My box fan.

I have had it almost ten years now and it hasn't given up on me so I don't plan on giving up on it. A guy needs a little breeze to sleep, you know?

I am sympathetic with Tim’s choice; but, I might as well go for broke … air conditioner.   I had considered an e-truck, but I don’t know of any with an air conditioner that I could easily cool a house with.

The challenge is that essentially everything is an electronic device now. Everything has printed circuits. My car, my phone, my flashlights, my power tools, my battery chargers, my Linux laptops that let me log into Permies. I can't choose -- I need all this stuff!

However: I don't have a pacemaker, but if I did that would be the one device I would prefer to keep.
