the use of towels as a territorial marker

alas, the fr*nch invented the bicycle, germans merely invented the dandyhorse.

I think the otto & diesel cycles are a better claim than the automobile, given there are like 100 different competing “first automobiles” to chose from

They hate us cuz they ain’t us

Would there still be oil under russian soil after nuclear war?

the gap doesn’t seem massive, couldn’t this just be importance of owning a car by “stage of life?” obviously people with kids, jobs, no knees etc… need cars more than uni students.

what if my boss is a mere hectomillionaire?

You can get space anyway, Lonnie’s death literally could’ve been prevented with a $20 ratchet strap. Workplace safety is not an obstacle to competitive industry, it’s just an inexplicable pet peeve of Elons

You actually can’t ‘just all retool the factories’. The mining of certain materials, notably copper, becomes a limiting factor. To produce the worlds 100,000,000 motor vehicles per annum (given a generous assumption of 50kg of copper per electric vehicle) would require 5 million additional tons per year, a 20-25% increase over current figures. Meanwhile the cost of refining increases exponentially with decreasing ore grade.

Sure not every manufacturer would go out of buisness, but the industry would absolutely collapse.

I kind of disagree on ‘just as terrible’ noise/space sure, but not being able to smell the petrol is such a biggie for me.

I think you have excessive confidence in the cyber security of old institutions.

But also: Is this not NCD? I absolutely want tech-bros running the MIC. I want the next generation of supercarriers to be the Starship to Gerald R. Fords, SLS we are NATO, we can sacrafice a little bit of short-term military readiness in exchange for doing cool shit again.

The news of KSP 2’s death has got me playing KSP [1] for the first time in years. It’s still abyssmally optimised, but nonetheless fun as ever!

ok but here me out: symbiotes are famously in short supply on trill, they gotta repopulate somehow.

Hot

The CIA isn’t acting in the interest of the united states either, but still here we are
