This is the way

There's an even more accessible way to pop popcorn. Add oil to a pot, heat it on the stove and dump in some kernels. Optionally cover with a lid.

Best part is when there isn't anything that interrupts, but you just forget the habit

In most of the EU countries, that is fine as our sockets are mostly 16A rated. Unless you stick 2 of those GPUs in your PC

This is not that great of an idea unless you have a fridge that actively dries itself from the inside.

Until friction and tolerances cancel out any kind of movement. A gearbox with as many stages as the one in the picture, the torque required to start moving the last gear is bigger than the first gear can handle.

Yup, just plugged it in there. The internal resistance of these cells was high enough that it limited the current somewhere between 3-8A. And this was done only briefly as these cells got quite...warm.

Meth for your lunch nap. Quad espresso for your nighty nights.

Don't know if it is fully optional, but Star Craft 2 installs on low res first, allowing you to boot the game in low res before the full install has completed.

I remember recovering dead 18650 cells from laptop batteries and "restoring" them with a 12V modded PC PSU. Quite a few of them actually started working again and had some capacity for a few tens of additional cycles. Those cells were never left unattended in a charger and they were always only used in a device you could chuck in a moment's notice.

10/10 do not recommend.

Don't forget audio quality drop when switching from audio only to audio + microphone. Shit drives me up the wall.

Considering that even the hybrid cars made by car manufacturers themselves are heavier than their ICE counterparts, I don't think that by retrofitting an older car you'll get a better result.

For example, 2024 Hyundai Tucson curb weights:

Heaviest ICE: 3663 lbs

Lightest hybrid: 3692 lbs

Lightest plugin hybrid: 4115 lbs
