  • You can absolutely make a lipo battery “explode” by overheating it by drawing too much power. But it’s the kind of explosion where it spews hot gas and maybe catches on fire. You’ll definitely get hurt, but that’s about it.

    You can do MUCH worse by overcharging it. (note the size of that battery). There will eventually be a fireball if you overcharge it and keep overcharging it when it’s already swollen to a balloon. But you generally don’t charge stuff while it’s in your pocket.

    These were actual killing-people-explosions. Lipo batteries don’t do that.









  • The German thing is a bit different. It’s kind of like if English didn’t have “they” as a neutral alternative, so people use “**e” as way to mean neither “he” nor “she”.

    That’s fine in writing, but it looks pretty weird, doesn’t work well in other forms, and you get things like “e gives the ball to h”. It also really doesn’t work outside the written word, because how do you pronounce that?

    And I do understand that you don’t want the female form to be the neutral form. If youre genderneutral, it probably feels weird to be constantly adressed as a woman.
