Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!

USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.

This means:

🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”

One charger to rule them all.

Rest in Peace, Jimmy Carter. A great friend to the world!

Here he is in his late 90's building a home in Edmonton with Habitat for Humanity.

Jimmy Carter was proof that decency and goodness can exist in public service.

Jimmy Carter even heroically saved Canada from a nuclear meltdown when he was a naval officer over 70 years ago!

The world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown occurred in the Ottawa Valley and he was in charge of the team containing the disaster.

Peace be with you and Rosalynn.

Near the end of its investigation of the Murray Buttes area, the Curiosity rover took this farewell selfie at the "Quela" drilling location in September 2016 (Sol 1463).

I signed up for a black-market time-travel tour as soon as I heard about them. (The first rule of Time Club etc.)

There’s an hour long pre-mission briefing on how you must be extremely careful in what you say or do as the smallest event could have future-changing consequences.

After that, they give you back your money, admit that there is no time machine, and tell you “now go and do the smallest thing you can to make the future better”.

I’m not even mad.
