Fun* fact in this video: the 'disposable' vapes thrown away in Britain alone contain enough lithium batteries to make 1.2 Million e-bikes.
I've been independently powering things with vape batteries that I've rescued before seeing this video. Pull out the cell, add a cheap usb charging module and you have a fully rechargeable 3.7v power source. If you need higher voltage you can put them in series and you can even get multi-cell balancing modules for next to nothing if you want to have a few in parallel for more current.
I don't trust them for anything critical, but they're great for low-budget projects as the cells are completely free. My bike lights are all powered by them (one can run a flashing bike light for a couple of weeks' use), as well as various other things that had their batteries die, or that didn't come with rechargeable batteries.
I also only charge them somewhere flameproof, though I haven't had any issues so far.

To anyone playing #Satisfactory right now:
PLEASE use the official wiki: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/
Ignore the Fandom wiki, it's bad. It's nr in 1 search results, but it's bad and the wiki.gg is so much better
(Wiki.gg is also what the devs recommend btw)

Please don't ask children to 'get into pairs (or groups)', without grouping them yourself or setting ground rules to include everyone.
This is traumatising each time, to the rejected or invisible children who get left out.
It's so weird how brains work. I've had such a hard time getting my head around knots but since coming back home from camping and using the animated knots website for the steps (thanks @philpem!) they've actually been sticking???
Like I can do an Alpine Butterfly Loop and a Bowline from memory, and I'm pretty close to being able to do a Midshipman's Hitch as well. After that it's onto the Prusik Knot and I'll have learned most knots that I'll need for bushcraft/camping.
@philpem Glad you got your refund! Mine's still under review but hopefully it'll be done soon. :)
haha wow brain please can you let me type out something properly and then give me time to read back before making me hit toot
of course there's also a remake of the 2nd opening
This remake of the opening titles to the anime series Nichijou, but it's the movie Commando, is masterful

@avon_deer Honestly yep. Bring the buses back into public ownership.

@LightTheUnicorn I did, thank you! Next time I should be driving so only have to worry about traffic in that case ^^
@tryst Please do not!!! You didn't drag me out; I wanted to come and had a really good time! Really needed it. ^^
Every single train that I have taken today, to get home from a weekend of camping, has been delayed.
It should have been a two and a half hour journey with two changes. It's now a five hour journey with two changes. 🙃

Lionizing Terry Pratchett's work as universally progressive and incisive denies the early stuff where he happily used racist tropes for a cheap laugh, and the *climb* he made from there to where he ended up.
This is important because it's not just any given book saying "We can do better"; it's the author, doing better, as you go.

Pivot to AI did a better job than me of noticing the wild claims and manicured results from the #GameNGen research. https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/09/07/googles-gamengen-ai-doom-video-game-generator-dissecting-a-rigged-demo/
