I’m only half kidding. I’m a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn’t much but it’s a start.

      Nice! I’m gonna have to go back and watch that… either I’ve never seen that version or I’d completely forgotten about that detail.

      And I even watched the TV show ;-)

        It’s probably the worst of the Highlanders. There was an updated version called The Renegade Cut that might be better.

          I had no clue they had made so many. Thanks for the bonus tip… was it just bad-bad or cheesy bad? Because I feel like a large part of the appeal for me is the vague cheesiness of the whole series.

          Edit: Got a Standard directors cut, and the renegade version… But in the process, I rediscovered that I recently downloaded Hot to Trot because it was on somebody’s list of worst movies ever. So I’m gonna have to watch that first 😝

            Highlander 2 just makes no sense in general. They bring in some crazy shit about the immortals being aliens from the planet “Zeist” and ridiculous stuff like MacCloud riding a flying hoverboard happens.

            It’s still worth watching at least once though

      At least that was just a shield you could disable by throwing an immortal alien through.
