Wind turbine*

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My 5 year old does this to me every time I say windmill. I love home for it, but it sucks being an old fart.

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What a coincidence, I'm also 5!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I’m a windmill.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Is it pronounced 'wind' or 'wind'?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Actually, it is pronounced 'wind'.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yes.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Technically 'wind' because you have to wind up the wind for the wind turbine to move.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Photo story: The beauty and majesty of the engineering of wind turbines

[–] inverted_deflector@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago

Thanks for a source. This looks cool and interesting but it's nice to have some context(and confirmation this is a windmill)

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Finally! A prosthetic for the Sphinx!

[–] M137@lemm.ee 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I thought Denmark was larger than just one truck, but I guess I was wrong.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah that’s DanMark, it’s a country made up of two guys.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 11 months ago

And oddly, neither of them are named Dan.

[–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

Yo mama so fat she needs a toilet the size of Danmark to take number two.

The avengers wasting tax dollars again on a massive machine that will be destroyed by the villain they created

[–] quinkin@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

New truck hats. Even larger than before.

When your nostril is so clogged that it becomes a heavy haulage.

Is that one of the interstellar fleshlights recovered from a UFO?

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just one truck is needed? How much does that thing weigh?

[–] variaatio@sopuli.xyz 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There possibly is a pushers/braking truck attached to the rear of the Transporter.

Also one must remember on transporter it is about winning over rolling resistance rather than the weight. Doesn't necessarily take that powerfull truck on flat ground to pull even great load.

Also turbine housing has lot of air and as equipment to be lifted to top of a mast, built with light weight in mind. Not for pulling it, but in thought of the crane that has to lift that thing dead load up.
