You play shattered pixel dungeon for the next 20 hours is what you do.

You should have embraced the heck out of that.

I rewatched it a few years ago. Didn't much care for it. But remember when it first came out (I was around 20 at the time) and liked it.

On a side note; I totally owned the Huffy Sledgehammer bike just like the one in the movie. I had gotten it when I was around 13 years old. I got it out of grandma and grandpa's garage and sold it on Craigslist for $100, when it should have been worth like $25.

Also, yes. I did take it on some pretty sweet jumps.

That article you linked is utter trash, but it is correct about battery weight of a charged battery....technically....very technically....barely.

Like, a 4,000 mah lithium battery fully charged should weigh about 30 picograms more than when dead.

To put 30 picograms into perspective; a single 5 inch long human hair weighs around 0.04 grams. Well that's 40,000,000,000 picograms.

There just needs to be a cemented in place ban that can't be undone for at least 20 years.

There's nothing being made in the US for batteries because you can't beat China in price and companies aren't going to put six billion dollars and 5 tears of construction I to making a battery factory if they don't believe the ban would last long enough for it to be worth it.

Possibility for private planes, but none for commercial planes. Just imagine a commercial passenger plane or cargo plane that needed a giant amount of electricity and like 12 hours of charging in between every flight.

Then, for safety reasons you'll need to have two batteries in case one goes bad.

Once again, I did this for a living, for a decade. We would constantly have cars with failed batteries, we would bring them in, charge them up, test them, they would pass, we'd send them on their way, and they would fail again

I also test batteries and this just looks like you all didn't test them well. Like you skipped the capacity test because it takes being hooked up for a long time instead of the test that takes 20 seconds to do.

No they aren't. They degrade before they fail. If tesla wanted to provide a warning of a failing battery that pretty much always worked it could have wired in a load test and went off voltage drop under a heavier load.

Testing if batteries are good or bad does not qualify a person to chart out battery degradation.

What? No they aren't. They almost always fail on a curve of power and voltage loss.

Also, I didn't look it up, but I'd be very surprised if the model Y tesla didn't require (suggest and oem?) an AGM battery. It's still lead, but due to how they're made they can't get a dead short in them like older regular lead acid batteries can once they get old, although it still isn't very common for it to happen.

They still get way better gas mileage. They also don't cost $15,000 when the battery goes bad. I replaced my 12 year old prius battery myself in like two hours after buying a brand new $2,900 replacement from the Toyota dealership. Could have just bought and replaced the bad cell in it, but in a 12 year old battery I'd probably have another to replace within a year and just have to keep going in and replacing one after the other, which would be a pain.

Here's where they're legal, and exactly how legal they are in the US

Many of the "legal" states aren't all that legal, really.

They'll just keep it shut off. It's not a requirement.
