You might want to re-read the article. That quote was talking about lithium ion batteries.

This scarcity, combined with the surge in demand for the lithium-ion batteries for laptops, phones and EVs, have sent prices skyrocketing, putting the needed batteries further out of reach.

Lithium deposits are also concentrated. The “Lithium Triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia holds more than 75% of the world’s lithium supply, with other deposits in Australia, North Carolina and Nevada. This benefits some nations over others in the decarbonization needed to fight climate change.

“Global action requires working together to access critically important materials,” Meng said.

I’m all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.

Kind of ironic this is where you’re making a stand.

The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.

The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.

We’re not exactly more than a couple steps away from the SCOTUS saying that if you can’t prosecute official acts, then ipso facto it must also extend to those enforcing the acts.

My TV came with a five year warranty - two year manufacturer, two years Costco, and one year from my Costco credit card.

My washer and dryer got seven. Same deal, but Costco was offering an extra extended warranty plan for free.

The best part is that they design their warranties to run consecutively instead of concurrently. Unfortunately, Citi got rid of the extended warranty with the Costco credit cards about a year and a half ago.
