Brine battery

Let me know when Mouser stocks them.

I repeat:

Trump does expose how absolutely irrational and frankly crazy so many people are.

One of them is him. His supporters aren't too rational either.

It must be something in the water.

Gross income inequalities within American society probably have more to do with it.

That sort of stuff tends to be bit bulky for Mouser and other broad-line electronic distributors.

Builders merchants stock that kind of stuff. In Australia you'd go to Bunnings, and you'd need to pay them to deliver the stuff to your home, and most likely somebody else to install it. I've done some do-it-yourself in my time, but there's a definite limit to the mass of the stuff you can move around on your own.

Good point. That explains why Mouser doesn't sell batteries.

I think it is more because of transport complexities/air mail. The Tadiran Lithium battery in my battery noise report came in a second box from Digikey, apart from the rest. Last time I checked it was no longer available at all.

Actually, Mouser and Amazon sell most any chemistry battery you could want. Including big automotive lead-acids.

Your own idea that Donald Trump has "common sense" is a perfect illustration of that.

Amazon sells everything. Lumping them in with Mouser - who is strictly a broad-line electronic distributor - is conceding the argument.

Yes, they voted for him.

The commercial sodium products are already flogged on Ali Baba.

These don't have the 10x recharge cathodes and anodes, as yet.

Shipping includes most of the usual candidates.

I wasn't arguing.

And Amazon generally delivers in a day or two, for free.

Amazon lists a bunch of different Tadiran batteries, with next-day delivery. I guess that, with their own warehouses and delivery drivers, they can deliver stuff that the US Post Office won't.

And with Prime I can order in literally seconds, a few clicks, without a purchase order.

I didn't think Trump had made that ambition official yet.

"Politicians and diapers should be changed on a regular base. For the same reason."

True. Your incompetence makes that impossible.

Probably not where the load fills a truck.

Once you have the infra-structure you can work out how you get people to pay for it.

Making it really easy to order the wrong thing if you don't think carefully about what you are doing, and you don't seem to. Amazon keeps on trying to enlist me into Prime, but I think I've managed to stay out so far.

Well, you don't buy test equipment or components. I wonder how good the delivery is where you are. I can get an amazing range of things, often overnight.

We buy supplies - paper towels, TP, chemicals, copy paper, pens, cookies, tea, most everything, from Amazon too. That's sure better than driving and parking and finding a limited selection at some mall.

We keep a nice array of treats and bottled water for all our delivery people, which turns out to be fun. The UPS guy and the US postlady just go into the kitchen now and help themselves, and use our bathroom.

We're planning a rum tasting.

My most recent purchase from Amazon was underwear - it was easier to get it from them than to make the trip to a departments store.

I also needed a new shower head - a fifteen year old unit came off the wall when the mounting nut corroded through. I ordered the replacement over the web as well, but from a plumbing supplier. I could have got it delivered for $A25 - but the unit itself only cost $A65 so I drove for a mile or so to local sub-urban stockist and picked it up there. Parking wasn't great so that involved walking for few minutes.

The plumbing suppliers ship stuff between local stockists, but that's a lot cheaper than delivering individual parts to a specific address.

Sounds horrible. I'm a member in good standing of Scotch Perspectives in the History of Psychology, and had to taste single malt scotch whiskey's to fit it. The other members were good enough company to justify the painful process of drinking the stuff.
