Presumptuous, smug, know it all, clickbait titles still didn’t die?
Fuck me, if I were in America and had to read toss like that, I’d probably think the population of ‘scientific’ americans contains a larger than normal proportion of cunts.
Agreed, It’d be interesting to see the cost breakdowns.
I guess you have to spend more on tracks to get higher speeds, but still to get to 600kph you must put a lot of electricity into that thing.
If sort of feels like maglev should be able recover a decent amount of electricity during braking, but maybe there are practical constraints - or just too much loss to wind resistance.
Maybe it comes down to just a handful of magnets round a few axles being cheaper than a long line of magnets the length of the track.
i like the use of “derailed” instead of “never got off the ground” in the headline.
I’d think funding is important…
If you’re getting paid to do it, commissioned directly, or funded by a patron; you’re an insider.
If you’re doing it without promise of pay, and just hoping to sell it afterwards (or not) you’re an outsider.
Put another way, professional / tradesperson vs amateur.
The point is pretty much exactly what you said. It doesn’t really matter what letters you put any where in any word in English; people will pronounce it however they like anyway. And then there will always be some opinionated arrogant contrary fucker - that’s the role that I decided to play in this case - will accuse everyone else of speaking wrong.
Personally, I see and sometimes hear a a difference between ‘sk’ and ‘sch’. Just like I enjoy pronouncing both r’s in ‘February’ unlike most people. I think ‘color’ should be pronounced differently from ‘colour’ too, and ‘meter’ is different from ‘metre’ . And don’t get me started on the difference between ‘a’ and ‘ar’. But all of that is just pettifoggery .
People are going to say it the way they say it anyway. Listen to how most Scots pronounce ‘where’, ‘what’ etc.; it’s been many hundreds of years since the letters were switched, but most Scots still pronounce it much more like the old spellings ‘hwer’, hwat’ and so on.
So add whatever letters you like, say it however you like, because everyone else will keep on doing whatever fits their culture irrespective of spelling.
Yes Corporate Social Responsibility reports, ftw! /s
Yes.
I can only definitively answer on the second part, but i’ll take a gamble on the whole thing.
Don’t hammer whilst on drugs kids.
It can be a gateway to ridiculous trousers.
I’m no expert but maybe also need some more larger particles in the mix. Is this just cement and sharp sand?
At work when no one wants to pick up a task, I issue the “slopey shoulders” award.
Are you suggesting “professional gamer” is not a real/worthwhile job?
Man, if i could get a patent on offending people . . . money, money money, win win win.
Birds are just dinosaurs after Steam blocked most of the adult content.
I assume they have MS dev accounts to help with stuff like building compatibility with microdick file formats.
It’d be more emphatic if you wrote that in another language. For that type of expression the French are usually fairly adept. “Anglaise? Je deteste la pute stupide!”
Disclaimer: I don’t speak French, so probably don’t actually say that to a real French speaker.
Who tf pronounces skism like that?! Sch is longer and a bit softer than a sk sound. I guess we’re back around to Febuary again .
Is marriage just mutual public rickrolling?
