There's that 1960's college "electrical engineering degree" showing
it's age. Batteries are not considered solid state, only
semiconductors when compared to vacuum tubes. Lithium (and all
batteries for the last 2,300 years) batteries are electromechanical.
They rely on chemical reactions to store energy and convert it to
electricity. Atoms and other shit is moving in those batteries, you
just can't see it.

Even I know that and I don't have a useless electrical engineering
degree.

This is the first time dsi1 actually got something right. but then he
follows it up with this "I guess... " bullshit, as usual.

ObFood: According to nutritional information, there's less than half a
spear of asparagus in a can of Campbell's Cream of Asparagus Soup, yet
it costs twice as much as Cream of Celery Soup. this means they're
paying $28/pound for asparagus. Or that they're just greedy assholes
preying on gullible consumers.
