A nit to pick: the batteries are different; it is the cells that are the same.

No - Archer is produced in Atlanta, Arrow is filmed in Vancouver.

Thanks for the link, I was envisioning such a system and was wondering about its practicality.

According to the article, charging time is 7.5 to 10 minutes. Not a lot more than your 5 minute swap, and a lot less infrastructure!

NDAs are simply a promise not to divulge a secret, typically signed by an employee or contractor who needs the info in order to do their job. They have nothing to do with consumer sales ("...the sale or lease of consumer goods or services..."), which this bill expressly targets.

Let's sincerely hope that "it sucks moose balls" is not, in fact, actually revealing the recipe.

"Pursuit of happiness" is from the Declaration of Independence - it is not a Constitutional right.

5. Handles are built into each of the corners. Easier to carry (or tip forward, for connector access) than a typical box.

Check out this video of a guy using a pressure washer to form an expansion chamber.

I have three Model Ms to my name, and they'll have Charlton Heston's guns before they'll have my Model Ms. And I've been using the Kensington Expert Mouse (a cue ball sized trackball) for decades - have three now, wouldn't give them up.

Read the article - creating a circle could be done, but would result in more damage to the roads.

The editors were being classically accurate. The use of "begs the question" as a synonym for "raises the question" may be common today, but is technically wrong - "begging the question" is a term used to describe a logically defective argument (google it.)

According to the article, the use of strapped on rounded sections (another prevailing theory) would concentrate the weight into a thin line, which would tear up the roads. Not that it couldn't be done, but it would require high road maintenance. in contrast, this design could be rolled over unimproved surfaces.

Fancy clock numbers.

I've never used them, but my understanding is that the biggest gripe is that they are not only slower than the combined times for separate machines, but you also lose the ability to overlap loads. They are front loaders, so the two jobs aren't that different - they just need to add the hot air system to the washer. They save a bit of space, but a stacker isn't much larger - I think their main benefit is the convenience factor.
