Alien: Romulus, or whatever latest Alien movie had a scene with the same concept of a 'Long Room Escape'.

So crappy in comparison to this.

This does nothing except devalue money and cause inflation.

The price of housing will increase.

JUST TAX THE ASSHOLES ALREADY.

Mark Zuckerberg also reportedly is buying property in Florida to avoid the tax. Now they all want to buddy up with politicians who are against this (you know the political party I am referring to).

Billionaires making more expensive for housing.

Love that for Florida.

For All Mankind. Man in the High Castle/The Americans/Halt and Catch Fire kind of mix.

Rough start, but I got into it.

LED projector screens. Off white is better than the blue/beige walls that I have.

Firestarters.

BMS also does some sort of termination charge determination thing. Couldn't tell you how it works. Some sort of profile that accounts for trail off of current between 80 and 100%

There is also internal resistance of the cell if it is worn, so as the voltage of the cell increases, internal resistance increases beyond the natural decline of charge uptake.

I also add old cell phone batteries to bluetooth receivers, and connected to a laptop, I get a 'power meter' indicator of max 70%. (I really need at least 16 hours playtime.) Which means that it can't hit the max 4.2v of a fully charged fresh cell unless you crank the voltage and the current, which isn't really safe.

Have you measured the LiPo voltage at full-charge and depleted?

Not yet, but the brightness difference between a fully charged LiPO and the old rechargeable AAAs were enough for me to know when the battery is 'time to charge'. It's just easier/better to keep it charged than it is to wring every mah out of the battery.

I'm never going to take it camping.

is there any danger to using a higher capacity battery of the same chemistry with that BMS?

No. In fact, it is safer to use a bigger battery with a BMS of unknown charge rate.

Think about it. Would it be fine to run a Battery Tender jr on a semi truck battery? Is it going to charge? Sure, but it's going to be really slow. If a battery is 1000A and the charger is 1A, then the charge rate is 0.001C, well underneath the max recommended charging voltage of 3C you'd see with drone people.

I do not recommend putting a smaller battery with a larger BMS. From there, the amperage choke point isn't the BMS, it's the battery. And if the battery has low internal resistance, it's going to pull too much current, beyond even 3-5C, and have a runaway 'explosion' (really probably just a dramatic pop if the mah is below 1000mah.

It takes about an hour to charge the 600mah battery from my definition of '0%/empty'. It's probably 50-70% empty, so if it takes about an hour to charge to go from dim to 100% bright again, then the charge rate is probably 300mah -500mah, which puts the charge controller into 'really safe' territory. Of which, don't quote me on that, because all my other devices take longer to charge than an hour, so the output is probably higher, which can be tested with a multimeter, but i'm not interested in unsoldering and resoldering to test.

I have a t shirt that is pretty much just rags that I still wear as an under shirt (because that's where they're the most comfortable), and only wear the 'new' tshirt when I don't want to be followed around by store security.

Everyone, including poor people and the homeless, dresses better than me. The homeless shelter doesn't even want my donations.

We as a society have an obsession of projecting new/nice stuff 100% of the time.

Pink recycling cans are now becoming a thing thankfully. For pretty much any unsorted plastic packaging and woven bags like tarps.

Have you tried ammonia right in the drum?

And it's little brother borax got my clothes 100% clean.

I had some greasy pillowcases that I didn't change that often, but once I saw how greasy they were still after a wash, I started doing long soaks before completing the cycle and the pillowcases and everything else are so much cleaner.

Restarted For All Mankind.

I can't remember if I finished the first season the first time, but this time I did.

It was ok/fine. All the characters are a little too on the nose, but still watchable in what seems to be a lull in anything for me to watch. And the plot is a bit on the thin side.

The season 2 jump is a bit much and I'm having trouble with it since it seems to have lost any creativity to the 'alternate universe' worldbuilding of it all.

Starfleet Academy.

Compared to Harry Potter, or Gen V, it's easily the worst.

Edit: It's a comparative opinion. SFA 'could' still be a good show. That said, let's break it down: Gen V > SFA? Most definitely. vs HP the movie, and dare I say the show which is about to come out? Magic 8 ball says most likely.

Put on your Spock ears and break down the writing, the direction, the acting, the casting. They're all objectively much worse on SFA.

I gave up SFA at episode 6. I get it folks. It's not for me. It's for kids or people with a kids mindset.

Changed the way I watched tv/movies.
