Much easier/cheaper to maintain on farmland. Just stop growing stuff for biofuel. (Or grow crops underneath!

A lawnmower literally has spinning blades on it! Don’t operate while drunk!

Shhhh 😆

Ale Elementals (Alementals)!

There is a Drunken Master Monk so powerful that they are weakening the barriers between the material plain and an outer plain of booze.

This manifests as inebriated Alementals appearing in brewery’s and distillers and causing havoc before dispersing back to their home plane.

…

Less sinister, but potentially hilarious. (Cause could be changed if you wanted something more sinister)

Train stations require train lines between them, that’s the crux of the issue.

There is research into electric/hydrogen planes.

It’s rare to replace a car with a bike though. You replace journeys instead, so end up with a lot of the fixed(ish) costs anyway.

Saves me loads on my commute though.

True, but more competitors should mean the max price they can charge is lower. (Assuming no collusion/buyouts)

I just ran their docker compose and it worked out of the box

Remember BACKUPS!

There is actually a rocket that does this (the Electron). Uses batteries to power the fuel pumps, drops them as it goes up.

Weight. As you burn down fuel, the plane gets lighter, so requires less fuel/energy for the remaining distance.

With a battery powered plane, the battery is just as heavy all the time. It also has less energy density. This means wayyy less range with current tech.

It’s a numbers game on rocket reliability. You pay slightly more for your launch, but if it goes bang, you get a big cheque from the insurance.

For the known launchers, their reliability is pretty known, and newer (or recently exploded) launchers often give cheap/free launches while they are effectively testing things - helps make up for the pricy insurance.

There was another story recently where someone got sexualy assaulted because they gave some random person their room key.

Continuation from that I assume.

I have given up with beans, the deer always eat them ☹️

Need to move somewhere where I can get a fence!

Space insurance exists.

Backblaze is way cheaper than most ‘standard’ cloud storage though?

When you said ‘paid’ I was thinking £5, not £50 (for the basic version!)

The idea is that they can keep you for life if you are never safe to release.

Needs mushrooms still I think. Or fried tomatoes, or black pudding if you are feeling fancy.

£ - pound.

# - hash.

As far as I’m concerned (30s, UK) is always been that?
