    At the time I’m not sure how to make it clear I was referring to the new tech rechargeable AA batteries. Except this is a thread about batteries. So I didn’t feel the need to spell it out.

    I did want to mention the consistent 1.5v voltage. The li-ion cell is sepped down to 1.5v so it’s maintained perfectly until the cell runs out of juice and cuts to 0.

    Its great for sensitive electronics lifespan and performance.

    The issue is many devices work fine with standard 1.5v batteries. They take the full range of down to 1.2v(?)
    In fact they tolerate voltage drop off and have warnings when the voltage drops too far so you can replace them.

    The pain with li-ion AA batteries is they never set off the low battery warning. They just straight up die. Due to the consistent 1.5v.

    I have mixed feelings over those new Lithium ion AA batteries.

    They require special charging means (USBC on the battery itself or a special charger bank) and they don’t fall off on voltage.

    Its great to have a perfect 1.5v but it doesn’t wane down. It just dies.

    In a TV remote or flashlight it’s great. I use them in devices that provide low battery warning like Xbox controllers and the low battery indicator never goes off. This is annoying if it just dies out of nowhere while gaming.

    When I first started eating healthy I bought healthy snacks too. Then watching the serving size with a food scale.

    I then realized I can still eat the crap junk food I did before just keep to the serving size.

    So instead bringing a pack of Oreos to my computer and eating 8~13 while gaming I get 3 with half a glass of milk and leave the pack in the kitchen.

    Eventually I stopped buying Oreos and switched to nuts / fruit.

    Lost 20 lbs

    Best I got is trusting my gut feeling.

    15 years ago we had a blizzard.
    I’m driving a company car on a highway.
    My boss called me telling me I can go home for the day.
    I’m younger and dumb so I tell him I know how to drive so I’m going to finish my last stop first.
    Going 60mph in the slow lane. Barely any cars.

    Then I see a cluster of five cars going 80mph~ (15 over the limit like people normally do) while tailgating each other.

    My Spidey sense freaks out. I lay off the accelerator and just slow all the way down to 40 and let them pass. Don’t wanna be near them at all.

    Once they’re about 200(?) yards ahead of me all of them hit the brakes. Front car slides rotating 90° and gets ping ponged around in front of me Black ice

    Hit my brake. Does nothing.
    Start white knuckleing.
    See the fast lane/brake down open.
    I rotate my wheel just enough to start a turn and clear them just in time. All five hit each other or the walls.

    Holy shit I’m glad I listened to my gut
    Even if you think you know how to drive. Fucking idiots can still kill you.
