I've never seen a dead battery that didn't eventually go full "spicy pillow," but until then they're as safe as new (assuming no physical damage to the battery). That being said, it wouldn't hurt you to take it to a certified battery recycler and get a new one.

Me? Rarely, but my stage manager does it at least nightly

And how would I signal 5 at a distance?

But why do people put the year last when speaking? It's no less arbitrary. We were just socialized to say it that way, so now it "sounds more natural," but it's not.

Also, speech doesn't dictate writing. Do British people say "11th April" out loud?

"...I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature."

We do a lot of things that aren't natural but still benefit us or others. On the flip side, rape, pedophilia and murder are all "natural"—that is to say, they happen in other species of animals—and yet most of us would probably condemn more than 0 of those.

"You wouldn't deny a lion its prey" is a terrible take, I absolutely would if I could. The major difference is that lions are: obligate carnivores, don't speak english nor understand human morality, and-more importantly—known to kill humans for getting too close. If I could save a gazelle and make sure the lion doesn't starve, I'd absolutely train them to eat garbanzelles and zebrussels.

"And as long as we do that ethically... Instead the focus should be on ethical..."

How does one even form a system of ethics when the fundamental premise is not the sanctity of life? Seriously, what's the point of following any rules if I can just kill anyone who takes exception to my behavior?

εὐαγγέλιον

/eu̯.aŋ.ɡé.li.on/

Roughly pronounced ayoo-ahn-gay-lee-on

Or if that's not a compelling argument

新世紀エヴァンゲリオン

/ɕiɲseiki ebangeɾioɴ/

Roughly pronounced Ay-bahn-gay-lee-on

And that's really what matters: how the guy who named it pronounces the name.

Chili without beans is just spiced meat water. You don't like chili, you like stew.

It's the only way that makes sense to parse. Imagine if literally anything else worked with the minor amounts first.

This thing costs 25 cents and 3,000 dollars

The time is currently 45:9.

This program is v11.7.9 and the next release is v0.8.9

I don't like "mixed number" format, like 1/4 and 648,3. I'd much rather say "five hundredths, two tenths, six ones, four tens, 8 hundreds and 3 thousand"

I guess a lot less recipes would get overseasoned though.
