  • French Press. It was my grandmother’s, kept it after she died.

    The brand, Melior, was bought by Bodum in 1991, and all French Press production went under the Bodum brand (the old Melior model became what is now known as the “Chambord” line), so it is at least 35 years old, possibly older.

    I contacted Bodum to know if they could give me an approximate age, but they couldn’t (or didn’t want to bother searching). All I know it is a version with Pyrex glass, which may help a knowledgeable person to more precisely date it, but I kinda put my curiosity on pause for the time being.

    Other than that, some of my grandfather’s vinyls are quite old too (at least one of them is from the 80’s), and I got some 20+ yo cassettes, some old mixtapes (back when mixtapes where actual tapes 😆).

    I have an old Caban which is probably at least 40 years old (was my grandfather’s, once again).

    Oh, and some kitchen tools made in West Germany 😆.



  • Of so, I’d advice you to try to work on how you express yourself.

    Expressed like you did, you sound more like you flatly reject any criticism instead of admiting both are valid notation.

    That’s kinda how you earned that flair from me. I’m not gonna blame you, I have been like that for a long time, and realized how damaging to my relationships it was. Not everyone is ready at all time to change their mind, even when I know I’m right with number to back my argument.
    Gently reminding them they may be wrong instead of antagonizing them often have way better result.
    Got friends out of toxic relationships that way. I don’t like to intervene in other people love life, but when ypu see friends suffer, you sometimes have to act.

















  • This seems quite big for a 30W 😅.

    If that’s really an usb A port on the side, my own 25W is basically the size of one of your panels. But mine is 5V only. In theory, it is 2 15W ports (5V3A), but in reality it is more 10W (5V2A) each, when both are used, in ideal conditions.

    Got another one which delivers 60W (45W using the PD USBC port), with integrated stand.

    I also tested for Amazon Vime multiple solar pannel, but my biggest grief with all of them is that they lies about their IP rating. They simply gives the pannel own rating, wich doesn’t applies to the connection box. That’s not respecting the specs, which requires the whole item to be rated, not only part of it. If one follow that logic, my e-bike is IP68 too (if you take the chassis only and not the electronic bits).
