The pendulum of power swings because those who hold it get cocky and start making too many dumb moves for too long, and then it goes to the other side to try their hand at foolishness and corruption.

Hmm. If one could find a place to stand and insert a lever, or better yet an electrical solenoid, -- just think of the possibilities.

Is there any more? It looks like the floor above failed. It must have been burning for a while.
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Security blanky.

A car transport vessel may have been lost due to battery fire, along with all the cars. It was an environmentally friendly fire and sinking though.

Inflammable cobalt free batteries can’t come fast enough.
Already being sold in Canada , soon no batteries will be flammable and only your phone will burn |

Seems to be another battery breakthrough dead end.
