Seems more like a short term solution unless you have a huge ammo budget.

I think the idea is that you ride the track to extend the range of the drone since train tracks are much more efficient than flying in terms of battery usage.

Was that building on the same technology that was also used to make the Bell H-13 sound like “Suicide is Painless”?

shitty garbled radio

Which is the standard method of communication aviation has somehow agreed on using “for safety reasons”.

Heliskiing would be a lot more interesting if it was a fuel-efficient way to return the helicopter to the airport down in the valley after flying something up to the mountain.

Even pride in your nation can be cringe, depending on how justified that pride actually is.

As a German who was raised long after WW2 let me just say that pretty much all pride in your nation is pretty cringe, no matter how justified. The one exception would be maybe if you had a major part in improving your nation personally.

Königsberg

Or, you know, not that crazy after all if germ can survive that process.

Mainly because people who are anti-immigrant moan about “unbearable” rates of immigration at immigration rates far below 1% of the existing population and have prejudices like the ones in your comment about immigrants being criminals or replacing the local culture or language even at those comparatively low numbers.

That is mainly because the fear of migration tends to sound completely bat shit crazy when put into words, at least at the levels that aren’t related to climate change making large parts of Earth’s warm and dry regions uninhabitable.

That title seems phrased wrong, are you sure you don’t mean something like

True purpose of program claiming to fight climate change in developing nations uncovered: funneling billions of dollars back to rich countries

The concept of sovereign states is generally considered to be established in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Of course the US did not exist at the time but it was a concept established as International Law before it was founded. Of course most treaties of this kind weren’t signed by nearly the same percentage of nations they are today.

Probably closer to 130 years starting with their invasion of Hawaii and then involvement in coups in South America and the Middle East.

Yeah, ideally a way that doesn’t leak out of pretty much anything like hydrogen does.

There’s almost no resale value.

That is not an EV thing, that is a new, rapidly developing technology thing.

Do you think no one involved in any of those projects has realised that it’s not possible to store hydrogen?

You say that as if it is completely ridiculous but have you seen how many companies jumped onto impractical technologies like the hyperloop or self-driving cars or even replacing half their workforce with LLM-based AIs?

Counterpoint, most of the world does not have access to “middle of nowhere” regions with lots of sunlight, that is just Australia and a few places near major deserts.

Tesla isn’t really a major car company in the transitional sense since they didn’t exist at all as a pre-EV car company.

It is not so much that the court says it is suspected of terrorism as that the agency responsible for monitoring that says so and the AfD tried to use the court to get rid of that label and failed.

but we have an oxygen atmosphere not a chlorine one, so it’s gonna be oxygen.

Could also be fluorine but there are other good reasons not to use anything involving that as a fuel

“It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.” ― John Drury Clark, Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants

I think that bit was about Chlorine Trifluoride but I might be misremembering.
