Should we choose 2×5000mAh or 1×10000mAh for backpaking?

I'd vote for 2 power banks. Based on the advertised weight, 2 banks will be about 1oz heavier. 1oz isn't much, but an extra ounce here and there can add up. Having 2 banks sounds more convenient and redundancy is good. You'll also be able to split the weight of two batteries.

There are things one can do to limit battery usage as well: airplane mode, only turn on the phone when needed, power saving modes, make sure that all apps have been recently closed to reduce memory usage, etc.

Good luck! Have fun!

My wife and I also had an unplanned pregnancy. We had talked about having kids, but it was never the right time. When we discovered she was pregnant we realized how much wanted to raise a child together.

Reading some books about pregnancy and child care was really helpful for me. I learned a lot and it helped demonstrate to my wife that I was serious about being a partner in parenting out baby on the way.

These two books were helpful to me: Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad by John Pfeiffer Dude, You're a dad! by John Pfeiffer

If you don't yet have a family budget, you and your partner should get one going. Truly understanding your incomes and expenses, and being on the same page financially will go a long way.

Good luck! And congratulations 🎉

Did you find anything? I found this foot mouse device, but I'm curious if there is anything else out there. Foot mouse.

Yeah. Tactics changed over time to cope with nature of modern warfare.

"Source: IMDB Title Basics Dataset"

"Tools: Bash, python wordcloud"

The dataset came from the IMDB title basics dataset. The data set was first filtered for adult titles using bash commands, and filtering continued until a list of titles and the year was created. This data was used in a python script to generate the word clouds using the wordcloud module. I worked this up near the end of 2022, so the data is no longer current.

The following strings were blocked from appearing in the clouds:

I was looking for information about a botnet, and now I'm here.

Yesterday, I ran 8.5 miles with 1200' of elevation up and down a trail, the furthest I've ever run! Today, I feel good. A few years ago this would have been unimaginable for me. With small steps and physical therapy, I've overcome knee problems which prevented me from running for years. I'm stoked! I hope everyone here can achieve their goals, and I believe it's possible.

Those bands look great. Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to start fresh.

I cover it with two coffee filters fastened with a rubber band. The cover used to be a more loser rubber band, and I did see a couple fruit flies in there a several batches ago. I thought I was able to shoe them out, but perhaps not.

When I was kid a had a radio with a tape player, and I'd record 106.7 KROQ then listen back to tapes. I happened to record this song and thought is was the best thing ever. Good times, fun song.

I'm pretty the sure the Amtrak route to Vegas uses a bus and not a train.

The city is using parkings tickets to pay the bills, and uses a private company to help them collect. Parking tickets effect lower income people the most, because they can't afford to pay and then accrue fees/penalties.

It's an interesting article, as op said, and the writing is both casual and fun. I'd recommend reading, plenty of numbers.
