EV are much heavier than petrol cars, maybe the offset weight will help regain some grip? Normal tires wear out so fast on EVs.

They could just raise the prize to $198 and slap another 4GB of RAM on it.

Obviously it’s the landlord who do it for profit. It’s not like the tourist just came to the city and shove the residents out of their own home or something like that.

All this would do is shift the profits to hotel chains. The rent will never go down and the landlord will never sell.

That’s old power banks from decade ago. Majority if not all reputable powerbank brands now have charge passthrough.

Some will charge your device to full first, then disconnect the device and charge itself second.

Some will slowly charge both the device and the powerbank itself (I emphasize the Slowly part, probably at 5V 0.5A).

For OP, look for something on the packaging that indicates it have the mentioned above function.

HOWEVER! No good powerbanks will work as a UPS. Because they have built-in protection that will disconnect the power when fully charged or turn itself off when the plugged in devices is full.

I said “good powerbanks” because cheap, no-name one doesn’t have those protections and will keep on trickle charging both itself and the devices, which is really bad.

Also, as a rule of thumb, you DO NOT want to plugged in your lithium battery at all times and keep it at 100%. That’s the recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

A cheap or 2nd-hand acid-battery UPS can be bought for as little as $30-$50 on Ebay, even the smallest one will be capable of powering the noise machine for days.

GOD DAMNIT! For the first time, the stupid American date format is more interesting.

Ok, you just struck a nerve here, that shit drive me crazy.

I’m a first time father of a 6 months old and I love him to death. I want to spend every waking moment with him so I take up as much “baby works” as possible since his birth. Bath, feeding, changing, play, exercise, going outside, doctor appointments, I do all those things.

And EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME I got asked “where’s the mother?”, “Is she busy today so you’re babysitting?”, “Why you have to babysit today?”

HAVE TO? BITCH! This is my fuckin pleasure, I’m craving it, I’m addicted to this little poop machine. GTFO!

I want to yell at their face “THIS IS MY SON, I LOVE HIM, CAN’T I JUST BE WITH HIM!?”

My wife admitted that I do a much better job taking care of our baby. I am kind of “extra careful” type of person and I’ve been taking care of foster newborn kittens for a decade, and believe it or not but some skills does transfer over. Infants is basically function on pure instinct, and I’m damn good at anticipate it. I can accurately translate my son’s cry 90% of the time. He has 3 distinct cries for hungry, sleep, and diaper change, then later another “i’m bored” cry.

My wife would often call me on the phone to have me listen to his crying and ask what’d he want.

I’m a damn good father and I’m proud to take care of him. I don’t have to do it, I GET TO do it!

What else would you like to do? seize the means of production?

Please, make more cat-related community!

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give them the internet?

Tell me more.

I would take anything “world’s first in China” with a shit load of salt.

Yeah that’s what I meant. My lips can move freely while I whistle and it doesn’t affect the sound at all. I just specifically mentioned the “slightly opened lips” as it’s more interesting to the story I’m telling.

I can whistle with my lips just slightly open (like a ventriloquist).

I can make a really high pitched whistle like that and it confused the hell out of other people while they trying to find where the sound came from (high pitched sound is harder to pinpoint the location as it’s bounce around the room).

But as I get older, I find it getting harder and harder to do so. 10 - 12 years ago I can whistle an entire song like that and it would sound crystal clear. Now it’s really hard to follow a tune or make complex sounds.

Is that the new Dyson air filter thingy that create a bubble of fresh air around you?

Hi, Biden.

shhhh…it’s always watching 🤫

It’s evolving, just backwards.

Yeah sometimes it do be like that, especially if you’re searching for some obscure things or localized events then DDG is still worse than GG.
