That’s fair.

I still think some capacitors or a rechargeable coin cell + a solar cell to keep either one charged would be better.

I can’t see how it would be cost prohibitive to put a solar cell in a remote that comes with a tv worth several hundred dollars, but not in a 10$ calculator.

Adding Solar to More Devices

I never understood why this wasn’t more common already. Most calculators I’ve run into are solar powered; but I’ve almost never seen tv remotes, timers, thermometers/humidity meters, or other similar devices with solar cells powering them.

Why not? Seems like an obvious solution…

The cotton candy in the attic is unfortunately not the best for you I’d say, as appetizing as it may look. I am however not a doctor; could very well be the secret to a long and prosperous life. I’m sure you’re just coughing up the extra blood you don’t need anymore.

The word ‘excess’ seems unnecessary…

I’d argue any amount of fiberglass found in sealife is excessive. It’s not exactly a natural material.

They’re often pretty quiet too.

Get an automatic/self-driving one, and you can just watch your vegetation be mutilated instead of doing it yourself.
