So in the non US game version, Soda Popinski is named Vodka Dunkenski.

Survive round one and tyson gets a bit easier.

I still have this game on my still working NES from 1987. MTPO and Tecmo Bowl are still fantastic.

*edit. That's supposed to be "Drunkinski".

Containing it for a while seems to be super hard. It's really corrosive to most anything that can withstand the heat and pressure. Basically, they haven't managed to make plumbing that works for it. Liquid salt gets mad at shit all the time.

So lithium is OK, so long as it's cheap and gotten off the backs of chinese?

We haven't doubled at all over the past 15 years, though. That's completely false. Not in capacity or cycles.

Inuit lost like 16% this past week. That's a $113 drop per share for em.

Yeah. There's zero reason a disk drive with a recognized genuine serial tied to it shouldn't work in any other system you stick it in that the system could verify online.

"Those materials have to be made available at the same prices the manufacturer charges to authorized repair providers."

One screen order $189. Three or more screens $120 a piece.

Some minor changes here and there, but the underlying makeup of the batteries and their shortcomings have been largely the same. Lithium and issues with dendrites that cause them to go bad/lose capacity after around 2,500 complete charge cycles. Most of the improvements have consisted of pulse charging different cells at a time in large batteries and trying to always keep the batteries in the 30% to 80% capacity range to extend the lifespan. Batteries last longer if you put one big enough in a vehicle to go 400 miles, but only allow for a 200 mile range.

They refine a lot, but hardly have most of the lithium. Most of the bigger mining operations are out of Chile or Austrailia. The largest known lithium deposit is in the USA around Oregon. They haven't started mining that one, yet. 20 to 40 million metric tons of mineable lithium.

9 of the 10 largest lithium Mines aren't in China. They're mostly Australia and Chile. Also, the largest known lithium deposit in the world is near Oregon, USA.

Yeah. New battery tech is always almost about to come out......15 years and waiting.
