  • Needs to be run in a battery sysfs dir, eg. /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 on my system. Displays the battery's current charge and the rate per-second at which energy is {dis,}charging. All values are displayed as percentages of "full" charge. The first column is the current charge. The second is the rate of change averaged over the entire lifetime of the command (or since the AC cable was {un,}plugged), and the third column is the rate of change averaged over the last minute (controlled by the C=60 variable passed to awk). The sample output captures a scenario where I ran 'yes' in another terminal to max out a CPU. My battery was at 76% charge and you can see the energy drain starts to rise above 0.01% per-second as the cpu starts working and the fan kicks in etc. While idle it was more like 0.005% per-second. I tried to use this to estimate the remaining battery life/time until fully charged, but found it to be pretty useless... As my battery gets more charged it starts to charge slower, which meant the estimate was always wrong. Not sure if that's common for batteries or not. Show Sample Output

Best kayak chiang
Just how to best outfit your fishing kayak can rely upon they type of fishing you're performing and the conditions you'll encounter.

Seats: Different than the usual exercise and your fishing equipment I'd claim that a high quality seat are at the the top of priority list.

Some may be removed when maybe not in use, which really is a great function if you are fly fishing. 3.

Point Programs: These let you not just to stay in one spot where you would like to fish, but and also to fish a big area in an organized way. If you are sight fishing, blind throwing, or trolling you will need to cover the location as thoroughly that you can, and the correct anchor system will enable you to do so. You need to begin with an point basket as the base for the point system: a constant line working via a pulley on your own bow to a pulley on your stern with a snap land on each conclusion, and mounted on a band in the middle. You are able to fix your anchor line to or through the band, allowing you to modify your anchor point from any stage along the entire length of the kayak.

To print the exports, you can use: `awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'` You must adapt the command line to include: * $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one * TTL for the credentials
