Queen - Who wants to live forever

Our Samsung toploader has been going for over 10 years now.

Interesting reading(from p9) - ex employee took OceanGate to court for dismissing him after he highlighted safety issues. https://media.wbur.org/wp/2023/06/answer-to-complaint.pdf

Food for thought : I watched a YouTube video where the guest speaker basically stated that we ( human beings) are just another step in the evolutionary chain. Nothing more , nothing less. AI the next step - scary but possible imo.

Stock seems to be an issue atm. This trustworthy PC shop ( Rockinit ) is selling 200Ah - R12249 ( in stock) - Vision 12V LifePo4 Lithium 200Ah ( SP12-200 ) - Rockin IT Geewiz - 200Ah - R12000 ( in stock) - REVOV 200Ah 12.8V 12V LifePO4 Lithium-ion Battery - 2nd Life Cells / 2.56kWh...

I am NO expert but learned a few things due to Eskom. I started with Lead Acid , then Gel , now Lithium. Lithium by far the best option imo. Lead Acid and Gel Batteries last a few months with Stage 6 loadshedding. Charging is also rather slow. Lithium has 3000/5000 cycles compared to the few...

This is what I would go for in the R5000/R6000 price range. Not as compact/nice looking but much more battery power( normally up-gradable to Lithium ) Not perfect but WAY better than the Ellies imo. Obviously there are other options but finding stock is a problem atm - Geewiz 1200VA Inverter +...

I'm in NO way an expert but learned a few things through the load-shedding years. According to the specs (as per this site - Ellies Cube Mega Portable Power Station - 300W ) the battery is 6Ah only. This is rather small and considering the price of these units - rather overpriced. No Buy...

I enjoyed : - The Boys - The Peripheral - Jack Ryan - Bosch - The expanse

TROLL - on Netflix 6/10 - if you like movies such as King Kong

My son is very happy with his Sennheiser HD 450 headset. Now on special at Takealot for R1999 - https://www.takealot.com/sennheiser-hd-450bt-wireless-over-ear-headphone-black/PLID69202341 They claim "over the ear " but then you must have rather small ears.

Good deal imo - https://www.takealot.com/sennheiser-hd-450bt-wireless-over-ear-headphone-black/PLID69202341

I also agree - carport best option. A few other options ( but I will not go for something like this ) https://www.takealot.com/portable-car-umbrella/PLID91052083?gclid=Cj0KCQiAnNacBhDvARIsABnDa68mF32vZSazzKRd0ujZSaj4bpQ5SG7WrDXmKRUR4a4DTPpsu1plP64aAp48EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds or...
