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.

A slim beater knife like the Buck 722 Spitfire (had mine for almost a decade).

multi-chambered pill fob; bulk caffeine pills.

A quality water bottle.

Bamboo sheets (soft, smooth, anti-static)

Basic: we want to ensure everyone drinks pumpkin spice White Claws, has a pH of at least 7.1, or is basically healthy. Their choice.

First you do Universal Pet Health, which you push by just talking about how good it would be for dogs and ranch families.

Then you talk about how silly it is that we have UPH, but not UBH, especially when UBH would help with our nation’s combat readiness.

“Marco, Arco…”

“Polo, Pilot.”

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.

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.

I think that being able to wipe the tracker with a factory reset is a pretty big drawback for software-side, but —and I don’t think this is possible— if you could load it into the micro-SD and make that run the tracker, I (for some reason) see that being more robust or redundant.

I forget the thing has a micro-SD most of the time.

Good to know about the power draw. I think Airtags use a button cell already, so in the end it’s just stripping down the Airtag, finding space, and then 6 screws for routine service.

USB-A walked so USB-C could fly.

Yeah, obviously that sort of stuff wins by merit of practicality. I’m just wondering if there’s anyone who wants to go crazy with the idea for the fun of it.

“I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs.”

“I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too… So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute - that’s pretty powerful.”

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

I’ll never be happy to see any piece of humanity’s history damaged or destroyed.

Not to worry, there’s still more than enough Great Wall of China to go around.

I feel like people could benefit from what I know about Butt Stuff™.

Yes, the very same Brock Allen Turner, convicted rapist of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, who only served three months.
