Quotecbelt3 Grateful11, I have the small version of that which runs off one 40V cell. I also have the very small that runs off the 18V cell (bought it some years ago). I do find the advertising annoying... "Generator" implies to me an external energy source... solar or wind or hydro or combustion. Battery backup power supply is what they are.. I have the 18V model, picked it up at

QuoteOWC Jamie I tested a number of them. Not great, either they block ports or get very warm to the touch, and had issues with full power delivery. That was with a 15" MacBook Pro, and an 87W adapter. I'd be concerned with 96W or 140W for sure on later models. Thanks Jamie. I appreciate the info. Guess I'll need to do some more research. My power supply I believe is 61W. I've been sta

I think I want one since my 2020 MBP M1 doesn't have MagSafe but I don't want to block my other USB-C port, they could've put them a bit further apart. This article is 2 years old so they may be better ones available and I'm open the suggestions. 10 Best MagSafe (Magnetic) USB-C Adapters for MacBooks & iPads

Re: RIP: Louise Fletcher at 88 [ actress ]..... - 8 months ago

QuotePeterB She was also in the very underrated "Brainstorm" (1983). Really quite a fine actress and highly memorable in her roles. R.I.P. That's a good movie, I've seen it couple times. It was filmed in NC's Research Triangle Park. Good soundtrack too.

I mean if you even have a need for one. I still have my OWC DVD ext. burner and a Pioneer USB Ext. Blu-ray burner. I rarely ever use them unless I buy some used CD's or DVD's to add to my iTunes collection. Seems like a good deal.

I think my Weber Genesis 3 burner will last me the rest of my life. Only thing I've replaced in like 13 years are the flavorizer bars.

Re: Ants! - 8 months ago

When we had the house treated for termites this Spring, the big black ants started staggering out onto the patio eventually dying, lots of them. We used a local company that's been doing this for 75 years and they know this area. The price was very reasonable. They inspected the entire house and said we're good for probably 10 years. If I were going to do a trench treatment myself I'd use this
