  • My experience is lithium batteries really slow down electricity production in cold.

    I’ve tested batteries for car flashlights, and found lithiums will die much faster than any other due to cold. Even after warming up they have less charge (and this use-case needs power now).

    NiMH seems to tolerate cold much better for my use case.

    I don’t store any batteries that I like outside - no battery tech likes extreme temps, some less than others.

    More simplistically, pretty much everything dislikes temp swings or extremes, especially anything plastic. So that’s kind of my guide. If it’s plastic, I bring it in.


  • Wow, you’re all wrapped up in power dynamics you have zero sense of courtesy for others.

    Hey, again, you don’t want to play along, that’s fine - you’ll be the one to reap what you sow.

    And in today’s business climate of 360° reviews, HR over-reach, etc, you’ll be the one missing out. Pretty much anyone in a business environment would agree that cussing is inappropriate. If nothing else, it demonstrates someone’s lack of ability to either recognize their audience, or (as in your case), to be dismissive of them.

    Cuss all you want, just don’t cry when you’re offered up during layoffs.




  • And here’s the problem with Wikipedia - while technically darker roasted coffee doesn’t have more caffeine by volume than lighter roasts…technically the way coffee is brewed properly is by weight, and darker grounds are often used for things like espresso, which requires a much finer grind. So the same volume of dark grounds will technically have more coffee grounds than a lighter roast used for drip or pour-over.

    Lots of detail is obfuscated when things are summarized. Sometimes those details matter.

    Also, it seems a lot if this doesn’t address the facetious or hyperbolic angle of these statements (though several do).

    Again, sometimes this change in level (or direction) of focus fundamentally changes what something means.
