Na, we should get rid of that idea completely. If everyone used one time like UTC (other time zones are available) and just align your working hours etc to your location.

Then 14:00 is 14:00 everywhere, just that some are asleep then, others are awake!

That’s always been true of city warfare though. Tanks are not designed for that.

That requires lots of cropland though. Hydrogen can effectively be made by offshore wind farms etc.

It might work if we reduce standard fuel requirements for cars etc enough.

Electricity has been around that long too though, yet there are no serious electric passenger planes (with a decent range)

It has it’s flaws, but it may have a higher ceiling in terms of usefulness. They say they can make it work, which is more than I hear about electric planes for example.

We should be financially encouraging 0 carbon planes, without controlling how, then let the engineers work what tech to do it with.

What are the other 0 carbon flight options? They are all flawed.

We can engineer our way through flaws with enough effort though.

…then there should be regulatory actions to help make them viable

Wait, really?

So you need a visa to transit through the US?

It depends who you are trying to hide from. A VPN will hide your internet traffic from your ISP/phone company, but obviously not from the site you are visiting.

At best you might be one of may people connecting from the same (VPN) IP address, but they can still collect info from your browser/app etc to generate points to ID you if they want.

If you have a 50mb/s connection, surely someone sending you 100mbs of data would fill your line? The firewall is on your router, so the line to it would be maxed?

You can hear to some level, the boats and actions in the vicinity of the cable. So it might provide evidence in case of a break.

It also lets you know if the cable is moving round on the seabed etc, this is useful as it can cause wear.

I seem to remember it being used to check the health of power cables too (they have fibre cables embedded within them)

Their size makes them very hard to turn too, so you can see them a while off, but that doesn’t help if it takes Kms to stop.

It also only helps if there is someone actually looking out of the window…

Oil tanker was likely carrying aviation fuel for the US military (as per the BBC).

Let the conspiracy theories begin! (Does jet fuel melt ships!?!)

This happened not far off the coast. Looks like the oil tanker was at anchor waiting, while the cargo ship ploughed into it.

Oil tankers are not exactly the most nimble of ships, even if it tried to get out of the way.

I might just be bad at it, but all my games ended up being either a boring cake walk, or ridiculously difficult.

Never really got into it.

Reus2 has been most of my deck commuting playtime if I’m honest. Great little game with endless replayability.

Then you are using it for music and pay the full rate.

Ah, I was thinking more of a spinlaunch thing. Yours would make more sense, but would require a fuckton of industry in space or on the moon to have it work. I wonder how much more effective a self contained spinlaunch style thing would be on the moon.

You still need to fire an engine on the far side of your orbit though which makes it more difficult as it still needs to be able to propel itself (while surviving the acceleration)

Look for a square or an X (or a square with an X in it) right Infront of the stop line for the lights. If it’s there, that detects a car waiting.

There may be more of them further up the road to detect more cars waiting/arriving.

They are basically using big loops of wire to detect cars through magmatism.

They tend not to detect cyclists, so I often have to move to the side and wave cars forward so lights on side streets will change.

I consider temperature and fan controls to be safety critical for demisting windows etc for example.
