Denver isn’t great with public transport either. There’s at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that’s the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you’re looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that’s really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there’s not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.

It’s a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it’s pretty rough to use as a primary transport.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise

That’s a good point, and lithium batteries get sparky when the lithium gets exposed. In the boat example I’m not going to worry too much about lead acid batteries, if they leak it should dilute quickly. Honestly unless punctured, I’m not going to worry about the lithium batteries really either. You typically find out about punctures in those rather quickly. Like before the water is the issue.

No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don’t think much would happen. Don’t be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don’t think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.

But I could be very wrong.

Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It’s been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it’s similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it’s been stable

Plus I get to say I’m running my 3d printer on a potato

Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn’t even reply with the “stop to opt out”. Just, leave me alone. I’m not excited for Biden but I’m going to do what I need to do. That won’t show in any polls.
