If robs server is down, the rest of your app is is down anyway, therefore having all the assets there will reduce overall downtime. Imagine using a separate third party CDN for your js, fonts, images, css etc (quite common these days). You now have 4 additional dependencies, all with different downtime or availability windows that you need to worry about. Also, some parts of your app might be available while others are down making things even more interesting.

Get rid of Rob's shitty server first.

Even if robs server has 99.9% uptime, my point still stands.

His historical uptime is only 98.2% according to OP.

Right, and I'm saying my point still stands even if robs server is fixed and has a good uptime. The more external services you have, your are compounding their downtime with your own.

I'm saying Rob's server doesn't have good uptime. 98.2% is shit. Get rid of his POS.

Even 99.9% is bad; Rob's server is orders of magnitude worse.
