....to a small power station sent to me by a friend. It's very cool. 250 w. It came already powered up and still has 20 percent left.

But with the outages last week, I really needed to fully charge it.

And grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the cord that came with it had no way to plug in to an outlet.

A cigarette lighter thingy on one end. A non-outlet type plug on the other.

Then I finally realized that it is a SOLAR generator, and a separate power cord or solar pad must be purchased.

Geez Louise. They could have said so in the amazon listing.

I was at a hotel for work, needed to take my contacts out, and realized I'd forgotten to pack my glasses. Well, in a hotel, the tv is several miles away from the bed, and I wanted to watch a film with subtitles. So I just put my phone in photo mode, zoomed in, and watched it through my phone. Worked a mint.

My bugaboo is several HP new all-in-one printers that shortly after purchase failed to print on command.

Well, the latest one did, but before I could start on the second ink cartridge, the internal power module failed and it is dead in the water.

Those are not MY fault. HP printers are just piles of sh*t.
