Good thing it's stern. I don't think they'll stop otherwise.

Don't know much mythology. Do Thunderbird and Firefox count?

Edit. Just realized those aren't version codenames.

The electrons can not be stored stationary floating in the vacuum of the bottle. They will immediately attach to the internal surface. The entire bottle is now negatively charged and will accumulate positive charge on the external surface until it is electrically neutral. Now you have a funny looking capacitor with extra steps.

The closest thing in existence are the magnetic bottles used for different fusion reactor designs and particle accelerators. In these, the charged particles are kept moving in a closed loop contained by electromagnets that contiously adjust to keep the system pseudo-stable. These certainly cant store energy.

This business of partisan redistricting and the judiciary telling states how many majority-minority district states need to have is unsustainable. We need a total overhaul. I think a single statewide multimember district with ranked choice voting would be ideal, and solve all of these issues in one swoop. A handful of multimember districts per state, like the Fair Representation Act proposes, would be acceptable too.
