Probably just normal battery. Thing was massive and heavy

Unless you have the screen on constantly, the device doesn't use much power other than sending a signal to headphones

Let's say an 18 year old moves out and starts renting

The average rent in US is 1.5k

30 years of payment is 540k

When that person is 48, they would have paid 540k in rent expenses

This is assuming that rent doesn't increase

Throwing 600k out the window before you're even 50 is not a recipe for success

76 is US average life expectancy. That's ~25 more years of rent.

If they retire at 63. 13 years of 1.5k a month rent is 234k. They need a quarter million in retirement funds just for rent to live up until 76.

45 years of working for that 18 year old would need to make ~750k.

That's 16.5k a year just to pay for rent

Again this is assuming rent never goes up.

That's 8 dollars an hour 40 hours a week every week.

10% more than minimum wage, just for rent.

It's crazy

And this assumes you die and don't have to rent after the age of 76

People not wanting to buy and hold the stock lowers the price.

If everyone wants to short it and no one wants to buy it, then the price will go down.

Not really going down because of the short but lack of demand

Also only temporary because people shorting the stock will eventually have to buy the stock back.

Shorting a stock does not lower the stock price.

You might like Rollerball

Batteries use to have a power check mechanism.

There was a small white circle on the copper top side and a half circle on the bottom non nipple side.

What you needed to do was cover the white circle on side of battery with a thumb and then cover the whole bottom with other thumb and the indicator would tell you how much the battery had left.

Since it was a half circle off the bottom many people didn't know they were supposed to cover up the whole bottom. Making it hard for many to use it because you'd have to press down very hard on the edge to get it to work.

Probably for an air register

From their point of view:

Republican - For God

Democrat - Against God

They have to vote for the party that is for God no matter what.

The other party is going after christ. They see the other side, Democrats, as the anti-christs.

"News" has become "what can you really believe?". It's easy to just not believe any of it but the one issue you care about.

A true Christian would throw their country under the bus if God told them to do it. God comes before Country.

Not handicap accessible, lawsuits

Could you do it to your house? Sure

This also takes a special foundation. Can't just add it to any home

your freezer at -18 °C (0 °F) or lower. This will keep your food out of the temperature danger zone between 4 °C (40 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) where bacteria can grow quickly.

According to Canada.ca

Every 2 F is basically 1 C. You have more whole numbers with F.

Like -15°C is 5°F

6°F is -14.4444°C

-14°C is 6.8°F

So 5, 6, and 7°F are about equal to -15, -14.5, and -14°C.

And it's not just a random number. You know how much more energy would be used if everyone kept their freezer just a couple degrees colder? It's the optimum recommended temperature.

USA uses US Customary units, not Imperial units.

Fahrenheit is grouped with US Customary units but is not one.

I agree metric system is superior and there isn't a reason to use Inches, Feet, Yards, etc.

But Fahrenheit is a great system for weather and works great for everything else.

For science if I have to heat a beaker to 280° it doesn't matter if it's C or F. I'm not going to be able to relate to 280° in either system. The instrument is going to have to tell me the exact measurement.

Same with like a tape measure. I can measure out 3 meters. I don't need to know how long 3 meters is to do that.

However, mark two lines on a piece of paper and I will get closer guessing in inches than cm because I know the US customary units better.

Eventually US will change to metric. But I doubt we will ever not use Fahrenheit for normal day things like weather
