Printable Batteries Should Arrive Next Year

Posted by timothy on from the return-to-the-goodness-of-aa dept.

FullBandwidth writes "Paper-thin batteries that can be printed onto greeting cards or other flexible substrates have been demonstrated at Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems in Germany. The batteries have a relatively short life span, as the anode and cathode materials dissipate over time. However, they contain no hazardous materials."

    When I first met her, she was in her 60's and had an ass like a drum.

    When I first met your mom, she had an asshole the diameter of a bass drum. And like a real bass drum I had to shove pillows inside it until it was tight enough to stay quiet while I was beating it.

    Here's the +5 insightful part: anything green is going to have shit quality and shorter life. The sticker rive of the Toyota Prius, for example, is just a faggot tax paid for disobeying God's word.

    If you are going to say that Africans are somehow less intelligent than other races, and then claim that is the reason there has been very little scientific progress made by Africans, you would also have to show how this holds true in non-African countries where Africans have moved and actually made significant scientific achievements.

    In the United States alone, botanist George Washington Carver is well known for his work with the peanut, Lewis Latimer developed the carbon filament used in light bulbs, Garrett Morgan invented both the gas mask and the traffic signal, and Otis Boykin developed the pacemaker and the electronic control system for ICBMs. As you can see, this is scientific progress in both pure and applied science.

    Perhaps you'd like to rescind your racist remarks.

      Congradulations, you were just outsmarted by a 10 year old. The trolls posting about shit-eating, racism, and such crap are obviously children whose mommy and daddy think the internet should be a baby sitter. Giving these shit headed brats attention just encourages their behavior.

      If you want to get rid of them, you should write congress to give prison time to parents who allow their children to use the internet unattended. Would also solve the problem of pedophiles on the internet and the taliban cries to censor "offensive" material.

      The only one getting trolled here is you.

      Seriously. Look at the weak-ass "response" defending African Americans that you are responding to. Note that he brings the discussion to America where blacks make up a significant percentage of incarcerated criminals. He throws out a few AA scientists including perennial non-starter GW Carver. There is no defense provided against the IQ issue.

      It's a masterful work of art. It is subtle and clever and contains just enough exposed hooks to catch idiots like yourself who think that trollbusting is some noble cause. The only shame is that it's way down here at -1 where no one will ever see it.

      I know I'll be modded down but screw "anonymous". When it comes to Germans you have to separate Ashkenazi Jews from the rest. Asians have higher average IQs than non-Ashkenazi whites (~100), but lower (average) IQs than Jewish people. The average IQ of black people situated in developed countries like America is actually 10 points higher (85) than Africans (75), most likely due to intermixing of races over the last few hundred years (those white girls on plantations sure got lonely back then). I also want to point out an experience I had at my high school some years ago. We had an Africa-American appreciation exhibit in our gym/auditorium, hosted by some third party organization. They put on display a bunch of items that Africans had invented over the last several decades. One of them was *the lunchbox*. My friends and I facepalmed and subsequently lolled. The other inventions weren't particularly impressive either. I imagine some black people make valuable contributions to society, but that organization sure didn't do a good job of demonstrating that.

    I suppose you believe the moon landing and the Holocaust were carefully contrived hoaxes, too, perpetrated by thousands of people all working in perfect harmony to pull them off?

    You really need to be less trusting of some of the garbage you've been reading, but I suspect you WANT to believe this for some reason, which is why it's crossing your blood-brain barrier so easily.
