Which power packs are those?
I had wanted to get some to power my iPad/MacBook/other stuff in the back country when we're camping for night photography. I ended up getting a beast from Canadian Tire that can also boost a car battery. It's small though, which is a plus.

I got this so that is have big power bank to share between phones and other electronics like our Switch on vacations. Plus it has QuickCharge.

Our beast has quick charge as well which is great! There is no way that I will ever remember to plug it in a day before we go somewhere.
My new MacBook will eventually take over for my iPad in controlling my camera, once I figure out how to do it and my power beast should be able to keep it all going over night with extra power to let me play my DS as needed
Im really happy that my new set up will be lightweight and relatively wireless.

All mustards, or do you have a preference?
You think you're better than us regular folk?
So I've been called for jury selection tomorrow. First time for me on that. Would a polo shirt and dress pants be appropriate? I don't really have a 3-piece business suit to wear.

I've shown up in my hawaiian and sandals. I've seen others in T-Shirts. I don't know if it's different in Canada, but here, as long as you aren't wearing something with rude pictures/text on it, it seems to pass muster.
I think so, yes.
Business casual is generally the way to go - so a shirt, optional tie, and dress pants. Remember while they want you to look reasonably smart inside a courtroom they also want you to be comfortable - if you're sitting there uncomfy because you're not used to what you're wearing then you're not giving your full attention to the case. The letter you got calling you to jury duty should give advice on what to wear, or at least a phone number for the court you can call and say "Hey, this is what I am planning to wear for jury selection. Is it OK?" and they'll either tell you yes or give you advice on what you should be wearing instead.
Of course this is all assuming you *want* to be selected for jury duty. If that's not the case then turn up wearing a t-shirt with a political slogan on it & carrying a copy of The Communist Manifesto or Mein Kampf.
Oh, and I almost forgot - if you do get selected it's a good idea to have a light jacket you can take off/wear inside the courtroom depending on how hot/cold it is.

If jury duty in Canada is anything like the US, I'd say wear something comfortable because you're going to be sitting around doing nothing for several hours.
The odds of getting a juicy murder trial are far lower. When I sat jury, the defendant's charge was failing to apologize.
I showed up in uniform.
I was not selected.

Got a new laptop! And my favorite part is that it folds over and doubles as an art tablet. So, I'm branching out into the world of digital art, which is..difficult for me since I'm such a traditional artist, BUT, it's been so much fun. I'm really enjoying it.
