I remember seeing the figures when that was factored in and no surprise there, biggest western cities had the largest footprint. Not a tankie.

Grand Fromage posted:Mars also seems to have a lighter core than usual, iron-sulfur instead of iron-nickel. And it may not have a solid inner core at all, just a liquid one. There's still a lot of details to figure out, but yeah, Mars is smaller so it cooled faster and shut down the dynamo is the most likely broad explanation. Anton Petrov has had a load of fascinating videos on this, also Earth and plate tectonics and how even small changes in the composition of the material that makes up the planet can change the outcome is crazy. Just the fact that earth has managed to remain habitable for 2-3 billion years while the suns luminosity has changed 30% in that time is incredible. I am pretty sure that life on earth contributed to it's own survival and keeping the system intact. In addition to having just the sweet spot for plate tectonics to occur.

Train bus seems good where you would want a bus but there's heaps of people. Towing three buses with one engine is probably more efficient with modern diesels. It's more flexible than light rail. I love straddling bus though.

That's just a tandem bus. I mean, if it's an improved approach to a tandem bus, sure, good work China, but it's not some kind of fancy super future land train.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:I look forward to seeing this vehicle in the cyberpunk dystopia thread after someone does an adversarial attack by painting a trail of dotted white lines into a cornfield. I've a vague recollection of ppl having a whale of a time with hijacking the control system. I think the conclusion was Sims will piss and poo poo themselves to death in a box with no exit.

Bum the Sad posted:The great thing is that went you point out out blatant facts they can’t deny they just engage in whataboutism. "And you are lynching Negroes" etc. Then when your reply is “Yes that was terrible and my country should feel ashamed and others should learn from it” it breaks their brains and they just start the autistic screeching. This is literally what happened in the AusPol thread. One of the idiots said, "If you say all of those things China is doing is bad, then you have to say what the Australian government is doing to the Aboriginal people is bad." To which I replied, "Yes." and they lost their mind. It's amazing how it always plays out the same. It's like they work off a script.

I have engaged with numerous 50c wolf warriors on reddit and what gets me is the amount of obscure bullshit they'll whatabout at me sometimes. "oh Chinas treatment of uighurs is bad? What about the treatment of native americans in the state of washington in 1875 then?" i always reply with "that is atrocious just like what china is doing, also i am not American and whataboutism is not an argument" and they never reply again and just downvote me to hell. Im 100 percent sure they just have a list of copy pasteable historic atrocities for each country ready to go, but they flounder when they can't figure out which one it is.
