New CAPCHA just dropped.

Thank you.

Original article is overwhelmingly whimsical and lacks hyperlinks for far too much of the body.

Another factor that makes lithium-ion battery fires challenging to handle is oxygen generation. When the metal oxides in a battery’s cathode, or positively charged electrode, are heated, they decompose and release oxygen gas. Fires need oxygen to burn, so a battery that can create oxygen can sustain a fire.

Because of the electrolyte’s nature, a 20% increase in a lithium-ion battery’s temperature causes some unwanted chemical reactions to occur much faster, which releases excessive heat. This excess heat increases the battery temperature, which in turn speeds up the reactions. The increased battery temperature increases the reaction rate, creating a process called thermal runaway. When this happens, the temperature in a battery can rise from 212 F (100 C) to 1,800 F (1000 C) in a second.

Constructive or insightful comments, such as this, are the kind of content Lemmy should strive for.

Everything short of a cooperative is a compromise.

3.5B sounds like a lot, but Ford has around 175k US employees, if you divide that 3.5B over the ten years over the 175k employees, that’s only an extra $2000/employee/yr. $2000/yr is not going to help a factory worker’s future medical debt nor allow someone to afford a house or a family that couldn’t $2k ago.

Show me someone who wouldn’t take an additional 2K/year for the same work.

My mum

Well she’d know how my transition is going.

My employer

Doesn’t seem professional for my employer to be looking at such things. Shame on them.

My kids

I don’t have kids but if they were underage then that’s a mail-ordered crate of ACME-brand Yikes bad ideas.

(I want to be clear that, even if I am a Dingus, I’m only one who is shitposting.)

Sounds like we just need a Share Your Nudes Week to help destigmatize a very ordinary part of modern life.

I do not get how people get blackmailed with their own nudes.

Like, who gives a shit? I see myself naked all the time. And now you have as well, blackmailer, so if anything I should be getting money from you.

USB-A walked so USB-C could fly.

NSFL isn’t as common as NSFW but it’s still an established acronym.

It’s different than you might imagine. There’s a certain unmistakable mix of institutional power, mandate, callousness, and incompetence that makes state execution’s uniquely awful.

Part of it is because you still need a gig to keep the retirement funds rolling. You don’t want to live it out on pea soup and bread.

Part of it is because after a certain point every bit of your body, from your bones to your brains, is only available on a Use It or Lose It basis with no warranty for service blackouts.

And part of it is because, and l guess this is due to the collapse of the extended-family model, lots of people don’t have anyone or thing to go home to; they’re divorced or widowed, kids have moved out, and their social network has literally died out.

Towards the end of his life my father only had ONE surviving peer from grade school. Imagine how it is to call your only surviving friend on a regular basis and to wonder, each time, if today’s the day you learn you’ve already heard their voice for the last time.

Disagree-ish.

I would suggest that, instead, after a certain age or catastrophic loss (such as that of a lifetime partner) we should all be receiving regular competency / cognizants evaluations. I think that compulsive retirement would be dehumanizing, a potential trigger for senility, dementia, or suicide, and a negligent misappropriation of the experience and institutional knowledge, that many of our seniors hold.

Paint.net is nice because it has plugin support.

No, us generating content and community is how we get users. Reddit’s conduct only creates episodic influxes of users.

Isn’t this the stuff that the fascists tried to weaonize in WWII, but it was too dangerous to handle and it, like, burnt down a concrete bunker or something?
