Giz writers don't extinguish between the two.

Phht - I have that, AND I carry powdered water with me. Just add the powdered water to the powdered soda, and there you are!

Could you please elaborate on those 'virtual cards'? That sounds interesting.

Ain't y'a bit too smart here, knowing stuff nobody told ye to know...?

So - where do all those batteries go when they're depleted (after the eons)? To the landfill? Hmm. Maybe it's convenient, but not very sustainable.
