  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Bought a power bank

I just picked up this power bank off of Amazon, I was playing around with my mini laptop the other day and it turns out I found that the battery life was only 2 hours and 30 minutes from a full charge, terrible! This kills the portability of the laptop, it is small enough to fit in your pocket but the battery life means you have to keep it plugged-in all the time. The power bank should help extend the battery life by alot and it is portable. It is slick, has a nice heavy feel to it, probably weights about 3 pounds.

I was leaving for church the other day but I was running late and my cell was low, 25%, and I needed to use it for an Uber ride to church so I just put the power bank in my pocket along with a charging cable. By the time I reached my church the cell was down to about 12% but as I was sitting there I just plugged my cell into the bank and it charged to 60% within 20 minutes and I was good-to-go! The bank is very nice to have around!

Congrats, brother. Be sure not to store it in cold or hot environments

There are large capacity power banks that is only slightly bigger than a regular power bank of the same capacity but can also jumpstart a vehicle with dead or weak battery.

These can be very useful to have with you for those driving older cars or old batteries or for helping someone on the road with starting problems.
