Because they're powered by wind which is the result of the sun? Thats a silly technicality

Nope, because they're powered by fusion reactors inside the ship. The columns are Flettner rotors, which take advantage of the Magnus effect to generate forward thrust from air passing around rotating pillars. The energy cost to power the rotors is much smaller than the cost to power the ship directly, and the rotors can generate thrust from even a very small amount of wind. (It does require wind, which means that - unlike most modern ships - a Flettner ship can become becalmed, but IIRC they've got reserve propellers to handle that.)

Everything in the universe is technically fusion powered.

Well.

The metals in the core of the earth are *formed* by fusion yes. But heavy metals don't release energy when you fuse them, they cost energy.

But currently they release heat through nuclear decay, which is the Weak Nuclear Force, instead of the Strong Nuclear Force that powers fusion.

So geothermal is technically not fusion powered.

On a long enough time scale, all of existence is carbon neutral, yes.

gently caress. It was mind blowing to me to see someobe learn not just that many languages but that many obscure languages. Like how would you even learn conversational Assyrian or Kurdish let alone be fluent?

Also was he a goon? Just remember him using the phrase gently caress.

E: just rewatched one of his videos and tbh, he seems mostly to have nailed down stock phrases. Still impressive though.

Yeah, he definitely focused more on quantity rather than quality for most of his languages (except Mandarin and Cantonese, but it's impossible to teach yourself dozens of languages and be amazing in all of them) but it was awesome watching him go round a mall, see some Indian people and start talking to them in Hini, see a Vietnamese guy and start talking in Vietnamese, then be told his girlfriend is Cambodian and switch to Khmer

Kurdish is a pretty strong language (or languages) spoken by lots of people though? Also it gets progressively easier to learn new languages, all the historical linguists I went to university spoke at least 4 dead languages and 6 living.

I can't stand those Girls vs Boys memes. Every single one is about how silly and trivial those girls are, not like us epic chad boys, amiright? And the fact that people are using the "correct boy" picture that fascists came up with only makes me hate them more. Am I the only one who feels this way?
