@Wormwood I’ve never seen the show but a Google search says it’s from “Trailer Park Boys”. It’s probably the glasses making his eyes look weird. Here’s another pic:
@phr I still have Micro USB cords, but that doesn’t mean I like seeing devices that use them. Could be worse. Imagine if there were still Mini USB devices knocking about.
@AaronLeeJohnson@phr Just bought an awesome TINY Holmes branded all metal desk fan that has a mini USB port on it! Works fine and is a bit more robust than micro USB. Ancient connector nowadays, but works just fine for this.
@AaronLeeJohnson@blaineg@phr Probably because of its durability and simplicity (likely Garmin devices by and large simply don’t need the advanced features USB-C offers, like faster charge and data transfer speeds).
@PhysAssist
For all the variety of weird things that that giphy brought up [including a lot of “Stranger Things” clips, and THIS was what it stuck on???
Whatevs…

@blaineg
I was just looking for something flashy, and got fed up with all of the non-flashy “Stranger Things” GIFs, but to answer your query:
I think that the reason that those monsters didn’t do much was because the ‘heroes’ down the rift into The Upside Down.
BTW, those were the Mind Flayers, and they did take over the minds of more than a couple of characters before they were shut out of our dimension.
I got my set…not great, but not terrible. Nice to have around for the occasional power outage or what not. Certainly could be better, but something to look forward to in a future IRK.

@IndifferentDude What show is that from? The eyes don’t look real…

Zoom in on photo and see micro usb port… nuh huh.

@phr That is a first world problem if I’ve ever heard one!

VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@AaronLeeJohnson @phr I’ve still got a couple of Sansa clips, to be honest.
@AaronLeeJohnson @mossygreen @phr
Same- and I like the older one better than the newer one.
@AaronLeeJohnson @phr
Garmin is still using mini USB.
@AaronLeeJohnson @phr Hey! Don’t talk about my TI-84 like that
@AaronLeeJohnson @blaineg @phr Probably because of its durability and simplicity (likely Garmin devices by and large simply don’t need the advanced features USB-C offers, like faster charge and data transfer speeds).
@phr
@AaronLeeJohnson @mossygreen @phr Those things outlasted everything else!
Wouldn’t it be interesting if this included some estimate of how much light it provided, or how long a charge lasts?
@sfwineguy
i think that would be covered by a simple:
YMMV [or ‘it depends’].
Was that a Thriller reference?
What? No BT speaker? Pass.
@tweezak No knife either.
@blaineg @tweezak Can’t be used as a power bank to charge my phone? Meh.
The hole in the plastic for the micro USB port looks like it was carved out by a malnourished Uighur child with a dull pocketknife.
A rock climber? Come on…you couldn’t have three or four over New Jersey?
Do better, meh.
I have to pass. There are just so many better fantern options out there.
@Xtoff It is almost criminal that it’s not actually called that.
@PooltoyWolf @Xtoff Am using this term henceforth.
@Xtoff Show me!
I do like my trash to be multifunctional
If it’s anything like the one from Five Below then it’s garbage
Unfortunately, MEH knows my obsession with lithium-powered flashy things [e.g., lanterns] - in for a couple.

@PhysAssist They are scary, but did the big monsters ever actually DO something?

This is a $5 or $10 lark, not $24. Pass.
This is where the robot uprising begins
@pakopako maybe already happening
/showme heavily armed killer robot fan lantern
@mediocrebot damn, that’s pretty good.

I ordered 2 black, one red, one blue… I got three black and one blue.
