Of course most don’t actually even believe it, that’s just the pitch to get that VC juice. It’s basically fraud all the way down.

You know Republicans have the house, right?

Yet he still managed to overturn Roe, stack the scotus and thousands of judgeships for a generation, and sabotage countless government agencies which has been a nightmare for our rights, environment, and the rule of law. We’re still feeling the repercussions and this time is shaping up to be an order of magnitude worse.

I was about to switch all my windows machines to Linux but then you had to tell me this…

Outrageous lies are what make the news.

Drag everything out in court for four years. SOP

Best case scenario is that he’s using the time to summarize everything in a public report.

People are seriously underestimating just how stupid the Trump voter is. Sure, 10% of them are selfish, racist, misogynist, pieces of shit. The rest are too fucking dumb to accurately describe. These morons not only have fully submitted themselves to the propaganda bubble world they choose to remain in, but they are willing to believe, and do believe, multiple contradicting lies at the same time. They lack the most basic level of reasoning that many pets have. For example, they will believe that Biden doesn’t exist and is actually an actor, Obama is controlling Biden as president, Trump is secretly president already, that Biden is manipulating everything against Trump, and that Biden is too senile to do anything. It’s not that they think some of these conspiracies could be true, they believe all of it at the same time. Even my dog knows that the treat being in one hand means it’s not in the other hand. Even my dog can understand we live in one reality. These people are dumber than fucking rocks.

The ONLY thing I know for certain after this clusterfuck is that Biden would have lost by even more.

Yup, if we learn anything we will definitely have forgotten it in four years.

Yeah let’s blame it on the minorities and women instead of the misogynist, racist, absolute piece of shit white men who voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

Solar panels are incredibly thin and light. There is no reason not to include them.

Lina Khan has probably been the best and most effective bureaucrat in my lifetime.

It’s so blatantly illegal. WTF is scotus smoking?

They still sell physical copies of games? TIL

Batteries have output power capacities as well as storage capacity. For grid-scale applications it’s common to list both. The EIA announcement that this article is referencing only focused on power capacity, which is directly comparable to a traditional power plant. The EIA could have provided some additional information, but the article is technically correct and doesn’t mix units.

I saw old women with straw brooms sweeping the side of the (active) freeway.

Gas engines generally lack the immediate throttle control/thrust response necessary for use in a multicopter. Why didn’t we see gas RC quadcopters before electric ones? My sniff smells ok.

Would you want a centralized gas engine powering your 4+ rotors causing them all to fail at once or would you like the complexity of 4+ separate ICE engines trying to work in concert with precise torque output?

The lack of imagination in this post is astounding. In this wall of gibberish you only really made three points: range, excess range, and noise.

Range: evtols are not trying to replace GA aircraft, at least initially. They will start out as air taxis and toys for the ultra rich, but most people dramatically underestimate the rate at which battery technology is improving. Being able to travel 100 miles in 30 minutes without spending an hour on each end dealing with the airport is something unavailable today.

Minimum fuel requirements: rules are meant to serve us, not be handed down from on high. If this does apply to evtols it will be changed. It’s a completely different use case. For example the emergency landing options for an evtol are vastly more available than for a Cessna.

Noise: I mean, agreed overall if not in detail. Realistically these things are going to be quieter than a traditional helicopter for sure, but will be higher pitch and swarming around in greater numbers. Annoying AF.

Ahh Reggie, I hear yer quite the man aboot toon
