Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I love my T580, internal and external batteries, quad-core goodness. Many, many years left in it.

All the same, I still hate the US FAA? for limiting laptop batteries to 100Wh, dick move and everyone goes along...

I mean, I don't know if the 100Wh limitation is specifically reasonable, but I've seen lithium battery fires before, and they're pretty exciting. Fires on airplanes are pretty bad news. They probably had to have some kind of cap.

You can carry an additional 100Wh battery or power bank, which I do, so if laptop vendors would actually make laptops with 100Wh batteries, that's 200Wh that can be at least with you, albeit not all internal. And you can carry larger powerstations if you aren't actually flying.

In theory, laptop vendors could do that old Thinkpad route of having batteries that extended outside the case and make them as large as they wanted...you'd just have to fly with a smaller one.
