"Listen, [to] maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?"

If their UX improvements don’t include moving either the “Leave” meeting button away from the “Share screen” button, then it’s all a wash.

Dead batteries will de-magnetize your credit cards and give your psycho ex your current phone number.

I had hopes for UK’s SABRE engine, but that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. And by the time it could be operational, rocket companies like SpaceX, might get to the point where they can carry individuals.

What is the highest speed reached by the prototype, and how long were they able to sustain it? Can the prototype go hypersonic, land, turn around and fly again?

Peoples minds can go to some strange and dark places. Look at the parent who offs their kids to protect them from some wacky Q shit.

China without a doubt views the United States as their #1 enemy.

Just look at their plans to take over the western pacific. The United States is the only thing in China’s way of fucking with international shipping lanes

You’re right, I was misremembering the transition as less chaotic than it actually was.

Good luck on court 😂

That quote says it’s a prototype. Better than completely theoretical, but still a bit theoretical compared to the claim. And still a theoretical future economy. And still crazy expensive.

These are people working at retail stores

It's equivalent to working at a Starbucks

That wasn't the case not long ago. Coal was as much as 50% of the total 15 years ago and it's now completely crashed.

>Destinus’ Eiger Prototype which conducted its maiden flight on April 13th, 2022

>Destinus has been testing its prototype aircraft for the past couple of years, announcing successful test flights of its second prototype - Eiger - at the end of 2022.

Maybe you should read more than just the title.

>85% or the stuff that isn't thirst traps/onlyfans promotion is straight up misinformation

That's the internet. Have you seen the Drudge Report within the last decade? Or The Blaze?

They're slamming one company for something that's very common throughout the internet.

And the tool they're using to do so is WILDLY broad.

Also, cake.

No wait, that’s revolutions.

Everything is better than coal. Coal is the dirtiest, most polluting way to generate energy that exists.

Sounds about right.

It's a theoretical design based on a theoretical concept based on a theoretical future economy and a possible (in theory) public demand for such an outrageously expensive flight.

But (in theory) it will seat up to ten billionaires. But then their people will have to slum it on regular service along with the bags.

I love the image Apple has crafted for itself but you don't get to be the wealthiest corporation in the world without doing terrible things.

I don't know if you've ever used TikTok, but 85% or the stuff that isn't thirst traps/onlyfans promotion is straight up misinformation. Even if it isn't Chinese instigated, TikTok is by far the scariest platform I've ever seen (worse than Facebook imo)

Almost nobody makes good CEOs, particularly people who can get the job. Founders often can't cope with how the job changes as a company matures (and/or can't speak without putting their foots in their mouths), and "credible to a board of directors" seems to be more correlated with vocalizing the corporate bullshit hidden Markov model than actual sense.

Works for me?

No mention of payload potential…why?

> My argument is the whole idea of "take it slow" would've been fine 2 decades ago. We past that point. We need drastic changes on the level of WW2 now.

I think you are mistaking my comment. It wasn't meant as we are doing enough. Only that we are not "just" adding more energy ontop of old fossil fuel burning. There is change going on and denying that won't help you to figure out, what needs to be done, and what has to be sped up to help the transitioning effectively.
