CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE (Part B) by @cheshirecatstrut​

[Excerpt from Ruby Jetson’s unpublished manuscript]

“Ugh, why do tunnels have to be all dark, and claustrophobic, and dirty?” Gia performed a full-body wriggle of revulsion, complete with flapping hands. “It’s like, can’t the miners be proud of their work when they’re digging? Maybe put up some stucco, or buy a few plants?”

“God, Gia, it’s a literal hole in the GROUND!” Alexis helped Tilly Craig down the last few flagstone steps, and seated her between Melanie and a hog-tied Duncan against the smooth stone wall. “It’s not like interior decorators are all, ‘PLEASE let me beautify your remote-island service passage! I’ll wind up in Architectural Digest!’”

“Oh, whatever, they could have at least plugged in air fresheners. It smells like the school locker room.” Gia grimaced, waving a hand in front of her nose. “Are the people who built this place barbarians?”

“It’s actually pretty nice, as tunnels go,” Veronica contributed, from the golf cart where she sat with Mac and Susan. “Reinforced ceilings, paved floor, electric lights? Plus gassed-up golf carts, and the door behind the bookshelves is solid steel. If the house above us does catch fire, this is probably the safest place to hide.”

“I think we’ve collected everyone,” Logan called, as he and Casey made it to the bottom of the stairs carrying Norris. They were followed by Wallace and Luke, hauling the groundskeeper, and Dick, supporting a recently-reawakened Viola. “Can someone come bolt the door behind us, so that douchebag can’t circle around?”

“I’ve got it.” Susan hurried up the steps, hugging the wall as they shouldered past with their not-inconsiderable burden. “Do you guys think that maniac’s killed Carrie already?”

“Carrie can take care of herself.” Logan lowered his end of Norris with a grunt. Their resident deputy moaned as he came into contact with the cold floor; no surprise, considering he’d been hit on the head twice in a few hours. “As you very well know--she’s made a habit of rescuing you.”

Susan blushed, glancing away from his disapproving gaze; Logan had been briefed, however, during the summer project, on Carrie’s life of heroism. She’d fought for justice since childhood, helping every victim she met, from Della Pugh to high-ranking political figures. The girl had no clue how to be anything but brave, and he found himself wishing….well.

He belonged to another, after the events of the weekend. But he should have made her take the keys when they narrowly escaped the cave, just in case.

Behind him, the door clanged shut, and the bolt snapped into place. The only remaining illumination came from lights periodically inset into the walls, casting everything outside their yellow beams in deep shadow. At his feet, Norris groaned and sat up, and Logan knelt to prop him against the wall before he fell over.

“Where am I?” Clayton asked, voice slurred. “Last I remember, I was standing in the living room with Carrie, and then I…” he lifted a hand to his forehead, realized there was a note wedged between his fingers, and held it out. “What’s this?”

“In the midst of life, we are in death,” Logan read, then snorted. “Well, that’s both stupid and vaguely threatening. What is this dude’s obsession with Agatha Christie, anyway?”

Electric Fires Buying Guide

Looking for electric fire insets but don’t know where to start? Don’t worry. At first, the numerous choices can be quite confusing, but you’ll soon have an easier time shopping after reading the guide below.

How to choose the best electric fire inset — a quick buying guide

Inset fires are made to sit inside a cavity rather than extend out into the hearth, taking up less space on your walls. They can come in both gas and electric variants; however, electric insets are the better choice if you want to be safer and more environmentally friendly. Here’s what you need to consider when buying an electric fire inset:

·         Type

First, consider the type of fuel you want to come with your inset. As mentioned before, electric fires are preferred due to their safety and efficiency.

On top of that, electric fireplaces are also much easier to install and maintain. All you need is the unit and a constant power supply, and you’re all set!

·         Size

Unlike building a brand-new fireplace, fire insets are pre-made to fit specific openings. Therefore, it’s best to measure your existing fireplace opening and make the necessary changes before buying a system.

·         Location

In relation to the past factors, make sure you carefully consider where you want to place the fireplace. You can never go wrong with making it the focal point of your living room, but you can also put it in the bedroom, office, or entertainment room.

·         Features

Finally, what additional features do you want to see from the fireplace? Luckily, electric fire insets are packed with many functions and settings to enhance their convenience.

For instance, the three-sided Elite 72 from Evolution Fires comes with three flame colour settings, temperature control options, and a touchscreen display!

Still have trouble finding a premium-quality electric fireplace? You can browse through Evolution Fires’ wide collection of insets, including the Elite range and the Media Wall packages!

Whether you love camping because you enjoy the wilderness or just want to escape the imminent collapse of society, you'll want some electrical power while you're gone. It needs to be light enough to carry around, able to power small appliances, and should include a solar charge controller in case you're going to be out there for a while. An emergency light would be the icing on the cake.

Maxoak has exactly what you're looking for, with its Bluetti AC50S.

We're no stranger to Maxoak backup batteries here at MakeUseOf, having previously reviewed the massive EB240 and AC100. But those are difficult to carry around unless you have transport and more suited to use in caravans and cabins. At 13.5lbs, the AC50S certainly isn't lightweight but could still be heaved up a hillside without requiring a trip to the hospital.

With a total capacity of 500Wh, an AC converter, and a built-in MPPT solar charger, it'll go all day and then some.

Join us as we take a closer look at the AC50S, and thanks to Maxoak, we have two of these incredibly powerful emergency batteries to give away to two lucky readers. You'll find the competition entry form at the end of this review. 

But first, let's look at some of the standout features of the AC50S that make it perfect for camping and emergencies.

10W Wireless Qi Charging Pad

Your smartphone is probably the most important item you have during an emergency, so it's critical that you can keep it powered up. If you've lost or damaged the charging cable, you're in trouble.

Not so with the Bluetti AC50S, which includes a 10W wireless Qi charging pad on the top. To use it, turn on the main power and the DC output, then put your smartphone or tablet down (though some devices charge better when placed off-center, depending on where their Qi receiver is embedded).

Any smartphone from the last three or four years should be Qi-enabled, so this could be a real lifesaver. While it usually won't charge as fast as a cables, it's certainly more convenient.

Emergency SOS Flashlight

Built-in to the rear side of the AC50S is a large LED lighting panel. It features two brightness settings and an SOS mode. The exact lumens brightness isn't published, but the highest setting is bright enough to be painful to look at directly. The handle is positioned in such a way that the light can face forward when carried normally, so you needn't take a separate flashlight on your travels.

The SOS mode is something we hope you'll never need, but it's reassuring to know it's there if you do. In this mode, which operates at full brightness, the morse code for SOS is continuously repeated.

For either mode of operation, the AC50S must be powered on first, then the flashlight activated.

Bluetti AC50S Design

Measuring 11.6 x 7.5 x 7.7 inches and weighing 13.5lbs, the Bluetti AC50S sits at the extreme of what could be considered easily portable. The carry handle easily unfolds from its inset position in the lid and feels quite comfortable to hold without digging into your fingers. I would happily take this on a short hike, but hours of trekking around with it would certainly get tiring.

The corners of the AC50S are softened with a thin blue rubber bumper, and along with four rubber feet, ensure it can take the hustle and bustle of an outdoor camping trip without damage. It also means if you knock the relatively large device into your legs or waist when carrying it, the blow might be softened a little.

  Don't mistake these rubber bumpers for proper ruggedization, though. As with all large battery packs, the AC50S should not be thrown into a fire, pierced, shot, dropped off a cliff edge, or fed to a bear. The multiple power sockets and cooling grills also mean it isn't waterproof in the slightest. However, it is apparently made from flame retardent plastics, so you needn't worry about placing it in the general vicinity of a campfire. Not too close, though.

A clear dual-color LCD shows the remaining battery as five segments (each helpfully labeled in 20 percent increments), as well as the total wattage currently coming in and going out, with AC and DC reported separately. Though you're unlikely to hit the maximum 300W if you're only charging laptops and smartphones, this information does allow you to make a quick calculation of how long the battery will last.

Sockets, Ports, and Plugs Galore

Considering the diminutive size of the Bluetti AC50S, there's a bewildering number of sockets to be found.

There are four USB-A ports, each running at a maximum of 3A. Sitting above them is a single USB-C PD port, running at a maximum of 45W. This is slightly lower than most laptops' power requirements when running full speed but should be enough for light tasks or charging with the lid closed (if you didn't bring your AC adaptor, that is).

You'll find two small barrel-jack DC ports on the right of the display, running at 12V, 3A maximum. Further right of this is the regulated 12V car accessory port (or cigarette lighter, as we call it in the UK).

As we reviewed the UK model, you'll also see two three-prong UK plug sockets, which run at ~240VAC. A European model and US model is also available, running at ~110VAC. The maximum continuous output in either model is 300W, 450W peak.

How Long Will It Take to Charge?

The included AC wall charger is 90W, so this will charge in approximately six to seven hours. Also included in the box is a charging cable for use with your car battery from the 12V port.

Solar input is limited to 120W, with an open-circuit voltage of up to 40V. Although an adaptor cable for industry-standard MC4 solar connectors is included, these limitations mean most static panels (such as those taken from a rooftop install) can't be used. Of course, the AC50S is designed to be portable, so this isn't a big deal. For static installations, you should look at the larger Maxoak backup batteries.

Thankfully, Maxoak also sells a portable solar panel perfectly matched to the input rating of the AC50S. We reviewed the SP120 a few months back. Under ideal conditions, the SP120 could charge the AC50S in as little as four to five hours, faster than the AC adaptor. Realistically, it would likely take six hours to a day, given varied cloud cover, the angle of the sun, and other factors.

You can charge and discharge the Bluetti AC50S simultaneously without issue.

Is 300W Continuous and 450W Peak Enough for You?

300W is plenty enough to power laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other USB devices—all at the same time. If that's your intended use case, you needn't worry about the peak rating.

But if you plan to use the AC sockets, you should take note of it. Most small appliances will comfortably run on less than 300W continuous. Still, some such as air conditioners or fridges will surge to five or seven times their rating momentarily when switched on. If they exceed 450W, the Bluetti AC50S will display error 27 and require a restart. Therefore, you must know the peak or surge rating for any appliances you hope to power with the AC50S.

In some cases, there may be a workaround, so you can still use the appliance. For instance, set your coolbox or mini-fridge at room temperature first when switching it on, then slowly decrease the temperature. If your appliance surges beyond 300W but less than 450W, this should be fine as long as it doesn't continue for more than 120 seconds.

How Long Will The AC50S Battery Power Last?

To work out how many hours the AC50S will last you, divide the capacity (500Wh) by the power you're expecting to draw. For example, a 50W CPAP machine could run for around 10 hours. If you're unsure, plug in the device: the helpful indicator on the front of the AC50S will tell you exactly how much power it's using, from which you can calculate. Bear in mind this value may fluctuate. For instance, when I tested a deep freezer, it varied anywhere from 5W to 110W.

For devices like a smartphone, it's more helpful to think about how many charges you'll get from the AC50S. An iPhone 12 could be charged anywhere from 20 to 40 times; a typical laptop will get at least seven charges.

Do You Actually Need "Regulated" 12V?

If you're shopping for backup batteries based purely on color, or if you don't care about the 12V car port output being regulated, then I've got good news: the previous AC50 model comes in orange or grey, and is available for as little as $350 (use the coupon code MAXOAK100 to get that extra $12 off). The only difference (other than color) is that the 12V output is not "regulated." That means you might not quite get 12V. You might get 11V or 11.5V. For some appliances, getting at least 12V minimum is critical, and without that, they won't power on. For others, it won't matter. And if you're not going to use the 12V at all, it obviously doesn't matter.

Portable, Powerful, Perfect for Camping

The Bluetti AC50S is easy to operate, packs a huge amount of power into a small package, and includes lifesaving features like an emergency light and wireless Qi charging–all at a budget-friendly price of under $500. There's a lot to like about the AC50S, and if we had a single complaint, it would be that the AC converter is slightly limited at 300W continuous, with 450W peak meaning some appliances won't work.

Still not convinced? We've secured some special coupons to help you decide:

Okay so you reblog these amazing houses all the time but i have to ask, what would your own dream house look like if money was limitless? Also where would it be located?

Oh man. You sure have asked a question to which I have way too well thought out an answer.

I like our city. We moved here because we wanted to be here and I honestly would not give it up. That said, we live in the more crowded part of it and I wouldn’t necessarily object to moving to another section so that we had more land. I grew up out west and so I’ve always really wanted an acre or two to kinda sprawl lazily out on. I’d want to have it planted with lots of local trees and shrubs and other such things that I can just kind of minimally manage and otherwise leave to flourish on their own.

I kinda miss stucco and clay, but Hubby really loves their New England brick, and I’ll be honest I’ve grown fond of it too since we moved into our current place. So odds are we’d either do something brick and clay, or something stone and stucco. It’d probably depend a lot on how flamboyantly we built the actual footprint of the house.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you may have seen the floor plans I draw up and post from time to time when I’ve been fantasizing. But even those I try to keep to a somewhat existent (if indulgent) budget. If money was no object at all?? Oh boy.

Well, to start, I’d want a fully stocked restaurant grade kitchen times two. I cook for armies and I actually would like to be able to keep Kosher at some point when I want to. So my dream kitchen would be huge. At least 20’x20’. It’d have three large pantries (5’x5’ min) and a cellar (8’x8’ min) attached to it. One pantry for each set of cookware (meat and dairy), and one pantry for seasonings and dry goods. The cellar would be for keeping vegetables cool and dry, as well as for the drinks cooler and the deep freezer because buying in bulk is both responsible and spoons efficient. Aesthetically, picture the worst, most offending McMansion style kitchen full of black stainless steel appliances (2 of each), a massive kitchen island with a huge double sink and garbage disposal and bar stools to boot, and a giant hanging rack in the middle of the room with all my most used pots and pans. The major difference between my dream kitchen and McMansion hell is that my cabinets would be this gorgeous dark red-black cherry color wood, and my counters would be gorgeous black (either slate or granite) speckled with red, gold, and white bits. I’d prefer a nice cream-to-tan range for the floor tiles, but I’ve become so fond of my little Spanish missionary tiles, that I’d probably try to do another lovely little mosaic all around my stove insets and my backsplash. Kitchens should be warm colors, huge, and HIGHLY functional.

I didn’t used to care about having a dining room, but I admit that it’s existence is growing on me. I’d still rather have a less ostentatious one tho. Just enough for a big dining table (has to seat at least 8, I like to entertain) and a hutch for dishware. It’d be awfully nice to have a little bar cupboard set up in there too, locked of course because there’ll be kids in the house. I’m still in love with our first dining room table and sad as heck that it had to be gotten rid of. Assume that whenever I’m talking about wooden furniture I’m thinking the same lovely dark red stain as those kitchen cabinets by the way. It’s a thing.

The dining room frankly shouldn’t be much more than an extension of the living room space which absolutely should also be huge. A giant, soft, squishy couch, one of those U-shaped fiascos with the chaise lounges at either end and lots of pillows. Woodsey colors. Deep browns and rich reds and greens. A giant hutch with the TV/computer/video game console/DVD/Cable set up all wired in, with room to put away all our movies and games. A giant TV. I’ve become so spoiled. We bought a 46” (I think? Something around that number) a while back and I just can’t fathom the idea of going back to anything smaller. Did you know they’ve got stuff even past 60” these days???? I can’t even imagine. I think maybe we’d stick with a nice, indulgent 55” most likely. Only TV in the house. I’m old-fashioned that way I guess. I really really hate hardwood floors, but carpet is allergen heavy and hard to clean, so I’ll probably lay that gorgeous fake-wood-looking stone tiles throughout the house. Everywhere but the kitchen and bathrooms I think. That way it looks all fancy and “traditional” but I don’t have to deal with caring for wood floors. Stone is so much simpler, lord.

There needs to be a big laundry room. Two washers and two dryers, a specially made doggie shower that won’t make my baby boy cry, and a small people shower for when folks come home muddy and filthy as they often do. Another big island in the middle of the room for folding clothes on and a big stone dirt sink that I can use for hand washing. Lots of lighting, and preferably on the first floor by the entryway. I hate this whole “laundry room in the basement” thing.

I want a guest bedroom downstairs with it’s own bathroom en suite. Something simple and functional, but pretty. I actually really like the layout for the bathrooms in our house now, a sink and toilet on one side of the room, and a bathtub/shower combo next to a roomy linen closet on the other. I think the main difference is I’d just like to scale them up slightly, make the shower/tub area roomier so it can be a proper tiled in set up rather than one of those plastic pre-fabs. And lots of counter space in all the bathrooms there’s just no such thing as too much counter space.

I’d want one more bathroom downstairs too. Just a half bath, something that can be easily accessed by anyone who’s over regardless of living arrangements.

Upstairs, I’d want four more bedrooms with bathroom en suites, all built around a lovely, open room that can be a playroom when kids are little, a study space when they’re in school, a sleepover kingdom when they have company. Just…..a space where the kids can really be out of their rooms and have creative license, you know?

And then. There’s my suite. This place is my master piece. It is……insane and impossible, but if I had all the money in the world I would do it because it would be like a dream. The Master suite has got to be huge. It’s a whole floor to itself. It’s got so many rooms. The entry to it at the stair’s landing is a little sitting room with some comfy lounge chairs, bookshelves, and okay fine the only other TV in the house. It’s a place where others may freely enter my domain without invading or violating my space. Beyond this point, no one is allowed without it either being their room too or without express permission from someone whose room it is. The parts to this suite are: the bedroom, the bathroom, the spa, the closet, and the entertaining space. The bedroom will be simple and pretty normal sized. 11’x11’. Maybe 15’x15’ at the absolutely maximum. A bed, the night stands, a comfy chair in the corner, some lamps. The bathroom will be like all the others in the house. Practical and functional but pretty. I like sea colors in bathrooms, so maybe some turquoise’s and crystal blues. Lots of counter space. A double sink. The closet will be gigantic for a closet. The size of it’s own bedroom. Maybe 10’x10’? It’ll have fully built in and beautiful wooden shelving systems throughout it. All our clothes will be sorted and everyone will have their own section to the room. But the spa. My god the spa is my sanctuary. It is the size of the kitchen. Huge. It’s got a personal steam room, ready to be filled with heat and scented oils and the feeling of my muscles not crunching. It’s also got a gigantic open shower, maybe 6’x6’, tiled in, rain shower heads and soft lights, and a bench I can sit on while I’m washing my hair. There’s a hot tub. Party sized obviously. Built into the floor of the spa with stone tiles and jets and those colored lights and this gorgeous stone and fire feature hanging down from the ceiling above it - low enough to be stunning but high enough not to risk anyone hurting themselves in it. The whole room would have built in surround sound speakers and colored dimmer lights and there would be potted plants and glass tile mosaics all around. I want it to look like one of those beautiful, ancient Spanish-Persian bath houses. Lots of soft greens and rich golds and brilliant purples. And then the entertaining space. Well. That’s something better left described on my other blog. But suffice to say that it should be very roomy and with lots of custom built-ins to facilitate the sort of entertaining that a passel of adults getting together in the late night while the kids are at the sitter’s house would get up to.

There’s gotta be a nice big garage to park everyone’s car in, especially during the winter. The driveway would be one of those neat half circle drives that people can park along, and it’d be made of that fancy solar panel stuff that they can make roads out of so that even in the dead of winter it never ices. Plus that in combination with solar roofing tiles will make sure the whole house (and the electric cars) are powered cleanly. There’ll be a generator and emergency power storage unit to round it all out, make sure we’re not dependent on the city power grid for any of our power needs. Central heating and air conditioning (fucking hell do you need both in this place), a whole house multi-step water filtration system (not a fan of the city water, it tastes like hard metals), giant cat playgrounds built into the walls of the house so the fur children can romp. A big, insulated and winterized doggie house and play run out in the yard for BabyBug and his friends to race in. A nice stone patio with a built in grill and fire feature and seating. Swings and a clubhouse out back for the kids. A nice big patch of clover and wild flower lawn that has those fancy sprinklers embedded all through it so we can turn them on in the summer and have a little water park afternoon in our own backyard. I think that’s pretty much everything I’d ever possibly want. The only other thing is kind of a toss-up whether we’d want it or not, and that’s a guest house. A little vacation-y type place, two small bedrooms, two small bathrooms, a little kitchen and living room. That way when anyone’s parents come down to visit they can be safely stashed away in their own little world and don’t have to be to be interacted with when folks aren’t ready to. It might just be better never to have the in-laws stay over tho.

Anyway. I evidently have extremely expensive taste, but not the kind of expensive taste that rich people find fashionable. It makes it challenging to find pictures that exactly represent what I would want. Which is why I reblog so very many fantastically lavish house pictures I suppose.

Maybe I’ll give another go at trying to put together my own photo sets tho. Or at least another round of floor plans. It’s been a while.

This was a great question Anon! I really enjoyed getting prattle on about this!
