I’m 24 hours into being stuck in the floods in Chiang Mai. No water or electricity, which would mean no internet right now. However, I realised the gym in this building has a cross trainer that is powered by use, and it has USB! So, 700 kcals later I’ve added 25% to my phone!

I have to say this is some brilliant, incredible machine type stuff. 😂 · 1 month ago
@danrl Haha yeah it was very cool to realise we could make that work. It’s funny because almost my first point was the same as yours – that it’s like a natural screen time limiter. Thank god for Gemini, it’s definitely no Instagram when it comes to mindlessly burning power. · 1 month ago
@drh3xx Thanks! Some locals are in really bad situations and most people have been evacuated now to higher ground. We’re doing ok though. We had 10 hours to prepare, so we’re still good with food, and now (with being able to make electricity) we can even whine about it online :) · 1 month ago
Next time use a parabolic mirror and a thermal engine, like a little steam based one. · 1 month ago
damn! @martin you are a sharp thinker as always. every byte is ever more valuable now. you earned your screen time today i guess:) · 1 month ago
-3 luck, +1 str, +2 int for the next 5 rounds :) Seriously though hope the flooding subsides soon and things can start getting resolved. I know you posted previously that flooding was expected so hope most people managed to remain safe. · 1 month ago
