Tesla burns, and burns again, and then once again.

Yep, once lithium catches fire, it's almost impossible to put out.  Water, CO2 extinguishers and even foam doesn't seem to work.  Since the batteries are Li-MnO2 so the oxygen is already there and not supplied by air.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

New technology.  Always dicey.

Let's face it, boiler explosions at the beginning of the steam age killed people until we finally invented popoff valves and learned how to build boilers that didn't explode, but just developed bigger and bigger leaks until the pressure was gone.

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?
