>That warning is because of what happens if you crush a phone (it’s a battery fire)
Interesting - I assumed the warning was to keep you from annoying the shit out of your seatmates/the flight attendants trying to get it lol.

Reply to comment by Banea-Vaedr in Which is better day trip for this time of year - Cape Cod or mountain climb in the Whites? by kohlrabi_codex
Winter in the whites is serious business. It might not feel like full blown winter yet, but weather changes fast in the mountains and it will be cold enough that surviving the night if you’re stuck out without proper gear is unlikely. A hiker just died a few weeks ago.
OP - please don’t go causally hike in the whites if you don’t have winter hiking experience. If you do go, make sure someone knows where you’re going and when you’ll be back.

Yep - I live in queens near the east river and we barely even get frost. I can find flowers blooming in parks until mid December and they start up again at the end of February. The suburbs outside of the heat island and away from the water are much colder.

>automatic headlights, even my 20 year old car has them.
I had a 2012 that didn’t have them. I think it’s pretty common on the lowest trim package so they can upsell you.
