Which ice cube trays are least annoying?

The battles we have with my ice cube tray is maybe stuff of legend. I want the ice it doesn’t want to give me the ice, so you will find me banging it on the kitchen counter which results in a mess which I have to clean, so it is quite annoying.

So it got me thinking, it is the 21st century, surely there must be a better way right? I know we have ice making machines but I am quite frugal and there is no way I can justify that purchase to myself so the next best thing is to find the least annoying icecube tray out there.

I have been to multiple sites all over the internet, I even checked out Alibaba but they all look the same to me, but I am determined that when I want to have a drink it's not after battling my ice cube tray for ice.

What is the least annoying ice cube tray you have found out there?

Good protein shaker bottles that don’t smell

Every morning I have to spend an unhealthy amount of time cleaning out the smell in my protein bottle and I am fed up. I have bought like 3 types but I am yet to find one that doesn't smell.

I know I should clean them immediately after use but I barely have time to go to the gym because of how hectic my mornings are so there are days I forget, or events just pass me by and the bottle sits all day just to be hit by the smell the next time I have to use it.

I was told that the steel bottles don't smell, they are an improvement from the plastic ones but they still retain some smell, so I have been looking all over the internet, Alibaba, Amazon to see whether we have any that completely eliminate the smell but I am yet to find one.

If you have come across some good ones please recommend.

Why are most portable power stations ridiculously overpriced

As a student doing a CS degree, (I know, I know AI will take my job but I am in it I may as well finish it) I always find it infuriating when I want to work in a place other than my room, I have to find one where there is a power outlet.

I know when most people think of programmers they think of people who rarely leave the house, but I am build a little different in that I do like the occasional work in the park, just to soak up a bit of vitamin D. Now issue is there are no power outlets in parks so you can work there for a little while before maybe finding a restaurant or going back to the house.

In order to solve this minor inconvenience I was looking over some portable power stations and let me tell you, the situation in those sites, as in amazon alibaba and the rest has me thinking that working in the house all the time is not that bad after all. First of all the price swings are ridiculous and I think I can get a car in Facebook marketplace with those prices.

For people who own one, will it really serve my purpose and what kind of rating should I look for?
