A group of Singapore scientists recently invented the world’s first 3D-printed calamari. The edible dish mimics the texture of real calamari and contains even more protein than actual squid. The researchers created it by combining mung beans and microalgae. They later deep-fried the creation to make it appear as close to conventional calamari as possible. The 3D plant-based squid could become a huge alternative in the future

But a lot of people in the comments are saying that this is obvious, and you can always charge devices with other devices . . . like how you can charge your phone or tablet from your laptop.  It also works with watches. Of course, it isn’t always an option.  She had her charging cable, and it was compatable with her friend’s phone.  Some phones don’t even require one . . . you can just lay one on top of the other. Also, you need to make sure the phones play nice . . . and that you’re not agreeing to have anything transferred or synched. But the BIGGEST HURDLE is this:  Unless you’re being VERY devious, your companion needs to AGREE to giving you some of their charge.  Which, might be a bigger ask than you think.
