Seiko Instruments MS621FE Tiny, rechargeable 5.5mAh coin cell battery (6.8x2.1mm) $1.11 @ 5k Imagine, if you will, a battery small enough to fit in a ring. That is also rechargeable. CRAZY CONCEPT. Surely nobody would create e-waste on purpose.

βShrapnel that hunts youβ
@ripplebrain The future of artillery and airstrikes will be clusterbombs that are dozens to hundreds of autonomous drones that automatically deploy. You fire a shell and an hour later 30 people within 3km of it's arrival have died. The shrapnel actively hunts you.
