  • Met a friend of a friend some months ago who customised electrical vehicles of all kinds, a battery like this blew up while he and his best friend were close to it. His friend died and he got burned real bad, the left side of his body is badly scarred and he lost fingers, hearing, most of his vision and other stuff on that side.
    We sat and talked for most of the night and after that I have a whole new “respect” for batteries. My mom uses an e-bike daily and I’ve made real sure she is aware of the possible danger. She used to store and charge the battery close to the door of her apartment, now it’s in a battery safety bag in one of the closets where it wouldn’t be in the way of getting out if something happens.
    Fucking scary stuff.







  • Oh yeah, it’s just not warmer for longer. I was just thinking about adding stuff about this to the previous comment.
    The past decade it’s been increasingly common with what seems like an extreme early winter, full blizzard for about a week in early October and then it’s like the weather goes “nah, I’ll give you some more summer” and it’s barely fall season till early november.
    It really shows how fucked everything already is when it’s generally much warmer for longer here and much colder for longer for you in Texas, with episodes for both of what I’ve started calling “extreme bipolar weather”.
    And I know neither of us are experiencing the real extremes that are happening in many places around the world, an increasing and already scary amount of people are dying every year from all the crazy shit going on with the environment. Heat strokes, hypothermia, floods, drought etc. and it’s not even close to how bad it will get in our lifetimes.
    It’s fucking scary, and a completely valid reason to hate humanity and society as it is (and has been for a long time).



  • I accidentally dated a 19yo when I was 29… She told me she was 25, everything pointed towards that being true (she had lived away from her parents for several years, had a full time job, looked the part, on a surface level acted the part etc.)

    Yes, I ended the relationship (while she tried to twist it around to her being the one who is ending it, which is childish) when I found out.

    I’m now very keen on getting factual age with proof and generally go for same age or older than me. Never again, I felt so fucking disgusting.
