@MrNobre Yeah but even if it just means your phone is at 40% at the end of the day instead of 31% it would be cool. Or maybe I'm vastly underestimating the difference in power needs between a calculator and a phone and it would take like 12 hours of light to charge your phone 1%. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when old calculators were solar-powered? That was a weirdly magical capability for an 80s gadget. Can we bring this back please? So when your phone is sitting on the table during the day it's also charging? https://t.co/nsAXKODCO0 — PolitiTweet.org

.@swilkesphoto compresses time into a single image using a cool technique. To make this one, he took hundreds of photos from the same location in the Serengeti during a 26-hours stretch and then overlaid them into one image. https://t.co/6PjDlCz0wN — PolitiTweet.org

It's kind of like the man-eating beast in the movie Sandlot. Once the kids actually came face-to-face with it, it turned out to just be a random dog. — PolitiTweet.org

Deep in many people's mind is a Denial Prison, where especially unpleasant thoughts are locked away like monsters in a dungeon. But the scariness might be the work of your imagination. When you free them from the prison, you usually find out they're not such a big deal after all. https://t.co/gng7W28FMc — PolitiTweet.org
