In response to this postLUCI light. Solar charged inflatable lantern, great for camping/So Cal Edison shutting off your power/apocalypse. #DisasterPreparedness #light
@ai6yr Those things came became popular in 2015. I first noticed them at mile 50 of a race at 1am in the middle of Wyoming when I was already loopy. People had hung them on their cars near the aid station and it looked like a whole forest of jellyfish greeting me in the night. What a weird experience.

Small Jackery portable power station. Good for charging up phones and other small USB stuff. Also can do limited A/C (light, laptop). Almost free through SCE rebates if you live in high fire risk areas. Part of their plan to keep regulators off their back for shutting off people's power for days on end, LOL. #DisasterPreparedness #power #PSPS #Jackery

@ai6yr I have multiple Luci lights - both for camping & for power outages from our wind/ice storms here. They are great!

In response to this post@ai6yr My great grandmother had one just like it. My mother has it now. Not as fancy though.

In response to this post@ai6yr I remember the first Pete's Coffee selling those back in the late 70's. I'm just going to sit here and pretent that's not where those people's grandparents got them.

@samhainnight This one is an antique, for sure, based on the markings.

In response to this post@ai6yr A common slang term for a winch on a sailboat is a “coffee grinder” due to the similar operation (crank on top). I like to joke that my boat's old school enough that the only coffee grinder is the one that actually grinds coffee!
@saltbaygull Ha!

@ai6yr it's still an important job, mind you. But normally instead of a dedicated crew member, it's usually done by the “snacktician”. They work alongside the tactician to (among other things) make sure the crudites don't get upset by maneuvering.

In response to this post@ai6yr
this is awesome!
i'm a tea drinker, so i have metal filters. nothing to roast tea leaves in tho haha
.. i have a french press i bust out once in awhile.
and re: blackouts... i have long had a manual can opener. i think i got it when i moved into my 3rd partment somewhere around 1997.. lmao. still works great and it's one of those that breaks the seal instead of cutting the metal, so no jagged edges
could prolly grind beans in a mortar and pestle in a pinch 😂
@rustoleumlove I use a French Press for this too, forgot to take a photo of that! (but nowadays, for health reasons, ALSO run it through a drip filter)
