I’m pissed he ruined the Charlie Chaplin mustache, because that’s the only place mine actually grows in. I’m forever doomed to shave my upper lip because of him.

Or for not keeping his word about not trying for a second term.

Still didn’t scroll down to chemistry, did you?

Dude, if a mob of people are attacking my car, I’m not just going to sit there twiddling my thumbs. You feel free to, though.

Metallic lithium != elemental lithium. If you scrolled down to the chemistry section, they list both the anode and cathode. Nothing in the list has elemental lithium.

I’m all for hating desantis, but context is important:

We also have a policy that if you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.

Your phone is an mp3 player. It just does other stuff too.

You’re wrong

Yes, quitting is the best way to fix it.

Even those aren’t elemental lithium. They use Lithium-iron disulfide, Lithium-thionyl chloride, Lithium-manganese dioxide, and Lithium-sulfur dioxide.

It took me a second to figure out that was a mistake for acorn.

Too bad intensive purposes is longer.

Man, I hope so. I’ve been job hunting after my position with a government contractor was eliminated in February, and despite a decade of experience, I can’t even get to the first round of interviews.

I think we’re going to see a big shift towards small to medium IT/dev companies, and a ton of freelancers. I’m one of those, because I’m about to start doing IT work for businesses in my small town.

Wild hogs certainly are.

Well, it will put out the fire, but it does it by cooling the battery down so the reaction stops (like you said)

A lithium battery fire is a chemical fire, not an electrical one. There’s pretty much a zero percent chance of getting electrocuted putting one out with water.

You’re wrong.

Lithium batteries contain little to no elemental lithium. They normally contain lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, or lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide as the anode, and a lithium salt as the electrolyte.

Water is about the only way to put one out because it’s an exothermic reaction (water is to cool it down so it stops), and two out of the three are self-oxidizing so you can’t just smother it.

The biggest danger of a lithium battery getting wet is that it shorts, which can lead to a fire because it goes into thermal runaway. But this can happen if you have one in your pocket with spare change (most of the vape fires in the 2010s were this)

Does drip pay to have their app at the top of the list? Because that’s about how far most people look

That’s one thing that annoys me about lithium batteries. Every time there’s an EV fire, people pop out of the woodwork to shit on the FD for using water to put it out.

Just because the name has lithium in it doesn’t mean it’s elemental lithium.

Yes, they are.
