    I love this lifestyle and grateful I can still do it. Go to Vegas or Laughlin any time, grab a room and chill.

    Now you need to be a paying customer.

    What does your power block look like, curious what model you have. Eco labs?

    No, they don't give a shit at this one. I'm in a nice area, so they're very lax about everything.

    If they did give a shit, it would be about the kids (tons of teens frequent this place). Nobody is going to care about the 53 year old white guy sitting on his laptop.

    I have two from Anker.

    One is this, the Anker Powerhouse II 400



    I bought it in 2021. I forget why. It sat barely used until the recent power failures, at which point I was so glad I had it.


    I just got this one yesterday. Anker Solix F1200. I didn't get the solar panel but maybe I will. The problem is that my main need for it is in the winter and late fall, which is when the sun is lowest in the sky (and the days are short!)





    The second one is way bigger than the first -- both in capacity and physical size. The second one is 42 pounds.

    First one's capacity is 387 watt hours. Second one is 1229 watt hours -- about 3.17x.

    The second one has a hypercharge feature which is great for power failures, meaning I only have to kill an hour in Starbucks to get it up to 80%.

    The second one also can run just about any device -- including high wattage ones like space heaters or coffee makers. Not that I'd run a space heater on it, because that would drain it in less than an hour. But it can. The first one can only go up to 400w.

    Can't you basically stay free like 200 nights a year in various properties? Are they still having school if it's not in your area? I see so many events cancelled and moved I just assumed school was in Covid mode or whatever. Are all the hotels booked in LA because of the displaced? I have been surprised you didn't just say fuck the groceries and throw them away and grab a room for this.

    No I only get free nights in Vegas, and even that is getting tough these days.

    Yes, a lot of LA hotels are booked up due to all this.

    The schools are not closed.

    Upon word of a peace agreement - a right wing Israeli sympathizer enters LA Starbucks with a 42 lb backpack.

    Everyone debates when was the best time to grow up in America and perhaps where.

    BCR: I figured schools were remote. That sucks having to ride it out. Your kid is probably losing his mind without electronics.

    Consider the events (Pandemic) that have shaped young B’s most impressionable years. Hes never known a time without Trump. Fires and all is his baseline.

    We’d have maybe a couple consecutive snow days when we’d have to go sledding at the golf course all day but that was about it.

    Pray for Druff’s son

    I had an image of Druff and Ben fighting over who was draining the power block quicker. And Druff slowly morphing into Jack from The Shining the longer this goes on.

    Sounds like the cause might have been another power line issue. They claim there is video.

    There appear to have been discussions about burying the transmission lines in recent past. I can’t imagine. It’s only money.

    Obviously, there have been shenanigans with matches too. I imagine every newsworthy Santa Ana will “spark” the pranksters heron after.

    While Druff is barely surviving, the Cali GOP decided to go visit Trump for the weekend at Maro Lago.
