If you look at the battery pack, you’ll see that its a large number of C cells bound together into rods and then into a “brick” of a battery that then looks like:
That’s true for kinda sorta everything? Battery manufacturers don’t want to have to deal with creating a bunch of custom battery runs, so they end up standardizing and higher level manufacturers buy from there. This is especially true in situations where space isn’t at an absolute premium (like it is in a phone). Open up the battery pack for your cordless drill and you’ll find very standard batteries inside there, probably hooked up in series to get to the desired voltage.
I use a Logitech Marathon M705 mouse that lasts 3 years on two AA batteries, according to Logitech. I’ve got Eneloops in it that I’ve been using for around 10 years now, and I’ve had to charge them maybe 4 times in total?
Struwwelpeter is absolutely not a fairy tale though. Fairy tales can be gruesome in their own way, but nothing to do with this story - it’s by a single author.
I'm too stupid to figure out the scale between that pole and the earth, so I did this instead:
Let us say that we have a standard globe and it has been attached to its stand from the south and north poles, so that you can spin it around on the stand
Let us assume that the "pole" attached to the globe is 2cm in diameter and that the scale of the globe is 1:42M
With this, it would mean that a 2cm "pole" on a globe would in real life correspond to a pole that is 840 kilometers in diameter.
Needless to say, that pole would be fucking massive either way.
Can someone explain this one? What is funny is that I would gladly buy some of their latest games if only I could play them on GeForce Now but it seems like they do not want people to be able to play there.
I'm fine with remasters/remakes/whatever just as long as the studio also does other stuff,. especially if it's specifically with a franchise. So yeah, this has been a bit much. I don't play GTA but well aware how long it's been around. My guess is microtransactions are probably keeping it alive. I heard they've made so much money from it.
My Garmin Montana GPS uses 3 AA batteries and it’s really handy if you’re in an area without mains electricity since carrying a an extra set (or even buying alcalines in a pinch) will get you going again!
