If it needs USB-PD, looks like the products are pretty pricey.
If it can take the old fashioned USB power, looks like a splitter is reasonably available for like $15.

Does it qualify as a wankpanzer?
Most of the canals are not used for commercial traffic now. Even most of the rail freight is gone, it's mostly passenger trains only.
The video I linked is a 5000km trip.

The "dictator" that broke Obama-set US policy on Ukraine and actually was the first to ship them weapons and actual military support, not just first aid kits and blankets?
Biden? He supplied Ukriane with PATRIOT missile defense systems, HIMARS, and long-range missiles.
He was hardly a dictator. He had not even expanded the SCOTUS to rubber-stamp his opinions, or argued that his word is the law.
Ah, when I say "trucks", I mean heavy goods vehicles with trailers. I'm not sure exactly what we would call an F-150. Maybe a light truck, but I tend to think of something smaller for those, like a Japanese Kei truck.
Anyway, big rigs like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It's not just Ukraine that has been harmed by the betrayal after they gave up their nuclear weapons. Think about other countries that have or want nuclear weapons, e.g. Israel and Iran. They aren't going to agree to non-proliferation when it's pretty obvious now that any security guarantees aren't worth the paper they are written on.
There's a risk that we reduce the diversity of human beings to the point where it starts to become harmful. Genetic diversity from an evolutionary standpoint is important for resilience as a species, but also socially it's not clear what that could do to us.
We have EV trucks in Europe. Big batteries, decent range, fast charging.
That was the issue with the butterfly keyboard - fragile, added weight and thickness to accommodate the mechanism, and was rapidly overtaken by improving technology. Thinkpad keyboards were also really good in general anyway, so being smaller wasn't quite as bad as with lesser designs that make typing extremely difficult.
The advantages were just too small, and the rest of the machine was compromised to get the size down. It was arguably a bit before its time in that respect.
It's a fake sale. Stuff isn't really discounted, it's usually cheaper at other times of the year.
Amazon is just a showroom for AliExpress now anyway. Unless it's something quite expensive or heavy, it's usually best to cut out the middle man and just order it from China.
Is that a real profit or just Hollywood accounting?
I'd rate Thunderbolts a solid B. It wasn't exceptional, the stakes were nothing new or particularly interesting. I think it also suffered from Bucky and John Walker being under-developed, especially Walker. A potentially interesting character, but the product of a pretty poor TV show.
Mostly though the issue is that they just aren't a very compelling bunch. If you contrast it with Superman, Gunn took that character and really explored how a man with god-like powers and that somewhat simplistic morality he is known for would work in the modern world. The Thunderbolts... Like most Marvel stuff since Endgame, it's just setting up the next thing.
This is the future. Highly interconnected grids that can move energy from where it is available to where it is needed.
Having lived there, there was plenty of sun, as well as rain showers and occasional very heavy rain. Combined with wind and connections to mainland Europe, it's a robust system.
C++ is the best example of second-system effect since OS/360.
