@ai6yr @michael_w_busch I've seen safety demos done at least where they attempted to introduce what'd be a common and catastrophic failure mode for ICR lithium, and nothing spectacular happens - thermal runaway and combustion can't be achieved.

@michael_w_busch @ai6yr yeah and it changes based on how fast you charge it thanks to Puekert's Equation, aka, MATHEMATICAL PROOF THAT THESE BATTERIES SUUUUUUCK. Oh um hi


@vxo @michael_w_busch Cheap, heavy, but at least they don't implode in grand scale like Lithium. I have considered switching to LiFePO4, but I have yet to find a definitive study that says they are safer than Lithium.

@lauren @stux yeah I can confirm, neither of my Fire TVs nor any of the various sticks do it. That's not to say it couldn't be something sinister that's being A/B tested though---


@vxo @lauren got it! nice, let's hope it stays that way

@ai6yr @silentLurker Banana trees are an interesting beast. I have just one word of advice: you need dedicated banana clothes for yardwork. The banana tree sap will PERMANENTLY stain any fabric it comes in contact with. Don't even bother trying to remove the stains, the most you can do is kinda turn them a sickly green.

That being said, have fun and please explore as many varieties as you can to help promote disease resistance and biodiversity.

@ai6yr Yeah... Now it will be left with dirty water sitting in the bottom until power returns, but that's not going to grow in volume and flood the kitchen. It'll just sit there.
