Language is funny sometimes. Battery used to refer to a collection of individual electric cells, ‘a battery of cells’ that worked together to supply the required voltage. Old cell tech was such low voltage, that several cells were required to juice itself to practical voltages for working purposes. Here the word was a mot emprunté - borrowed, from the military where battery was a term to describe a functional group of artillery that worked together for improved function. The military stole the old french term battre, ‘to beat’.

Eventually “battery” evolved to mean electric power storage device regardless of cell construction. Now apparently it also includes thermal charging, storage and discharging, even when only a single cell.

Language is weird. The proper term would be accumulator, but weirdness reigns supreme.

Just don’t pretend the Democratic Party aren’t captured opposition. It’s not a monolith, but the faction with power in the DNC are more interested in losing to the Republicans than letting the wrong people win.

Don’t deflect. Fix.

Hey, UK! When you are being compared to Mississippi, you are fucking up very very badly.

This sounds like PR deflection from egging on the kid to suicide. But I still don’t doubt it.

I must peer review this research.

I’ll go one step further. Buy green beans from an importer and fresh roast them yourself. You can roast in an oven, or buy something like the SR540 or SR800. Best coffee of your life and you will learn to appreciate and fine tune everything to your tastes.

The key to great coffee is buying good beans. Personal taste is subjective, but I go crazy for ethiopian. Kenya and Burundi are also frequently very good. Jamaican Blue Mountain is very good, but not worth the price except as a small treat. Kona is trash. Sumatra is just meh to ok. Colombian Supremo is ok, and the price is fair for what you get.

You will learn how med and dark roast pre-ground coffee from the supermarket is trash. Once you taste great coffee, you can’t go back. You know what you’re missing.
