    Enough phone and laptop chargers to not have to constantly go to another room to grab one.

    Yes! I had enough of this so I bought like 6 USB-C cables at once, best buy ever

      What’s the current recommendation for those? Is it still Anker?

      Also be sure to get a medium length one. It’s so much nicer having a 6’ cable, or 10’ if you want to get crazy with it. It makes traveling and transit much nicer (ex. University students working on campus), and it might be nice for home so you can roll all over your bed while on your phone

        I’ve heard good things about Nomad Goods. I have some of their other accessories for iPhone and watch, and it’s the best quality stuff I’ve ever found. I can’t personally recommend the USB-C cables or wall adapters, but I plan to get some soon. I have a leather case, MagSafe mount stand, and a few watch bands. All are incredible, but pricey.

        I do have some Anker cables and they’re perfectly fine. Much better than others I’ve tried, including Apple shit. Anker also makes some nice outlet extension/USB adapter combos that are super convenient.

        If you want a fancy coiled cable, try Ventec edit: Ventev. It’s amazing for the car - keeps it off the floor.

        CableMatters is my go-to when I need something I can’t find above, like a USB extension cable or high-speed HDMI. They don’t feel as premium and are a bit stiff, but they’re reliable, and they just seem to make every option you can think of.

        Everything but Anker. They constantly make false marketing, that’s why they lost Sponsor Deals.

          Oh my time will definitely come. My back is already fucked at 23 so I’m like halfway there.

              I started working on my generic grunt in my 30s and use it for all kinds of things: getting out of chairs, into chairs, picking something up off the floor, the first stair up or down, lifting anything with both hands, etc.

              As time goes on I’m developing specialized grunts like a go slightly deeper on the first step down a flight of stairs than up.

              It’s been quite a journey.
