I guess this serves as an ad for Lumafield's x-ray machines. I have no use for one but those scans are stunning.

Yes, Lumafield does some of my favorite marketing ever. It adds more (absolute) value to the world than they receive back from it. Their monthly CT scans are some of my favorite small joys: https://www.scanofthemonth.com/ https://www.scanofthemonth.com/ I mean, there's probably very good ROI on this marketing; I'm not saying they're foolish or selfless. Just that it doesn't cost them that much to do, so it's a win-win for everyone.

    It's a liquid.

      Lithium is an (albeit soft) solid at room temp. Im not sure there is risk of it becoming powder in a blender but adding water during the blending process (or at any point) would be the main concern for me.

        Not in those cells. It's a Lithium salt in a solvent.

    Interestingly, I ended up buying a Blendtec blender many years later when I could afford one because of those YouTube videos. They long-since stopped making them when I finally got one.

  It's funny, because this is just a description of content marketing. But most companies forget step 1, which is to make the content interesting.

Blendtec did it remarkably well
