Lithium fires caused by dodgy chargers and gadgets are no joke.
In the case of the dive boat – et al, FOLKS WHO IGNORE SPARKS WHEN THEY PLUG IN THEIR DODGY EQUIPMENT are no joke.

Along those lines, there’s been a spike in strep throat cases over the last couple of years, and at least one doctor thinks people sharing vapes is partly to blame. We learned absolutely nothing during the pandemic. Why would anyone share a device that you put in your mouth and inhale from?!?!

My cousin’s best friend’s daughter’s stepmom’s niece’s babysitter’s brother was killed when a seat belt cut him in half. He would have survived if he hadn’t been wearing it. Joe Rogan says Big Belt just wants to kill everyone.

The worst part is that good lithium-ion cells from reputable manufacturers aren’t really that much more expensive, and neither is a decent charger. Certainly a lot less than you’ll lose in even a small fire.
