I'm only half kidding. I'm a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn't much but it's a start.

    LOL “…but we know it was us who blacked the sky.”

    —Morpheus (And not the Timothée Chalamet version)

    Nice! I’m gonna have to go back and watch that… either I’ve never seen that version or I’d completely forgotten about that detail.

    And I even watched the TV show ;-)

    It's probably the worst of the Highlanders. There was an updated version called The Renegade Cut that might be better.

    I had no clue they had made so many. Thanks for the bonus tip… was it just bad-bad or cheesy bad? Because I feel like a large part of the appeal for me is the vague cheesiness of the whole series.

    Edit: Got a Standard directors cut, and the renegade version… But in the process, I rediscovered that I recently downloaded Hot to Trot because it was on somebody’s list of worst movies ever. So I’m gonna have to watch that first 😝

    Highlander 2 just makes no sense in general. They bring in some crazy shit about the immortals being aliens from the planet "Zeist" and ridiculous stuff like MacCloud riding a flying hoverboard happens.

    It's still worth watching at least once though

    Oh man… it’s coming back to me now. Was there some kind of weird council of space-elders or something like that? I kinda vaguely remember a scene where MacCloud testifying and lights going on like campfire ghost stories when each person talks?

    IDK, I might be mixing in some Dr. Who 🤓
