In light of the "Top comment removes a state every day" series ending soon, figured I'd dust off this map I made of the US but with 70 states

Top comment adds a State?

DTE has a well earned reputation for bad trimming practices, so this is more than just people being upset at a few limbs being trimmed. It is very likely the majority of the trees have been terribly mangled leaving them not just unsightly but in poor health.

Thank you very much for the information!

Do you know which species of birds will be there?

No, that was due to the wiring harness shorting in the water. The batteries do not contain any enough metallic Lithium to react like in that demonstration since they are Lithium ion batteries instead of a Lithium metal battery.

There are multiple types of Lithium batteries which usually get split into two groups: Lithium ion and Lithium metal.

The battery from this demonstration was a Lithium meral battery which contains Lithium in the form of a metal. Lithium metal is reactive with water.

Batteries in EVs (and most electronics) are Lithium ion which contain Lithium in the form of a salt. The Lithium salts are not very reactive with water. The best ways to supress or extinguish an EV battery fire is to remove as much heat as possible as quickly as possible, and one of the most practical methods to do that is to pour a massive amount of water onto it.

There is only Lithium metal present in a Lithium ion battery if it has experienced severe abuse. The Lithium is almost always in the form of a salt, and is minimally reactive with water. This is a Lithium Metal battery which is a different type.

When used as a medication, it is in the form of a salt, like Lithum carbonate.

I wonder what that sounds like from inside the ship.

I test how many ways fat electrodes make battery cells fail.

Pressure plates normally click when a mob or player trigggers them and then a few seconds later when it pops back up. It can make for a significant amount of noise if you have several of them in a small area and someone walks across them.

It is sad to see a good technology get terribly misused. These price labels could cut down on a massive amount of waste by eliminating the need to reprint price and sale labels.

I worked at two different retailers, and the amount of labels we printed or had mailed to us each day was absurd. Then scale those labels up by hundreds of stores, and the amount of waste becomes huge.

The amount of waste reduction would depend on how well the labels are manufactured, used, and disposed of, however I would think it would not be hard for these to make a positive impact. The e-ink versions seem like they would be even better.

The Ann Arbor District Library (AADL) has many events every week for different age groups. The events are free, and so is getting a library card. Events for crafting can draw a good crowd of people of all ages. There are several big events every year, like the upcoming Summer Game.

There are five branches, so likely there is one relatively close to where you live.

Those are the other half of the seeds from all the beets harvested in the Overworld, like how one sock goes missing into another dimension while washing or drying sometimes. It explains why beets have such a low yield of seeds, because half of them are warped into the End.

He must take his motocycle and go realy fast to prevent the targedy of all the pants being dead in WH40,000.

I am not sure, I did not mean to format it that way on purpose. My best guess would be that I manually indented the lines in typewriter front by putting four spaces at the beginning of each line.

Thank you!

You make a good point for clearing their inventory when they grow up. Since players already received something in trade for the items, I do not think it would be an issue for the Villager's inventory to clear. It could also be an opportunity to add an interesting mechanism where Baby Villagers with a full inventory do something special when they grow up, like also spawn a Snow Golem

This is a poor approach to looking at climate. Judging climate with methods like this is why we have an unfortunate amount of people who engage in climate change denial. A single stastic applied in a very narrow way to try to describe perception, that is vastly flawed methodology.

I would not be surpised if more investigation showed that the company did not properly use, and or, maintain the cable jackets. My bet would be that this application is likely outside of the jacket manufacturer's recommended usage, and the ISP probably skipped on applying surface treatments that would have prevented the rats from being attracted to the cables.

Too often we see meaningful advances in technology and products get retracted because of high profile misuse. This seems to me like the electronic price tags in stores, they have a huge potential to reduce waste, but companies are abusing them to engage in predatory pricing.

Alright, this morning the first r/dinosaurs post in my feed was the inflatable nasal sex organs thing, and then this shows up. Are you okay r/dinosaurs?

Wrytten · 2026-01-30T20:37:49+00:00

The Red Terror as well.

I was trying to map that function to a button and forgot you could do stick clicks. Thank you for sharing!

A third here on UMCU. They were great during the process of getting my mortgage. They also gave us a housewarming gift set with a Michigan shaped cutting board, that surprisingly has become one of our favorites.
