And just like that, dear readers, we’ve fallen upon another Thirsty Thursday. This being a health-conscious blog, we highly recommend water, tea, coffee, and proper electrolytes for your thirst needs. It pains me to say that more and more research shows that alcohol is a poison to the human body ~ until we evolve, or until we can get ingestible nano bots that process alcohol and spare the liver of the suffering 😉

After that totally unnecessary intro (it’s a good thing web hosting companies don’t charge by the word), we charge up to the Meh daily deal, they be offering the Aduro PowerUp OmniHub Universal Charging Station for $20 plus shipping. No, this is not an Omniscient hub, but it has three AC outlets, two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. Not bad for a single device. A few of these and you can charge all your devices at the same time 😉

THEN we scoot on over to the B&H Photo daily deals good until 6/29/23 at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out, with a fresh six-pack of offerings:

+ 160GB Delkin BLACK CFexpress Type A Memory Card for $250

+ PortaBRACE RB-1B Small Lightweight Run Bag (Black) for $140
+ fun alt-fact: they call these “run bags” because that’s what thieves use to fill them up with stolen goods and make a RUN for it 😉

+ 15-foot TetherTools USB cables, three options, $10 to $15
+ pay attention to the connectors, these are niche combinations!

+ IDX ZENITH ZEN-C150G Three-Stud Lithium-Ion Battery (145Wh) for $279 with FREE IDX UC-PD1 Pocket Travel Fast Charger & Power Supply
+ no, you won’t find three “romance novel” studs inside 😉

MEANwhile the Adorama daily deal are the new condition Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II Limited Edition earphones going for $250…
