    Silly question about series batteries

    The usual Ni-Mh setups are rare to explode, in normal circumstances, with a well set fuse. There are other types of batteries which might. No. Based on the presented hybrid solution something like 2.4V is needed, but with three battery worth of capacity or with higher current capability than a...

    COVID Is it usual for vaccine injection site to hurt again during infection?

    First time I ever heard such a thing, and a fast search could not turn up anything either. I would consider to report the case, regardless the (lucky lack of) severity of the infection itself.

    Great. Just spent half an hour with troubleshooting (no light) an automatic lamp (the kind with a light sensor). :doh:

    Silly question about series batteries

    The maximal current will depend on the lone series battery, which will get the worst load/usage and will die first. I would prefer having three in series, with a charger/DC-DC converter circuit to have the right voltage. That would give you the highest current and longest battery life.

    The Bottom of Internet: when in a tooth-and-nail dietary debate it's about the harms of that minuscule amount of additives in the salt on the fast food (!) fried potato o_O

    I know it's not that way. I really know it's not that way. But still... it's a really weird feeling to see the '100% recycled' on toilette papers... :doh:

    The Jet Pak is Real

    I think it's not that bad. Definitely not battle-ready, but - well, military is not just about battle. BTW with some additional light ballistic / tactical shield it'd be quite a spectacle...

    What would you memorize if you could?

    ? If memorization has no point, then flexing your muscles is just the same :doh: There are plenty of texts ('classics') of logical and language patterns, reasoning, polished language and so on (like throwing in some bombastic citations in a conversation). Many schools has some relevant lists...

    Maybe it's painted on the road and photographed around noon when the real shadow is just short? Ps.: on second thought, it's likely real. The earliest I could trace it back is 2015, and from somebody who is supposedly working in Altamira, Caracas, Venezuela.

    Fiddling with new equipment: macro extender + 2X teleconverter + 70-300 => pretty much useless. Moving target: The only cooperative 'bug' in the garden: Flowers are more or less fine ... ... but could have been done with far less effort. It was fun anyway

    I believe it's copper what makes that kind of color.

    Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses after Ship Strike

    Given the number of ships actually it may be more expensive, but with somebody else paying the bill, and that matters :wink: o0)

    Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses after Ship Strike

    I think as safety, for cases like this we are talking about a pile of gravel dumped around the pillars. Or something like that. And only for cases where big ships are expected. I can imagine they'll just leave the most alone. Not like a new layer of containment for an NPP or anything. Just a...
