- Comment on Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks 1 week ago:
It’s been super reliable. Perhaps at 10 years old they’re extrapolating the failure curve and worried about many more fires.

Different use case. I used this one for hiking the pacific crest trail in 2016, and a few other hikes since. Amazingly, the power banks haven’t even gotten much lighter than this model, and those that are lighter are less reliable. It would be nice is NiMH could match the energy density of lithium, but it’s hard to compete with the lightest solid element.

Yesterday Apple’s TextEdit autocorrected (capitalization) and it made me really mad. I’m trying to type a case sensitive input file using a full keyboard. Leave me the fuck alone.

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. I wish they defined this as any non-transferable software license. If you can’t re-sell it, you don’t own it.

- Comment on How long could one survive with only water and beer and no food? 1 year ago:
Beer is 95% water. If you’re counting on it for all your calories, you probably won’t want to drink any additional water or you lose your precious salt and vitamins.
As others have noted vitamin C and salt are probably the most immediate lacking nutrients. If you had a margarita once a week, I think that might be enough.
Numerous people have done a 40-day fast for lent, taking only beer. So that is easily doable. Multiple months is probably possible, but seasons/years maybe not.
