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.

Anything less than a cooperative is a compromise.

Constructive or insightful comments, such as this, are the kind of content Lemmy should strive for.

A quality water bottle.

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.

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.

My mum

Well she'd know how my transition is going.

My employer

Doesn't seem professional for my employer to be looking at such things. Shame on them.

My kids

I don't have kids but if they were underage then that's a mail-ordered crate of ACME-brand Yikes bad ideas.

(I want to be clear that, even if I am a Dingus, I'm only one who is shitposting.)

Sounds like we just need a Share Your Nudes Week to help destigmatize a very ordinary part of modern life.
