Thanks. I hate how seeing pictures like this now just makes me suspicious immediately.

I think Windows 7 solitaire had an option where you could only get solvable games. Personally i like it when you don't know if it can be solved - part of the puzzle for me.
"The process starts with old batteries being separated and burned to strip away non-metal components. What's left gets crushed into something called black mass. This is essentially a powder packed with recoverable metals. From there, a water-based chemical treatment called hydrometallurgy pulls the lithium out. One clever distinction in this new process is that the recovered lithium hydroxide actually replaces a chemical traditionally used during refining. This cuts the carbon footprint by about 40% compared to older methods."
Article also said that previous methods got about 45% of the lithium from recycling.
