| I'm a father with autism and I can sort of relate. I find it overwhelming.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but what's the usecase for a battery of long life but low output?
Weather balloons? Satelites? Could an upsized version of this do a better job than the RTGs currently used to power Mars rovers? |

| The neopagans who hijacked Lilith treat her as an actual goddess, but they also completely ignore the fact that she was created to be evil from the very start and to blame for the death of children and birthing mothers (as well as men who get boners while they sleep). I don't think they ignore it. ... |
