Portable EV Chargers: Charge Your Electric Vehicle Anywhere, Anytime

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits, lower running costs, and technological advancements. However, one of the main concerns of owning an EV is finding a charging station when you’re on the road. This is where portable EV chargers come in. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of portable EV chargers and how they work. EXPLORE…

On October 4, at about 2:20pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), FEMA is doing an emergency alert test. This means that all phones, regardless of if they have been placed in do not disturb will go off with that beeping noise. If you have a secret backup phone that you need the people you're with to not know you have, set a reminder to turn it all the way off.

For apple phones, this means holding the power button for five seconds and swiping the "power off" switch that shows up on the screen. Same with androids and early google pixels, except you'll be tapping a button. For google pixels 6 and later, you'll hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time. To turn on for all phones, you'll hit the power button and wait a sec.

Remember that the alert will still come through when you turn your phone back on, so make sure that you are in a place where that noise is safe.

Note that, for whatever reason, if they can't put out the alert, the backup test date is October 11th.

The link below is to the official press release with the information.

so you're telling me grix used hold person on ruben and dominate monster on riz. ok... ok... totally calm right now

[cxlandine]

arthur created grix to be a perfectly lawful, responsible principal should aguefort be under investigation. arthur had a legal failsafe in case the feds came around. and he fucking shoots kids with nets and awakens sex robots to attack them-

I found a possible explanation for why Bhaal crafted a titan from his own flesh to serve as a vessel when plan A failed and he couldn't make more demigods - and why plan A required half-divine children: if you go by the novels, living beings cannot house his divine essence as, predictably, hosting Death gradually kills them and causes them to rapidly deteriorate (forcing him to keep jumping to new hosts). Unlike mortals, the quasi-deities he creates should be able to host it safely.

It may also explain why Durge has free will - Bhaal cannot care for a host body for shit (as seen with both his mortal avatars and feral-Durge); he either cannot grasp the needs and limitations of a mortal body any more, or doesn't care, or both. So he crafts a fragment of himself into the Dark Urge and gives it some independence so he doesn't have to care for it; It's like Ao giving the gods free will so that they can do the jobs he made them for (being unable to do every job in the universe nor pilot that many minds by himself)

“GOTTEM!” 🤣 Fabian FLEXING to killing the principal at a school assembly is fucking WILD

FHJY New Names over-analysis post

We're a few days past an episode that introduced a lot of new npcs and ideas and all, and I figured I'd dig into some of the names and references and all that I noticed to see if any hints might have been snuck in there for the rest of the season.

Interim Emergency Backup Principal Arcturus Grix: A couple of different things in here, but I'll just get what I think is the most likely one out of the way: Arcturus is a star that is part of the constellation Bootes (a herdsman in various myths), and the name translates to 'guardian of the bear'.

Or, perhaps, guardian of the owlbears.

Brennan absolutely seems like someone who would have at some point been way into constellations and their stories so I'd put money on this being an intentional stealth-ish pun.

I think Grix is just supposed to sound machine-y but I might be missing it.

Terpsichore Skullcleaver: Back on the Greek mythology theme, Terpsichore is one of the Greek Muses, and specifically is the Muse of Dance. Obviously a wildly appropriate name for a dance teacher who is hopefully going to actually inspire Fabian.

Skullcleaver presumably means she is of some relation to Katja, of course.

Lucillia Lullaby: I mean, this one is pretty obvious; a Lullaby is a type of song, and from what she saw she seems to be a pretty calming presence to suit attempting to get a toddler to sleep as that song type does. This name was actually, unlike the two above, on the payroll list from freshman year so it's a lot more directly on the nose (because, frankly, Brennan was coming up with like 30 npcs who would probably never appear).

Tiberia Runestaff: Runestaff similarly is just kind of obvious and also was on the freshman year list; Tiberia as a name literally just means born near the river Tiber, and so I think was chosen mostly because it sounds kind of severe and wizard-y.

Yolanda Badgood: Also from the freshman year list, and I suppose it would take someone both bad and good to teach students of both 'good' and 'evil' divinities. Brennan's gotten better at his NPC names over the years, or just it's hard to do a freaking list. I sympathize, as someone who keeps a random name generator tab open while GMing. Also, on a random note, the freshman year list has a driver's ed teacher (one Alphonse Doublefist) and I NEED a scene of Fig having to take driver's ed because she's been driving without a license for two years.

Mazey Phaedra: Mazey is such a groanworthy name for a minotaur-adjacent person that I'm surprised they didn't throw things at him for it; Phaedra is another Greek myth name, this one of the daughter of Minos (of building-the-maze fame) and also a whole other thing we don't have time to get into because it might start Discourse and that probably isn't relevant because it's really just another Minotaur reference.

CUS Dabus: One of the universities Riz looks at, I mostly want to call it out because of being a reference to my personal favorite official DnD setting. It's mentioned as being in the City of Doors, which is the nickname of course of the extra-planar city of Sigil. The Dabus are a race that are the entourage of the mysterious Lady of Pain, the very-definitely-not-a-god who loosely rules over that city. I doubt we ever really visit Sigil, but who knows, we've been to the Nine Hells and the cosmological stuff seems to largely conform to traditional DnD.

I’m absolutely team Henry-built/hacked-Grix. He’s Ruben of the Rat Grinder’s brother, is an artificer, and was seemingly very nice to Gorgug while also giving him 300 times the work of a normal multiclasser and proposing it as a solution.

That paired with the fact that Grix said “rules enforced to the utmost ability of this STUDENT govt” last episode + Kipperlily’s run for student president, there’s def something going on

Keep your emergency store of T in unopened vials.

If your dose of T does not use the full vial, do not keep the rest of the unopened vial as your emergency supply. Once opened the vial is no longer sterile and cannot safely be kept long term for later use. Use up the vial entirely before opening and using the next one.

Your emergency and backup supply should be kept in unopened vials.

You should check the expiration dates on your vials every time you get new ones and cycle your emergency/back up vials so that you're using the ones that will expire first and saving ones that will expire last.

If you've worked food service it's just FIFO-ing. First in, first out. If you already know this, that is good, keep doing it. And make sure the people around you do too. I see a lot of people saying they keep their opened partially used vials as back up in case they can't refill or run out, and I want to stress that is not a safe way to do that. (Think of it like having an open can. The food inside will stay good as long as you haven't opened it, but once you have, you only have so long before it goes bad- so you either use it up or discard the rest.)

This goes for gel and any kind of medication, but injections run a much higher risk of infection if you're using old opened containers. This should also be followed for the multi-use vials as the same risk for bacterial growth and infection exists once it has been opened.

The single use vials are meant for a single use, but it's very common for them to be used more than once for testosterone. (Such as dr prescribing it intentionally or the pharmacy only giving you the exact number of ml in your total monthly prescription which would necessitate drawing multiple doses from the single use vial.) I've generally seen one month as a suggestion for what is considered safe in terms of keeping an opened single use vial. Of course, always check the vial for visual signs of anything inside and don't use it if in doubt. (The T forming crystals in the cold that dissolve when warmed is not a concern, just make sure they all dissolve before use as it will affect the dosing.)

Do not store your backup supply of T as opened vials. You should have one opened vial that you draw from and be rotating your supply so the ones with the soonest expiration date get used first.

If you have the glass ampules those are actually single use only. It is not safe to store those once opened.

And of course in an ideal world you would have access to a single use vial that you only have to use once with no worry about being able to refill the prescription, but if you can't, at least know how to reuse vials and store them safely.

Only have one open vial at a time, use all the doses you plan to use from it, then discard it and open the next one.

very funny to me that this is the second time a principal of the aguefort adventuring academy has died because of the bad kids

[delinquentbookworm]

i love how much disdain the Bad Kids already have for kipperlily copperkettle, because she hasn't even done anything yet. she's just some random kid they bumped into for like ten minutes and she's managed to inspire this pure venomous frothing-at-the-mouth level of hatred, based entirely on vibes.

//Why did autocorrect change concern to otherwise? 🧍‍♂️

[lavenderjewels]

Since Gojo made sure Geto’s body wasn’t cremated as usual for sorcerers/curse users by Shoko, it really adds some mystery to what actually happened to let Kenjaku get the body. The vague situation of Kenjaku swooping in to steal it almost makes the situation creepier and adds a lot more unseen flavor to Gojo’s character by implying that he was suddenly compassionate and emotional when he had to actually deal with Geto’s corpse.

Logically, the body had to be kept in the morgue, somewhere by Gojo, left in the alley, or given to Geto’s cult family, but there’s no way of telling with a single line of dialogue. I’m leaning towards the latter, since it Geto’s family met Kenjaku soon after and it’s hard to imagine anyone else would not notice a stolen body for over a year.

had to make eleven phone calls today. none of them resulted in anything actionable. also at some point today i lost my little phone wallet with my two most important cards

[tetranymous]

Why are the only 2 options for new phones nowadays:

World's most expensive slab of glass that costs more than a new laptop. Has one single port and the screen is the size of your head. The next model will have a screen on the side to remove all of the buttons and will reduce the thickness of the glass, both for the sake of sleekness and fashion (and money). The glass will crack upon a slight gust of wind but the adhesive holding the phone together is the famed immovable object of legend. The model after that will be as if the monolith from 2001 a space odyssey had screens on every surface, the charging port is obsolete since it can all be done through induction (the hot new trend). It's the camera for the photographer who is deathly afraid of buttons and dials present on real cameras. Don't worry guys we're removing features for your own good. If you try to repair it yourself you will be killed through our patented DontTry™ technology installed in every device.

The same price as a decent SD card and the absolute lowest quality slop they could push out of the factory. The phone equivalent of a pug, struggles to run its own OS (go edition of course). When idling with nothing but the home screen running the cpu is rivalling the heat output of a miserable old macbook forced to run the sims. Its hardware specs are somehow worse than a flagship released NINE (9) years ago. The screen genuinely hurts to look at if not using a jig to perfectly align it with your head (portrait only, no landscape video unless you want to turn it into the migrane machine). Has both a headphone jack and sometimes a user replaceable battery. Micro B charging port means that no one will Disappear your charging cables. Sometimes come in fun form factors. Cannot scan a QR code no matter how much you try. Absolutely zero technical information available online. Would probably run okay if it wasn't forced to have android 10+ installed. Immune to damage from getting dropped (back flies off, battery falls out).
