Small cylinder batteries are just called "batteries" in English. If you mean the type that you can charge, we call those "rechargeable batteries". People will infer that you mean the cylinders even though usb batteries are also rechargeable (I'd call that an "internal battery").

I like the sound of accumulator more though. In English that word is usually reserved for hydraulics or electrical engineers

Xi Jinping is a fascist, and I don't think it was liberals that enabled him

I can clearly imagine the response from the Trumpers:

"Biden WANTED to convict his son so he could make it SEEM like the justice system is fair, when really its all RIGGED!!!"

The conspiracy mind is hard to crack, and while I like seeing a fair an impartial system at work I don't think it will actually sway many people who think it's corrupt.

Prom is really not all that special, it's a formal for high-schoolers. I could barely remember mine by the time I finished college

As usual, the algorithmic media machine is trying to drum up anger and emotion because that gets clicks and ad views. There were definitely a few transphobic jokes that I was not okay with, but to say he the special is "filled" with them is a bit much.

Also the quote "I love punching down" was clearly not sincere the way he delivered it. I didn't like the special, but the outrage over it is overblown especially considering that putting it in the news will only get more people watching it.

3 of those 8 were shot down by patriot missiles. I like speculating too, but I would think photos of F16s operating in Ukraine would leak pretty quickly just from excited civilians or air force crew

These are novelty vehicles for the ultra wealthy. "Normal" pickups are already comically large and ripe for mockery, no need to hyperbolize

The word you're looking for is "slide", OP
