Teen’s invention could charge your phone in 20 seconds
(Photo: Intel)
Waiting hours for a cellphone to charge may become a thing of the past, thanks to an 18-year-old high-school student’s invention. She won a $50,000 prize Friday at an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds.
Everybody, remember this face.
Remember this name.
If this becomes a commonly used & highly lauded discovery, at some point a White guy is going to take credit, even if he has to word it like “Improved upon a previous…”
No no no
Fuck that guy.
Remember this brown girl.

tips for crying
- let yourself cry
- drink plenty of water or you might get a headache and the cry will feel more like a punishment than a catharsis
- if you wipe away tears before they can fall down your cheeks maybe think about that. your tears are not an inconvenience you do not need to minimize them.
- let yourself cry

This list does not include Jackie Brown or Grindhouse, due to those not being solely Tarantino.Reservoir Dogs
