Does it need AAA batteries or does it recharge on AC?

I agree, but I didn't think that was the point being made.

What point do you see as being made?

"The Universe, as has been observed before, is an unsettlingly big
place, a fact which for the sake of a quiet life most people tend
to ignore.

Many would happily move to somewhere rather smaller of their own
devising, and this is what most beings in fact do.

For instance, in one corner of the Eastern Galactic Arm lies the
large forest planet Oglaroon, the entire "intelligent" population
of which lives permanently in one fairly small and crowded nut
tree. In which tree they are born, live, fall in love, carve tiny
speculative articles in the bark on the meaning of life, the
futility of death and the importance of birth control, fight a
few extremely minor wars, and eventually die strapped to the
underside of some of the less accessible outer branches.

In fact the only Oglaroonians who ever leave their tree are those
who are hurled out of it for the heinous crime of wondering
whether any of the other trees might be capable of supporting
life at all, or indeed whether the other trees are anything other
than illusions brought on by eating too many Oglanuts.

Exotic though this behaviour may seem, there is no life form in
the Galaxy which is not in some way guilty of the same thing,
which is why the Total Perspective Vortex is as horrific as it
is."

Did you write this? It would be a good illustration if it weren't sci-fi........ [tic].
