General Discussion / Re: Machine Translation from Japanese to English
« on: February 21, 2021, 09:57:01 AM »
I don't want to work for my food in preparation time, etc. I'm willing to pay the extra price for convenience and simplicity. I was recently given 4 Nongshim Udon Noodle Soup from Costco. I found this to be simple and very, very tasty and filling. A side benefit are the nice plastic bowls you are left with for future projects.

For a couple of dollars each you can purchase USB-C to USB-A adapters. I have them in my bag of adapters but sadly never use them.

A few other options that I have and use to expand ports.

I just purchased this as a docking station for 3 devices which have Thunderbolt 3 ports.
