    My 16" MBP only has USB-C ports (can charge on any of them) and that's it.  Good thing is they are 40 Gbit/sec, bad is there are no USB/HDMI, etc.

    So I bought this and leave it on my 4k monitor/keyboard/mouse:



    he wants dual monitors that one doesn't do that
    Here are some with dual/triple HDMI.  I have a friend that does pro video editing and he loves these.  Mine works great.  They're in extruded aluminum cases and relatively cheap.

    this one will work, but I can't tell if is supplied wall power or just draws from the laptop

    The cool thing with these is you can plug your power brick into them and just plug that one usbc into your computer if it is powered via usbc.  Otherwise it would depend on the usbc ports on the computer.  It's powered via computer or usbc external to the computer on mine.  but diff systems are different.

    i did see a pic showing it draw power from a power strip via usb-c. So it does look like it works. Just make sure you have high amp usb-c cable and a high amp charger.

    I have 3 USB-C power bricks - 96, 86 and 86 watt.  That's a great spec on USB-C, high power delivery.  Also can plug my phone into any of those ports and it does a fast charge.

    Small hot sauce company in Denver.  I ordered a bunch of sauces and received them in 2 days.  Very creative sauces and they’re offering 40% off.

    My order arrived yesterday. Good stuff! Thanks for posting that.
    I really love their Electric Lime salsa. I'll probably order a couple more of the gallon jugs of that stuff while it is still 40% off.

    Did not know that you can buy an egg online, direct from the MS.  Free shipping to boot!

    I just placed an order with the Ceramic Grill Store for a Cuna Cart for a large green egg. When it arrives and is assembled I'll go negotiate with ACE for the large egg. 
    I will probably pass the gasket less Medium with an underbite onto my nephew. Due to an unfaithful wife, caught red handed, he needs the distraction. She will very shortly be: homeless, uninsured, and unemployed as she worked for her mother in law, was on my nephew's insurance, and they were staying rent free in a family trailer that they didn't own.

    I wonder if sellers are reluctant to sell and ship right now. I ordered motorcycle gaskets on Ebay last week and I had the seller cancel the order the next day without any explanation. That was the first time I've had an oder get cancelled on Ebay.

    Check your delivery date. Mine aren’t coming til the 22nd and I ordered more than a week ago. Apparently they aren’t essential. Clearly they haven’t ever tasted them. Good luck. I ordered another two jars from kegworks.

    The Ceramic Grill Store emailed me the assembly instructions for my Cuna Cart that is somewhere in the alphabet shipping train. A necessary tool seems to be a rubber mallet. No trips to Lowe’s possible for the next two weeks.

    Thanks but it hasn’t even arrived yet. I ordered the cart before the new large Egg purchase. Now the State is on lock down so the issue isn’t pressing.

    Seems to me you have ample time to assemble said cart. Do a Lowe’s pickup. They’re still operating in Louisiana

    Ordered up a new HERMS setup (10" diameter coil made from 50' of 1/2" SS tubing) including the fittings needed (ball valves, compression fittings, etc.) Friday evening. Today I ordered up a new stainless pump head to replace the plastic head for my second March pump. Added the adapter for the inlet (it's 3/4" NPT). Hope to get it all before EOD Thursday so that I can get it all setup to brew either the coming weekend or the one after that. I'll need to drill holes in the keggle that's going to be the HLT for the HERMS along with the outlet ball valve. I'll need to either use one of the dip tubes I made a while ago, or make a new one for the HLT. I have the tubing along with the tool to bend it so no biggie there.

    Also going to fabricate a sight glass/tube for the HLT from a couple of 90 degree fittings I have, a length of borosilicate tube (14" length) and a stainless steel shield that I'll machine slot(s) into (probably two long ones with a gap in the middle). I already have a sight tube like this on the boil keggle so it won't be the first one I've made. I'll need to graduate the sight tube once it's all assembled so that I can easily tell if I have the correct amount of water there. Since it will have the HERMS coil in there, it will require that once everything is installed.
