Would the standard local js fallback pattern solve this? window.jQuery || document.write(' \x3C/script>')

I am some kind of weird mutant because I consider having external javascript on my website to be an embarrassment for anything bigger than a hobby project -- but 99% of the universe behaves otherwise.
That's because the other 99% understands how browser caching works. If you use JQuery.com, Google, or Microsoft's CDNs then MOST of the time users won't have to download a JQuery/Boostrap/etc library as the browser would already have an unexpired cache of it. For example, the OP's link's cache will expire (theoretically) in the year 2079. So if a user visited ANY page that utilises JQuery v1.10.2 they already have it…
I fully understand how browser caching works, which is why I know that making the first request to my website immeasurably faster is not worth betraying my user's privacy and my website's stability. At the very least, everybody using CDN-hosted jQuery should also have a fallback copy.

Would just using another CDN be just as safe?
No, no particular reasons. It is just the safest fallback. Presumably if a user is even able to run that script (since you yourself are hosting it) the library would also be available (i.e. either both are down or neither).

#44Here's a post on stack overflow from July 30, 2012. Looks like the same thing happened 2 years ago. Not sure why they renewed it for only 1 year again considering it's expired twice in 2 years.
