affricate to pronounce the acronym. However, many people use the plosive pronunciation in daily conversation. The affricate was used as the developers had a sense of humour "Choosy Developers Choose GIF", making a play on a then-famous commercial for peanut butter."
Yeah I think it's justified. Better to give over a few details than to have your plane taken over by terrorists. Does anyone think their data is more important than their safety?
For the casual player, it probably doesn't matter at all.
But for clan games, or example, stats are used to decide the winner. Some people play for rec only. So for me, a game without stats isn't as rewarding as one without.
8 hours, that's about an average sleep period.
So here's the plan:
The power cuts out, quickly go to sleep. (brush your teeth first:)
Wake up 8 hours later, the power is back on and you'd never know the difference.
(besides the pool of water under your freezer!)
To avoid the freezer problem you collect a few nuts beforehand, then leave the freezer off all winter.
Then you could go all the way and live in a tree!
(Man I have all the best ideas)

If you were one of those people who didn't have access to clean water I think you'd take the risk of drinking fish pee in order to survive!
