Now, with bonus chicken!
This is the power bank Uncle B bought me for my birthday. I was trying to show you the number on the side (which tells you how much juice it has left) and what looks like a solid LED display to the human eye flickers like unto a bastard when you see it through the phone camera. Weird.
I love this thing. Ordinarily, I use it with my laptop so I can spend longer in the garden, but it’s way too hot to run a computer for very long today. Mine naturally runs hot. Just popping on to post this.
I love that. But what I really love is that it charges my phone faster than it discharges itself, so I can charge my phone, then charge the bank, then charge my phone, then charge the bank and effectively stay out here forever. I knew it was going to be a ‘sitting in the garden like a lump watching YouTubes all day’ kind of a day.
Day three of the hoochie coochie. I know from a childhood in Tennessee that if you sit perfectly still in the shade, you’ll be fine.
Spent the day watching porch pirate revenge videos. Sadly, the robot tells me most of them are AI. So I went back and watched Mark Rober’s old Glitter Bomb versus Porch Pirate series. He’s the real deal.
