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!'
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... ๐ซฃ
All joking aside, I did mean to ring my local fire station today to find out how to dispose of it in my area. The local guidance is pretty much non existent.

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?
18107@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 299d
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 rotatingโฆ You didn't start the earth rotating, did you?

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.

Looks like the Falklands are about to explode again ๐ฎโ๐จ

That's one spicy pillow
Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 299d
Ah, the spiciness might be what's making my head tingle when I sleep on it ๐ค

That and the spare electrons! They multiply at night, of course!

Iโm sure itโs fine, just fill the gap with some silicone.

Whoah, not good.
He's gotta press it down first so it makes a good seal
Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 299d
Maybe if I seal it, I can squeeze a bit more electric in and fill any gaps ๐ค

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

It's safely in my garage for now and isn't being touched until I hear from my local fire station about the best way to dispose of it here ๐

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

I PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE, BUT THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND NOW I CAN'T FIND THE MICROWAVE

"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)?

The map is awesome, you can play games of spot the 'deliberate' errors all around the world ๐๐คฃ

Mmmm... Puff battery. I wonder if it tastes as good as a puff pastry, I'm just going to get a knife and find out ๐
