one of my favorite things on social media is when people nerd the heck out about hobbies I don't know anything about.
I have a friend on instagram who's super into Breyer horses and like, I know fuck-all about either real horses or plastic ones but she does these explainers about the hobby that are always a delight to read
Post about your hobbies. It's okay to take up space. Delight somebody with details.
@Annalee I charge all my portable electronics (phone, laptops, power tools, vacuum, anything with a battery) using solar juice. Lately I've been using a Jackery as a big solar bucket to collect the juice, then I use 12v car adapters off that to charge devices or smaller battery packs.
I have a 90w Dell car adapter and a 90w DC barrel jack adapter as well, but I needed a USB-C adapter.
Bought a crappy one on Amazon, branded "Scruak" of all madness. It overheated instantly.
Attached: 1 image Designing & printing a new chassis/heat sink for a junky 12v/100w USB-C PD adapter. Not bad for a single print of each part - one print from screen to reality, no mis-measures. Except one affecting the baseplate. Most astonishingly, the USB ports fit perfectly, zero wiggle room, perfect tolerance. Getting kinda good at this TinkerCAD stuff.
