Mmmm, prions.

Then output power will be less of a concern, the main thing will be how many charges you get out of it. Compare your phone’s mAhr rating to the power bank’s.

Nah they’re all simple. The basic specs I listed are just that, the devices themselves are completely straightforward, almost too much so. Literally just a single button to wake it up and flip between screens that show input/output values and remaining charge. Power stations will also have buttons to turn on/off AC and DC outputs separately.

The thing you pay more for is charge capacity in Ahr (they like to list mAhr as it has extra 000) and input/output power in W.

There are literally tons of choices now, all pretty decent. It’s all grey label Chinese rebrands. Anker used to be the quality king, but Iniu and Ugreen are brands also on Amazon that are of the same quality.

The decision should be more about what you want from it. Power output of the ports, charge capacity, price.

If you have a laptop you should look into how much it uses to charge. 45W, 65W or 100W are common levels, and often available from power banks (although gaming laptops may prefer more, they’ll still take what they can get). Even if your laptop charger uses a barrel connector you can actually charge it from at least one of the USB ports - great to know when your relative loses their charger!

Phones don’t require that much. However you may want to consider the charging levels with multiple devices - a 100W port might downgrade to 65W if a second device is plugged in. It also might not, really depends on the product. Like I say, the choice is about what you want from it.

There’s a beefy one now with 160W max with 3 USB-C (2 with captive cables) each capable of 100W, plus a USB-A. 25Ahr charge capacity.

Also you can get a power station with an AC inverter if you really want it all. They typically have a range of outputs, even a cigarette lighter socket, and often contactless charging on top. You can also get a solar cell to charge them. However with increased capacity comes increased price.

Where are these “highways” you speak of?

“Won’t someone think of the children?!!”

One parent said their child is ‘less wired’ after spending time outdoors

This just in: Middle Class Parent Cures Autism with Outdoor Play.

If your kid doesn’t look like this you’re clearly doing parenting wrong.

“I take a hit, but it smells like a glove; oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano”

Offspring ruined my pronounciation.

I refuse to believe that a majority of people say “Haitch”. They’re the left side of the graph.

All the great bits of Great Britain aren’t English, but the Welsh do come out with some pervy bastards. Like, many rural people shag sheep, but the Welsh did it enough to get the name for it.

Many sex offenders serve out their sentence and are eventually released. If anything, the general consensus is that the UK justice system is too lenient on sex offenders (albeit the reality is far more nuanced than most discussions acknowledge).

No, they very clearly meant H from Steps. Pmsl.

Wtf, the official HIGNFY youtube channel is blocked in the UK?!

Yeah, the bulk of the cost is actually running the live show, the cost of an editor is relatively low. Then, the difference in cost between an editor making two cuts and making one cut is pretty negligible.

Bull-fucking-shit. This is simply cost cutting, when they really need to be firing all their overpaid biased presenters and the upper management installed by Tories.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is something of an attack by the same management on the likes of Ian Hislop.

To be fair, I can’t remember the last time I watched a UK music TV channel. And when I did, it was almost never MTV.

MTV were at their height when they did other programs, like Cribbs and Beavis & Butthead. Pretty sure they’ve had some other good shows recently too, but they’re aired on other networks. I’ve definitely seen their logo at the start. It’s weird though, I’ve just tried looking up what the shows might have been, but all I see is reality crap - it’s almost like they don’t want to advertise the good stuff they’ve made.

Edit: Wait, here we go. Shows like Tulsa King, Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Mobland; all were produced by MTV. And of course the new Beavis and Butthead.

Samsung is more of a dumpster fire than specifically Zionist.

I’m sure “mouth rot” has nothing to do with anything that’s being dumped up river and washing out through the estuary they inhabited.

Old houses, particularly old village houses made of wattle and daub, can be amazing. They can have a thermal lag where they’re cool inside in the middle of summer yet warm inside in the middle of winter.

When I was at uni a friend who was looking for a flat said something that kind of blew my mind about what I had been looking for with places to live. I pointed out that he could have saved a chunk of money a month on rent by getting a different place. He said “Yeah, but I’ve got to think about my standard of living.”

It’s not wasteful to use energy if you’re making use of it.
