You can get lithium from the pharmacy if you act crazy enough. Farm fresh lithium too, not some old phone battery lithium.

You don't just suck on your old batteries?
Fucking spoiled rich kids and their pharmacy grade lithium...
I prefer 9-Volt. It's shockingly good.
Do you have lithium 9 volt blocks or do you only get your zinc and manganese from it?
But it's probably important to take care of all your nutritional needs and different 9 volt batteries could provide you with quite some of that.
Clever thinking!
Wait until they cut Medicaid. People are going to be gnawing on rechargeable AA batteries like it’s chewing tobacco. Maybe C or even D batteries if they need more OnlyFans subscriptions to make rent. It’s going to be like when N.O.R.E. found out Doja Cat was in racial chat rooms showing feet. People are going to find out their crazy but hot girlfriend ate whole car batteries for 8chan.
This is the America Ted Cruz wants. Vote for me and I will make sure Doja Cat gets the purest lithium.
what the aneurism did I just read
There was a time when I didn’t know what those words meant either and I strongly encourage blissful ignorance over doing research only to come away more ignorant. Every time you don’t know what something on the Internet means, read a scientific paper or another few pages of Tolstoy or visit a museum. You’ll be a happier, healthier person.
You aren't kidding in the slightest. I started down the path of DOJA cat in racist chats and Jesus fuck that went off the rails real fast.
Alright alright alright, what the fuck are you guys getting into?
Gimme the links
Here's the one that felt like a stroke:
Desus and Mero interviewing David Lettermn is one of the most perfect interviews ever. https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/xnvqVqcIjAlW6JjWbCWqSFiN_BB484EG/
I’m sure it’s on a free service but it’s one of the finest moments in TV history.
I'm so happy, cos today I found this thread
It's in my fed
There’s probably a lot that could be recovered from my urine. Fun fact when phosphorus was first discovered they had to boil off gallons of urine to get a useful amount, so they collected barrels of urine from mining camps.
A recent report from Stanford University in the US, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that recycling lithium-ion batteries is far more environmentally friendly than mining for new materials.
Huh, who knew
This shows how one company (li-cycle) that claims they recycle 95% of the lithium does it: https://youtu.be/s2xrarUWVRQ
99.99% doesn't seem too far-fetched.
When refining a process, it becomes exponentially more difficult and expensive the closer you get to 100% efficiency. 0-95% costs less than 95-99%, which costs less than 99%-99.99%
Unless you find/invent a new procedure that's way more efficient instead of doing more cycles of known procedures.
nice
