Don't forget your charging cable!  Enjoy your break!

Thanks.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

If I do, I think I'll be in deep doodoo.
Just don't go fast with 4 outboards and keep fishing poles where they are easy to see and you should be fine. :laugh:

Enjoy your trip! I enjoy your articles, so be safe, too!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Don't forget your charging cable!

You know, as an aside... I have almost obtained charging cable nirvana... *Just now*... I can charge all my portable gear from one USB type c cord. Not quite...

My laptop will charge via a usb type c port - but it needs a special charger to do it...

My tethered earbuds are mini (b) usb... Nothing for it... but I have a type c to miniB adapter.

My watch needs the Samsung disk charger - but I have a disk that plugs into a usb type c cord, so I dunno if that counts or not.

The phone and the tablet are straight up fast-charge type c.

That's getting pretty close. I can remember when my laptop bag was stuffed full of cords. Type A, miniA, MiniB, and a host of specialty cords.

Now I am down to three. And now I can't go nowhere.
Oh, but the irony stings.  :laugh: :cool:

And Apple finally dumped their proprietary connector for USB-C. There are now tons of battery powered devices/tools of all sorts that use a standard USB-C to charge.

The massive pile of power adapters with different voltages, connectors and AC vs. DC are finally coming to an end.

I'll add that I just throw away all my FireWire and RCA component HD cables.

The dust bin of history...
