Buying shit tier stuff is gonna give your a shit tier experience. Have more discretion in your shopping, which could mean holding out for quite awhile, and you'll eventually find a USB-C option.
"In fact! [Opens wallet] Hey Mac, now that you've announced your IPA I think I'd like to get in on the action and invest a little, what do ya' say? How many shares you got and what's your ask?"
"That's where you're wrong, Deandra. Corporations are people, an' they got a right to own property, votes, and elected officials as much as anybody else! So I say if Mac wants to dedicate himself to generating profit for his shareholders then that's his right and I'm not gonna stand by while you try 'an take it from 'em!"
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.
Arco is gonna be the name of my bike, if I ever finish building it, and I was thinking about setting it up with a Pi and some voice assistant integration (don't ask me how. One thing at a time).
Pilot has some weird disassociative /existential fuckery involved in it.
