Those cheapo Powerbanks I ordered came.

Now I have in total 45'000 mah of portable battery life.

Switch 2 battery is 5220 mah and gives 2 to 6.5 hrs.

So I have 8.6x as much extra battery over Switch 2.

So I've got between 17 to 56 hours of extra battery life using Nintendo suspicious figures.

And that figure doesn't include the actual battery already in switch 2.

The problem? The 20'000 mah battery can't positively charge switch 2 whilst playing it. Need to test the two 10'000 mah ones.

Otherwise I'll have to use one battery to feed the one that does actually positively charge it.

Well I had a fun morning. a skunk somehow got into my fenced in backyard and sprayed my dog in the face lightly. I washed her face best I could with de shunk shampoo, which worked quite well and I got her into her groomer for a more thorough de shunk bath. Dogs! Argh!

My dog is finally stinky free. My house, on the other hand, still has a mild smell even after cleaning, deodorizing and opening the windows. Sad

Note to self: ALWAYS check the yard before letting the dog outside in the morning.

Speaking of battery life, I found out yesterday that my Pixel 6a phone may have a defective battery. It's been working just fine, but Google is sending out a mandatory system update tomorrow. If mine has a defective battery, my phone's battery life will be signifcantly reduced until I can get the battery replaced for free.

I may ditch the phone and go back to Motorola; I never had any issues with their phones.

Played this P switch mission in Mario Kart World.

You had to dodge whales in the ocean. Could have been epic.

When the last whale crashed down it impacted the ocean surface, sending out huge waves with physics.

Felt like Wave Race.

I feel like we need a new wave race based on MKW ocean bits.

I just learned my new battery has trickle charging.

I googled it but I'm still confused. Why would you trickle charge headphones and smartwatch s as the manual says?

Lots of people leave their phones on a charger all night. Most phones fully charge in a couple hours; leaving it on the charger for hours after reaching 100% will reduce the battery life. Trickle charging allows you to keep it on a charger all night without it fully charging. Instead it slowly charges it over the course of 8 hours.
