Why don't batteries last for more than one use? I took a trip around my backyard and found a dandelion, in half-bloom. I took a photo of it. I hooked up my camera to download it to my laptop... Do you see it here? Of course not!...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382095) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Feb

I went to a mall yesterday for a few things and while there I had the batteries replaced in two watches. For some reason, I have about five watches; all with flat batteries. You can see one of the watches in the photo. It would...

I Use Dead Batteries

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 28 Oct

For whatever reason, we tend to use a lot of AA batteries. The remotes take them, and they are used for other things, even in a couple of our clocks. There are a couple in our thermostat. When they are "dead," I keep them instead...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 28 Jul

I am going to gush a bit here, so please do pardon me in advance. But as I have written about customer service here so many times before, there's one thing that is probably abundantly clear about me. [b]Bad customer service is a...

Winter Sucks Update

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 15 Jan 24

Well, I wound up taking my wife to work this morning even though I offered for her to just take my truck. But she was concerned I'd be stranded. I told her I had no plans to go anywhere. In any event, I did manage to get her...

Single Use Products

celticeagle @celticeagle (189833) • Boise, Idaho 8 Jun 22

Are you trying to get away from using single-use products for the sake of our planet? I have been getting many of the same products but then I try to get refills and use the same original bottles. For instance, the hand soap...

This morning I've had breakfast, am having coffee, and I made a phone call to Chewy, who sent me an email that Angel's stuff arrived yesterday, but it didn't. The lady said they'd send another shipment out, and should the stuff I...

Battery life

Amber @AmbiePam (120738) • United States 16 Aug 20

Most people probably think of a phone when you think of battery life. I was thinking of the batteries in my TV remote. Every time my TV tells me the batteries in my remote are low, I wait. I go for every second I can before I...

Small batteries now being turned into fertiliser

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382095) • Rockingham, Australia 25 May 20

We lost our internet again yesterday. Duh. However, here we are again. I’m sure we all use batteries of varying shapes and sizes. Remote controls and children’s toys are just two uses of single-use alkaline batteries. In our...

Batteries

celticeagle @celticeagle (189833) • Boise, Idaho 28 Mar 20

I have such a love/hate relationship with batteries. So expensive but so giving. Found out some interesting facts about them recently. They can last for ten years if stored properly. But what is 'properly'? It's important to keep...

How much effort are you willing to do to get something that rolled well out of reach?

Scott Andersen @DocAndersen (54399) • United States 2 Aug 19

are you willing to poke at the object with a stick or pole? Do you try to move the other object? Does it depend on what rolled away? How far would you go? By the way, if you can't see the object do you have a working...

Flashlight or phone?

Scott Andersen @DocAndersen (54399) • United States 7 May 19

I was working on a project in the basement yesterday. I have a headlamp (from back in the cave exploring days) that I was using. I couldn't, however, use the headlamp as it ran out of batteries, and I didn't have any in the...
