Does anyone have any recommendations on some outdoor USB chargers (preferably USB-C) wall warts? I would love to leave one plugged in on my apartment's balcony without wondering if it'll be totally fried after it rains or something.

I would get a weather proof box for the outlet if you own it, or a baby proofing plastic cover if you don't. Put the charger in that, something the size and quality of the Apple USB chargers should fit under one. At least their older Gen of little cubes. Otherwise look at anker brand stuff.

Their nutrition is like eating a candy bar. The first ingredient on the nutrition info is syrup. I personally think they are tasty but people should think of them like a treat and not an everyday thing unless you're an athlete.

Picked up this used Fuji road bike and added poo poo to make it a commuter (rear rack, lights, fenders, chain/lock, mirrors, smartphone holder). I'll need to replace the clip pedals as I never wear those types of shoes. It's been forever since I rode a road bike (mainly hybrids & mountain bikes) so as soon as the state opens up (theoretically mid-June) I can commute to/from work again.

I ordered this almost a year ago. I think it was technically a pre-order and it was slated for release early this year. But then Australia caught fire, and all that other poo poo happened. It's a wireless timecode sync module for my Atomos Ninja V monitor/SSD recorder. With a couple of other transceivers I already have (TCS Ultrasync Ones), I can timecode lock the Ninja V with my location audio recorder and slate (clapboard). Videography is a new frontier for me and a steep-rear end learning curve, but I am so into it.


Also, this came in the mail today; same retailer but ordered only a few days ago. I have a licensed drone already but it literally won't take off in the 'blue zone' that is almost all of my neighbourhood. This one weighs 249g, 1g shy of having to license and register and having heavy geo-restrictions. It won't fly at the airport but I can legally fly it just about anywhere in the city. It's so light... like a croissant.

I've had an Oasis for the past year after upgrading from a Kindle Voyage. I love the Oasis. It's much more comfortable to use in one hand and the physical buttons are great. The only thing I miss from the Voyage is the origami case and being able to fully palm the voyage to hold it one handed.

I moved from the Paperwhite to the Oasis last Fall and it's so much nicer. I grabbed a nice brown leather case to go with it and with the back design it's so slick to hold. Nice fusion of leather and metal.

I really missed the buttons so having them is fantastic again. Also, the ability to turn it over and use it upside down when I need to charge it while reading in bed (I lie on my belly) is another great perk.

Kindle's are definitely the kind of thing it's nice to treat yourself to for the higher versions since they last for a decade.

I got this handheld air compressor called the air hawk.




As I was testing it out in my living room I hear a crashing sound at my balcony, so I go look, and it was a hawk that must have snatched a pigeon that was resting on my railing.

Good Purchase, I've had mine for several months and have not regretted the purchase at all. The wifi connection can get spotty/interrupted at times, but I've never had it straight up disconnect on me mid flight.

And I'm sure you can search that brand/term and find a non-Amazon store selling them if you are trying to avoid Amazon.

I'm not, but I acknowledge I should be.
