Right. 18650! Thanks!

And TIL what the numbers mean. Cool!

…

My flashlights use replaceable chargeables. I want to say “16550” but I’m not sure of the numbers. They’re larger than AAs, longer than Cs but not quite as thick.

China. Wuhan, specifically.

This is my favourite place within walking distance of home. Whenever I’m in there it’s great food and great companionship.

Some of them add a touch of baking soda (no, really!) to make it a little less harsh. But even there, the generics caught onto that trick decades ago.

I use rechargeable flashlights. Hell, I use rechargeable everything. I’m not sure when I last bought AA or AAA batteries for anything.

Ice cream trucks aren’t a thing here, but the local street washers play Jingle Bells.

I know, right? It’s like irony is a lost art.

There’s also a reason why votes in parliaments aren’t secret.

It’s the lazy drive-by and rage votes specifically that I would love to see eliminated. If you’re too much a coward to defend a position, maybe you shouldn’t express it.

To me the anonymity of voting is the problem, so the solution is to make them public for all, not to find ways of making them more private.

Literally 15 seconds to find.

I’m pretty sure the other states have similar incentives.

Fifteen. Seconds.

The Model 3 is an overpriced, shoddily-assembled car. The only reason it’s the “affordable” one is because of the huge amount of tax incentives E-vehicles get. If you had to pay the actual cost of a Model 3 you would not be calling it a “fantastic car”.

I know it’s hard for the Tesla cultists to accept, rather like the Apple cultists before them, but Tesla products are not good products for the price.
