  • crush up some graphite really finely in a mortar (from a good source, like the carbon rods in zinc-carbon batteries, which can be usually found as those chonky D batteries if you dont need the large rods the video shows, or soft pencil leads, as the hard ones contain clay, and also be prepared to spend a lot if you go the pencil lead route), mix with glue, play with ratios (the more graphite the better, but it might start cracking with too much graphite) and type of glue (elmers, superglue, epoxy, try to aim for something slightly flexible as tou mentioned it's gonna be under stress)

    but i'll warn you that it's gonna work kinda bad compared to finding where the carbon trace originates and soldering a wire there (there's gotta be metal somewhere)

  • op here, I reposted this from a group chat and didn't notice, sorry for forever cursing your eyes with the forbidden art

  • wha wha what

    no, it's an organic solvent like ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate + some other stuff, which have a boiling point of 230+°C ( 446°F)

    heating up batteries is (mostly) fine (under controlled scenarios with known good batteries, spicy pillows can always happen with bad batches) as long as the plastic holding them together doesn't melt

    you physically CANNOT make a lithium ion battery with water because lithium reacts with water

    from the wikipedia page

    Lithium reacts vigorously with water to form lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas. Thus, a non-aqueous electrolyte is typically used, and a sealed container rigidly excludes moisture from the battery pack. The non-aqueous electrolyte is typically a mixture of organic carbonates such as ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate containing complexes of lithium ions.[45] Ethylene carbonate is essential for making solid electrolyte interphase on the carbon anode,[46] but since it is solid at room temperature, a liquid solvent (such as propylene carbonate or diethyl carbonate) is added.

  • can't you practice on a pig?

  • what are you gonna do about it?

    grow up, either grab a rifle and start shooting at political candidates or vote for the lesser evil, you can't sit in the corner and cry like a 5 year old waiting for the teacher to come and defend you.

    This is the real world, nobody is gonna help you but yourself.

    Yes, it is unfair, it is fucked and it is bad, but really, what are you gonna do about it?

  • What makes YT educational but not other platforms?

    the amount of money the lawmakers get

  • unrelated, but the USA uses the same drug on human beings for lethal executions

  • chaotic good, if I misremember the command lawful evil

  • do you remember when in minecraft you chopped down a forest for wood and didn't replant it? remember how you had to go to triple the distance to find another one, wasting even more time?

  • even worse when you're in a group of people and everyone except you is using the urinals

  • ~ $ apt assessment

    E: Invalid operation assessment

  • friendly reminder that unless you build your drone from scratch or flash some fancy firmware it has an ID that gets broadcast and can be traced back to you. be safe

  • do not mix bleach and ammonia under any circoumstamce, you will die from a painful hydrazine (poisonous) and nitrogen trichloride (explosive) death

  • acid is gonna do dogshit on cars, if it doesn't splash away in half a second the paint will protect the car

    YSK: The bitwarden android app contains google and microsoft trackers

    You can download it from F-Droid or use the F-Droid release flavour when downloading from github, but IMO they should be removed from all releases
