Power Strip with Four Alexa Controllable Outlets

WiFi Smart Power Strip, Conico Smart Surge Protector with 4 USB Charging Ports and 4 Smart AC Plugs for Multi Outlets Power Socket Extension Cord, Compatible with Alexa, Voice Controlled by Echo for $28.

I'm not sure where I would use this, but having four separate outlets (plus the USB ports), is cool.

I don't think plugging my dish washer, coffee machine, and TV in to it would match my use case.

Iron Gold: Book 4 of the Red Rising Saga

I thought Red Rising series was going to be a three book series, but Iron Gold: Book 4 of the Red Rising Saga is out as of today. As luck would have it, I'm between books, so I guess I'll pony up the $15 for this one.
