Fly by wire would be a terrible design for a car, I've seen people driving on space saver tires or with taped up windows for months. If people already just ignore warning lights until something physically stops them from driving then at least having a physical steering column means there's still control after the power steering fails so that they don't go straight on into oncoming traffic.
On your other point about still using the same control systems as a model T, modern cars don't. Hydraulic steering came around in the 50s and almost all modern cars have electric power steering, the model T had completely unassisted rack and pinion steering. I can't find any definite answer on what the last car without any hydraulic steering was but I'd definitely like to find out if anyone knows.
It's the last ocean liner in existence and it's more efficient than a cruise ship but yeah it's still pretty fuel hungry. There aren't any commercial sailing ships left anymore though even in a cargo capacity, companies don't run them because their speed is so inconsistent that they can't run on a regular schedule.
They always seem so chill in photos but I've worked with them and they're one of the most skittish animals I've dealt with, the tapir they lived with was always wanting scratches though
I was thinking of something for an A2 size poster but I'm not sure if that would be too big to send without it being compressed anyway, I might try upscaling it myself but thanks for the offerm
Is there any way to get high res versions of these? Every year I see a poster that I really want to have a physical copy of but they're always too compressed to use
Tbf other countries were starting to build up prior to the start of ww2, it's not like they suddenly started the war effort in 1939. Afaik the only reason the war didn't start when other countries were annexed is because Britain and France wanted to build up their armies first and Poland just became the breaking point.
Ngl I'm kinda surprised by how many people use the main feed, when I first joined lemmy I just looked up some communities that I was interested in and set my default feed to subscribed only, the only memes I see regularly are from an RPG meme community.
None of that it was just one of the Easter sermons and they were telling a story about jesus, the way they said he always referred to himself as god just felt like it was some sort of heavens gate situation
Yes but she doesn't go to church often, she convinced me to come with once and it took me from being an atheist who isn't opposed to Christianity to being fully convinced that it's just a worldwide cult
I was talking about instance level stuff, for example I'm on Lemm.ee but I can still interact with lemmy.world, but yeah there isn't much difference on the community level other than communities being able to have the same name if they're on different servers
It's different from Reddit because if you don't like the way your instance is moderated you can just use another instance and still see content from another
