Here in Finland the Left Alliance increased votes by 10% while True Finns(hard right party) decreased support massively across the whole country. Only one true finn got voted in.

So at least we got that going for us…

This was just part 1 with probably the lowest hanging fruits :)

I see. That does make sense.

Why are we posting jeans?

Weird this line hasnt worked for me yet

Yeah I like jeans

Def generated, the top text in the first panel is gibberish as is the T in “at”.

Well then the air molecules will also impale your whole body

Radiolab has an awesome episode https://radiolab.org/podcast/baby-blue-blood-drive

That phone isnt 6 years old, it was released in 2020. It wasnt $350 either but $800. Weird points youre trying to make…

They used to change the url which the user typed into the address bar to include a referral code. The article mentions going to binance.us, the browser appended a referral link to the url.

That’s scummy as fuck.

This is meant to work with the ActivityPub fediverse ie. Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Pixelfed etc. and you would be able to use your current lemmy.world account for messaging.

Haha not Gundam :) Referring to Attack On Titan with the turning inside out bra’s

So bras were the original source of the titans…

I rocked a Casio F-91W for years, then a Huawei smartwatch a couple years before getting a Garmin Instinct 2.

Design is reminiscent of a casio digital, the display is always on and gets brighter if external light is shone on it, no touchscreen, contactless payment, a charge lasts me about 3 weeks.

320€ is expensive but is exactly what I need from a smartwatch :)

Thanks for the link, cool concept.

There’s so many flaws with a system like this, I can’t imagine how you could make it economical. I’m just gonna list a few that have popped up in my mind over the years

1. Thermal expansion. Steel contracts and expands a lot depending on the temperature, railroads have regular expansion joints to account for this. But having expansion joints which withstand a vacuum in a 500+ km tube in a reliable way would be amazing. Imagine the maintenance cost just for those. Expanding, contracting, shifting left, right, up and down.
2. Maintaining a vacuum. Maintaining a continuous vacuum over 500+ kilometers. There’s gotta be a lot of pumps using a lot of energy, considering it would be impossible to prevent leaks over such a humongous distance.
3. Vacuum failure. With such a large distance, there’s bound to be failures along the hyperloop. The train can probably slow down along these sections, but they would need to be prepared. Reparation means many hours of downtime, for people who chose a vacuum train presumably to save travel time.
4. Capacity. A regular long-distance train can take on hundreds of people, which makes the costs tolerable. All of the concepts show very short vehicles, with maybe a couple seats side-by-side. That’d make the cost/person very high.
5. Embarking/Disembarking. The people have to enter the train somehow, either through pressurizing a very long section, or having very precise door section which the train mounts to.
   • In the case of pressurizing, it would take a long time for pressurize -> passengers move -> depressurize, adding long wait times at the station.
   • In the case of entrance doors, this hampers flexibility. There can’t be longer trains than what the station is designed for, the train design and length must always be the same, and any wear&tear on the train could potentially prohibit making a proper seal with the exit door.
6. Related to the above point, long-distance railroads have many sub-destinations. Imagine having to pressurize->depressurize at every station, when a regular train just has to stop and open the doors.

I believe all of the above points would make a vacuum train economically stupid and impossible.

Just to escape the friction of air?
