Mainly because it feels better.
It drys incredibly fast as well.

Do we have an alternative for Wool & Prince jeans? Couldn’t find on US site. I’m in EU.

Hi Tynan,

Enjoying your posts for years – not as minimalist, but close.

You tried nose hair scissors as nail clippers. They double up really well, and never had problem getting through security

What were the shortcomings of using the ZFold as a laptop replacement? I imagine Normal Stuff (banking, email, etc.) would be just fine and it was Development Stuff that was lacking? Were you using Dex and trying to develop on the phone itself? Or?

I think the appeal of this idea would be a) availability anywhere b) battery life (I can never get more than 4-5 hours out of a laptop once I load it up with dev tools and services) c) price to power ($$$ goes further in a desktop system)

No, phones are good enough now.

I still think the Xiomi Mi 65w chargers have this beat. I have both models — one with and without the USB-A QC port. They’re smaller, lighter and cheaper — especially if you buy on on AliExpress. But I Amazon is carrying them now as well.

I recently picked up the 711 – it’s a single port USB-C 30W charger. The prongs don’t fold down but it’s so small I don’t mind.

I think you’d like the 735 – 65 W with 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A: https://us.anker.com/collections/chargers/products/a2667

Dimensions: 1.5 in × 1.2 in × 2.6 in

Hey. No worries.

Yes. 240v is okay for *mostly* everything I travel with. I haven’t tried the immersion heater at 240v. But the most important item I need is my Xiomi USB-C-PD charger, that puts out the needed 20V for my older laptop…

This does take the higher voltage. Since everything else I have can charge off this, I’m good with just an plug adapter, not a voltage converter. Thanks.
