- Comment on China's latest flying car prototype showcases a breakthrough in urban air mobility, offering a glimpse into how low-altitude flight could soon integrate with everyday transport. 3 days ago:
25 mins of flight on a charge, and that’s not going to be at max speed , so we’ll ballpark it to 15 miles of range perhaps and that’s assuming no “traffic” or delays on landing. Not terribly practical like pretty much all of these flying car concepts.
Oh, and if anything goes wrong, you’re likely dead.
- Comment on China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech 3 days ago:
Oddly, the DNC’s position on the republican candidate in the circus that was the 2016 primary wasn’t likely all that influential or determinative.
trump figured out that running a political campaign as entertainment and leveraging the power of, well, just lying about everything was possible in the modern media environment. republicans had been working for decades on tilling the ground for an authoritarian that they could manage, but got themselves owned instead. Oops.
- Comment on Microsoft Hooked the Government on Its Products With Freebies. Could Elon Musk’s Starlink Be Doing the Same? 2 weeks ago:
After all of the sketchy contracts that musk seems to be getting under this regime, the next administration should nationalize SpaceX. With their corrupt self dealing, perhaps give him a dollar or so for it.
- Comment on Does not the constitution say something one should not be charged or something to vote? If so then why does my home state charge 50$ to get a regular id to vote? Is that no illegal? 5 weeks ago:
It’s a valid question if you live in a state that will only accept forms of ID which cost money to vote. I don’t know if that’s really the case anywhere, but if it were it could presumably be the subject of a lawsuit.
With the current SC, I expect that they’d find some bogus rationale why it didn’t count, but under a law respecting court, it’d be reasonable to require such states to provide suitable IDs at no cost.
- Comment on If Nintendo went belly up today the retro community would have a field day 5 months ago:
If nintendo went bankrupt, their assets and ip would be bought by some other company, and they’d be the ones bringing the lawyers.
