Reply to comment by clearedtopush in Moving to Greenview Village in June. Anything I should know about the apartment and the city? How is the water quality and crime rate in that area?… - Greetings from Utah by clearedtopush
Since no one has given you a legitimate answer, June could be anywhere from 60’s to low 100’s, but average is probably high 70’s-low 80’s

Lots of R&D in the battery tech sector ongoing; what you say is true currently but absolutely will not be the case forever.
And if we're talking about environmental impact, Li mining vs. fossil fuels is a very silly argument considering the ongoing climate change trends. Best to keep our planet habitable in the short term and worry about lithium reserves and recycling down the road. Just one more can to kick.

So you're one of those fools who believes that the lights turn off when the sun goes down huh? Never heard of batteries before?

Reply to comment by Krail in when a limb gets amputated, how do they stop the flow of blood? by EnchantedCatto
Capillaries are everywhere. It's the end point of the circulatory system everywhere, so there are beds of capillaries in basically any living tissue.
Probably the most well-known tissue with poor/limited blood supply is tendons/ligaments - these are connective tissues with a lot of intracellular matrix made up of collagen, and blood supply to these tissues is poor the further you get from the source blood vessel as there is often very little collateral circulation (what it's called when an area has multiple arteries that feed the capillary beds).

The blood cells don't actually leave the capillaries if everything is going fine. The capillary bed is basically a mesh of VERY tiny blood vessels - picture two sets of tree roots with the bottom portion of the roots aiming towards each other and connected - arteries (tree trunk on the left of your mental image) diverge into smaller arterioles which diverge more into capillaries.. which merge back together into venules, which merge into veins (tree trunk on the right).
When the blood is moving through the capillaries, exchange of oxygen and nutrients is able to occur through small pores in the cells (or straight across the cells in some cases). The blood cells don't leave the circulation, but the plasma that they float around in can move back and forth through the tiny gaps.
Here's a good picture to describe the mental image I'm trying to verbalize above.

Ehhhh they do look pretty similar to bones in my experience, at least in color. Shape is obviously unique and they are shinier than bones.
