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.

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 🤓
