@tweezak [comment needed first, followed by lower case showme … I think]

/showme A doctor using two Aukey MixFlex Sling 30W PD 10,000mAh Power Banks to resuscitate a patient.

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “A doctor using two Aukey MixFlex Sling 30W PD 10,000mAh Power Banks to resuscitate a patient.”

@mediocrebot Sadly, the patient’s USB-C ports were not rated for sufficient voltage.

@cfg83 @tweezak
You know what? It DOESN’T need to be preceded by a comment. See the link:

So I don’t know what makes it work or not work.

@Kyeh @tweezak /showme Cat winning race at start of comment race.
/showme Turtle losing race at end of comment race.

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Turtle losing race at end of comment race.”

@cfg83 @tweezak I think the showme does have to be on its own line.
See, she dropped it down from the usernames.

(Not sure why I’m trying to help with this because I don’t approve of all this constant AI use …)

@cfg83 @Kyeh @tweezak
Nice try btt… but you shouldn’t shock a patient with a normal rhythm!

@cfg83 @chienfou @Kyeh @tweezak That’s why you should never use AI for medical advice n
/showme why you should never use A.I. for medical advice

@sflesch Here’s the image you requested for “why you should never use A.I. for medical advice”

@mediocrebot @sflesch
Absolutely! One of my ER docs used to have a mug that said:

@chienfou @mediocrebot @sflesch
Remember, before activating the powerbanks on someones nipples, always yell CLEAR!

@tweezak

Hmm…no dice eh?

For a moment I was about to write … I DON’T UNDERSTAND … and then I did.

I have learned that you have to have some text above the showme, and I think the showme needs to be all lower case, and of course, you need pay the mehn the monthly free postage fee to qualify for that sweet AI crude …

/showme Mediocrebot smiling maniacally at child that looks like Tiny Tim. The child is asking for a few more AI credits.

@heartny Yes, the woman is of a smaller stature.

/showme Aukey MixFlex Sling 30W PD 10,000mAh Power Bank that precisely measures 4.27" × 2.57" × 1.12" Inches. The Aukey Power Bank is compared to Metric Banana.

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Aukey MixFlex Sling 30W PD 10,000mAh Power Bank that precisely measures 4.27 × 2.57 × 1.12 Inches…”

@heartny Yeah, they’re really big for the battery capacity that you get. These are about the same size as competitors’ 20,000 mAh power banks.

Competing 10,000 mAh power banks are typically about 40-50% thinner. Though none of those have built in wall socket prongs if you care about that.

@TehMaliron Yep, it does. I use mine that way all the time.

@phendrick @TehMaliron Information is POWER!!! Wait, that’s a pun (or maybe not). Well done.

@mehla
But out of stock. Guess they all ended up here!

@agnesnutter
Yep… Dave responded here (But you already knew that… )
Glad to know they were listening…

@chienfou Well, my question was about the final picture, not the clicky face, which Dave didn’t say anything about

@ellett Why wouldn’t you still be able to use your own cable once the built in fails?

@ellett there’s that pesky USB port that you could use with your own cable.

@ellett @TimW @chaosdreamer
I’ve had several of this style power bank and have yet to have a single cable fail on any of them. I believe if you use a modicum of common sense and care you’re more likely to drop it and break it than have the cable fail.
But… YMMV.

@phendrick
Inflation sux!

@chienfou @phendrick are these coming through the Strait of Hormuz?

@chienfou @pmarin Not likely (in either interpretation).

@robmehrob yeah…there’s no USB-A port.

@robmehrob @TimW Maybe the real USB-A port was the friends we made along the way?

@robmehrob @themeatbridge @TimW
I was hoping for an RS-232. We had good times back then.

@pmarin @robmehrob @themeatbridge a parallel port would be the entire width of this thing! I coded an rs232 interface back in the day for medical equipment…fun times…actually…I did not enjoy it.

@robmehrob @themeatbridge @TimW I remember writing driver code for a parallel port printer (DECWriter) for a CP/M system; those were the days. Fun part was getting the handshake working when the printer would say “I’m full, no more data please” and then would say “OK go ahead with more.” But it was for my own use, so no pressure from an employer. So I did enjoy it. Got to learn a lot along the way. Used the knowledge later in my career, which I mostly enjoyed too.

@pmarin @robmehrob @themeatbridge @TimW Do actual people still program interfaces or is that all AI now?

@phendrick @robmehrob @themeatbridge @TimW
Yes but in the new AI world can’t be sure what “actual people” really means.

@phendrick @robmehrob @themeatbridge @TimW
Honestly not sure if anybody really works here anymore, or if it’s all just @mediocrebot gone rogue. Problem is they’re all just locked in the break room with bad coffee and somebody’s stale food left in the refrigerator.

@mediocrebot @pmarin @robmehrob @themeatbridge @TimW That sounds more real than virtual.

@meherson
I feel your pain. I lost my absolutely favorite power bank at the airport in San Francisco when my 13y/o granddaughter’s flight was delayed a few hours and I was her adult company person. She was using it to charge your phone and got it left behind. I didn’t notice I was missing it until it was too late.

@chienfou @meherson why was she charging my phone? But yes I think airports collect a bunch of chargers and cords everyday. Not sure what they do with them. Also remember seeing a virtual mountain of things collected by TSA like little pocket knives, nail scissors. One time they got a corkscrew from me, and on that trip I’d been through security 3 times already with no problems. They first wanted to take a mini Leatherman tool from me but I was sentimental about that one. So I said F-it, took my little tool (no comments please) and started doing the 700-mile drive to San Jose rather than flying.

Added: but you can’t drive to Taiwan so that’s the time they got the corkscrew. Mini plastic one except for the screwy metal part, which I guess is essential.

@chienfou @meherson @pmarin If corkscrews, etc., are so deadly, as determined by TSA, maybe that should be the std issue to ICE. (And save TSA the cost and bother of disposal.)

@ApatheticAddict But by your username, does any of it really matter anyway?

@PooltoyWolf
See… They did listen!

@PooltoyWolf
Dave responded here

@mocanlagunas That sounds like a pretty high bar, judging by occasional news reports of purges of top leaders there.

@UpsidedownPeas That’s probably because of an Apple patent for the upcoming iSelfGen.
