I squeezed in a few extra electrons, but I'm not sure if it's enough. Do you think it will last a full day?

    An elderly man walks into an English pub wearing a military uniform. The barman pours him a pint and asks him where he served, but the man points to a particularly nasty scar across his throat and rasps out the word 'Falklands'.

    The barman is moved by this obvious war injury and tells the old soldier that his drink is on the house. The soldier grins, shakes the barman's hand and says 'Muchas gracias!'

    Its the evolution of removable batteries - the self removing battery.

    It explosively removed itself to low earth orbit earlier. How long should I wait for it to return?

    Don't worry too much about the time. Orbital mechanics guarantees that it will return to the exact same place as it left.

    Unless the Earth is rotating… You didn't start the earth rotating, did you?

    My orbital maths is a bit rusty, but I don't think so? I mean, I am quite close to the top of the planet, and the battery did go pretty quickly, but, uh, I don't think so... 🫣

    All (2-body) orbits are ellipses, so the path is guaranteed to travel through starting location a second time.

    If your battery does not have enough mass to return to you from below, you may need to speak to the manufacturer regarding warranties.

    I’m sure it’s fine, just fill the gap with some silicone.

    Just put it in the microwave. I'm going to go out into my garden and see which direction the sonic boom comes from.

    Spicy pillow! Discharge it if you can and then don't charge it again.

    Is this one of those 3d touch screens?

    "LSLANDS (LSLAS MALVINAS)"

    Why are the capital "I"s printed as "L"s, but the lowercase "i"s in small caps are correct?

    Why is "U.K." lowercase (small caps), but "ARGENTINA" in all caps (also in small caps)?
