Warner Bros. not getting Billy Dee Williams to reprise his role as Harvey from the 1989 Batman was truly the biggest crime the studio did.

I think its because certain Americans are kind of afraid of other Americans looking too closely at France and their Unions.

I use oat milk sometimes because voddy plus chocolate oat milk is kinda like Baileys, and a "white russian" is a coffee liqueur, vodka and milk.

Kids today also don't ever lick 9V batteries either, which is probably why they have all these problems

I can see the meter slowly creeping up.

If you touched the meter part to something sensitive like your lips you could feel it was hot, meaning it was just a big resistor

how the hell did those work anyway? liquid crystals? electrophoresis?

e: 5 seconds of googling says it is a thermochromic ink that changes color if the battery current heats it up enough. :ms:

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Once saw a kid in high school lick a 9v battery. In the process, he touched it to his braces. Worth noting that there was a spring on the braces near where he touched them. I think that they acted like a coil in an electrical circuit.

There was a spark and an audible *cack* sound. It didn't knock him out, but it did stun him hard enough that he did fail over.

I nearly pissed my self laughing.

Has anyone used C or D cells lately? My kid had an old toy from 1997 that went dead and it needed a C cell and we didn't have any in the house and I realized I haven't used a C or D cell in years.

My cheap-rear end LED digital clock runs on 2 D-Cell batteries. Had to go to Home Depot to grab some.\

Yeah several of my kids toys use them, and some of the stuff in our emergency kit (torch, radio, this water purifier thing).

I’ve got an LED mag light that takes D cells. But it’s an LED the first set of batteries latest eight years.

Stickey keys as a feature is fine, it's just an odd shortcut that you can easily hit unintentionally so once per profile you get an unexpected tone/popup and have to go change a setting. It would be nice if it was something that required a more deliberate keypress.

Flashlights were the first thing I thought of but we've got one or two little ones that use AA. The toy that needed it was one of those wiggling vibrating magnetic fishing pole things I got him at the thrift shop and none of his other toys need anything larger than an AA.

Some memes for the battery thread that I have stolen over the years - some from incarnations of this very thread!
