  • The cat is happy to go outside. It’s their natural behaviour. Doesn’t mean I approve but don’t spin this as being neglectful.

  • If there isn’t a no parking area, you can park there. I don’t really see what you mean with that being a trend. People just follow road regulations.

  • Isn’t that something people do? In Germany many people flash their high beams if there is police, speed trap or danger.

  • Regarding point 1, in New England at least you can visit half of Europe within a few hours of driving if you go by town names.

  • Thx, as I understand it, this is calculated for traditional railway technology and does not have anything to do with to maglev.

  • The problem is the high pressure environment outside the low pressure environment

  • The direction of pressure difference is important

  • Still means 0.5 bar overpressure if something breaks, which is deadly. Also the proposed pressure for the Hyperloop was 0.1 atmospheres iirc. If there is a weakness in the tube it will fail catastrophically and a pressure wave kills anyone in it. Watch the video where the mythbusters implode that huge tank.

    You basically bring a lot of the problems with space travel down to earth.

  • There may be fewer moving parts but that does not necessarily mean cheaper/less repairs. Current railway parts (especially wheels) are fairly low tech and easily fixed. What if the cooling of a superconducting magnet fails? That’s expensive.

  • Is that factoring in the always on cooling of the magnets?

  • Also them just being wheels in general which are one of the most efficient and simple ways to move stuff.

  • Is that assuming there will not be major repairs?

  • You mean that hyper idiotic Hyperloop idea that’s just a warmed up remix of the vacuum train idea from the 1920s and will efficiently kill all passengers if a little thing goes wrong (if you can get a hundreds of kilometres long vacuum chamber airtight anyway)?

  • Still cheaper than maglev rails I’d guess.

  • Dude, without capitalism we’d be living in flying maglev RVs on mars with free robot labour bro

  • Oh that’s nice. Are many YouTubers cross posting there?

  • Just not pronounced “rickter”

  • Are those actually hosting videos or just accessing YouTube? Because for the latter, most people still want the algorithm and the interaction/support to the creators they follow

  • Well, if a nuke actually hits anything built to withstand nuclear war, it will break. There is nothing really that can withstand direct exposure to powerful explosives.
