Figured out the magic of a power strip at a cafe in Austin last Tuesday

I was at this busy spot off South Congress, and my laptop was at 15% with no outlet nearby. Some guy saw me panicking and slid me his power strip under the table. I ended up finishing my whole afternoon shift off that one strip, and now I carry one in my bag everywhere. Has anyone else found a random cafe hack that totally saved your work day?

Oh man that's genius, I'm the guy who always forgets his charger and ends up begging strangers like a weirdo. One time I literally sat on the floor by a bathroom outlet just to get 10 more minutes of battery life lol. Now I keep a cheap backup battery pack in my glovebox and it's saved my butt more times than I can count.

Glovebox is a weird place for electronics in summer heat though.
