    I believe they have been used in pacemakers, for example. They are becoming practical for more applications over time and are seemingly on the verge of appearing in consumer electronics. We shall see.

    RTGs also do not use water. I suppose the watch batteries are essentially just tiny RTGs.

    Conceivably you could use bimetallic strips to produce mechanical energy from the heat generation.

    … said every slave owner. You have an interest in believing that. This is a social animal (ie an intelligent animal like us) that was created explicitly to have its interests ignored and overridden. If it is a rescue, it has suffered because it has been treated as property from before it was born. No sanctuary can give it the life its ancestors were selected for. It will never be able to advance its own interests as a free creature. Would you rather be able to pick your own mate, career, friends, raise your own children, suffer on their behalf, or would you rather live your life in a 2 star hotel room with none of that autonomy?

    The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. This animal is clearly suffering emotional neglect. THAT WAS YOUR ENTIRE POINT, was it not??

    Stephen Hawking did post to Twitter. He used Twitter to communicate about science, the future of humanity, and important causes like climate change. One of his first tweets was in 2014 when he used the platform to raise awareness about ALS, the disease he had lived with for decades. While not prolific on Twitter, the posts reflected his passion for science, space exploration, and human progress.

    At least, according to ChatGPT.
