<p>As someone with a self proclaimed fetish I have to ask if you have ever tried working with the material? I find even the most basic manipulation to be wild compared to other common metals.<p>I was sanding and polishing a long handled titanium spoon to make it more smooth (slowly) by hand and the friction from that quickly made it too hot to hold. It's thermal conductivity is 1/10th of aluminum and roughly 1/2 of stainless steel.<p>Another fun thing is to anodize it to different colors. Compared to aluminum it can be achieved without the use of caustic chemicals.</p>

<p>One downside is it would motivate companies to get intellectual property registered under a trademark with indefinite protection rather than copyright. Even with our current lifetime + 70 year protection we have companies like Disney getting characters registered as a trademark.</p>

<p>Calculators are large enough that it should be possible to fit AAA or AA sized batteries, even possibly a 18650. They're lower power enough that a CR3202 lasts a long enough time but it always ends up dying at the most inconvenient time and they're really the only device I have that needs CR3202.</p>

<p>Places in California has this problem too. Installing solar panels today could result in a larger electricity bill than not having them.<p>Getting solar panels forces you onto a plan in which they charge more per kwh pulled from the grid. The surplus electricity is only credited at the generation cost which is only 1/4 the total cost per kwh. (Delivery costs is 3x the price of electricity).<p>So if you want to go solar to save money you need both batteries and solar panels which is not an insignificant amount of money.</p>

<p>I live in the 3rd "wealthiest" county in the United States. The combined market cap of headquartered companies here total over 10 trillion dollars. I can't install solar panels and I can't be bothered to buy house batteries so I've only had power 98.6% of the time last year.<p>I've lost hope. In theory it can be done but it feels something on the same order as setting foot on the moon again. We have the technology and capability to do so but somehow our population collective decision results in keep things garabge.</p>

<p>I had foolishly given them the benefit of the doubt and after poking around their entire damn website site and I now hate them. I couldn't find a nutrition label but buried in text was information I need.<p>"4-5 grams of protein per 100 gram serving"
"fats derived from canola, sunflower seeds, and algae"<p>Real Coho Salmon is about 20% protein and 7% fat so we're looking at less than 20% of the important parts being salmon. I retract my previous comment. It's not Salmon.<p>I believe the FDA defines a minimum of 40% of a meat product to be made of that meat to be labeled as that meat (eg. beef hotdogs needs to be made of 40% beef) and I'm not sure if this qualifies as that.<p>As a benchmark, the tuna used in a Subway tuna sandwich is 100% tuna, the beef in Taco Bell beef tacos is 88% beef, and the chicken in McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is 100% chicken but make up 45% of the nugget.</p>
