Batteries are far heavier. There's going to be as many motors are there are propellers, it really doesn't make sense to do otherwise.

Because it’s electric?

No, because it has magnets.

Trump is notoriously afraid of magnets. It upsets him that they would put a magnet on something that's supposed to float on the sea, and he worries about them sinking with the magnets still on them. I read through one of his rants on the topic, verbatim. The guy is stupid. Very stupid indeed. And senile.

Well, in particular, my Mum was cremated as per her wishes, and that's what my Dad plans too, but I don't begrudge the coffin or the cars - none of us were in a fit state to drive and we weren't about to shove her in the incinerator in a body bag out from someone's boot. I don't know what else you wanted us to do instead. She has a little stone in the kerb lining the path to the crematorium, because we didn't want there to be nothing physical left after we scattered her ashes. The funeral directors were very good at their job, very useful to have around, and a great help on a difficult day. All your contempt for having a ceremony and making an event out of it, by contrast, not so helpful. If you ever meet anyone on real life who's grieving, please don't talk to them like you vent online.

Everyone gets together for an event that's seen as important, comforting things are said, then everyone goes and eats together and tells each other stories about the person they lost. Seems like a great way to go about it to me.

I heard a bunch of right wing criticism of The Force Awakens, and it was mainly "A WOMAN AND A BLACK MAN? HOW CAN I EVEN CONCENTRATE ON THE FILM WHEN THEY'RE INSULTING ME WITH A BLACK MAN AND A WOMAN, IT'S SO FALSE AND FAKE."

So yeah, pretty racist and misogynist.

Rust isn't a functional programming language. Like many modern languages it has some concepts and features borrowed from functional programming languages, but fundamentally its an imperative language, not a functional one.

Very pretty

Manifesto

I mostly find that people have said things under the things I had previously said. How do you normally come across that stuff? Oh, wait, you read those but not the dms? I don't get very many dms. Just if someone is extra specially cross with me and wants to get very personal and abusive but knows that will get called out by others if they put it as part of the argument.

Great article, part of a series of great articles.

I think you have oversimplified somewhat.

You don't think Israel has a teensy bit put by for a rainy day? I do. You don't think Israel has a domestic arms industry? I think they export a great deal. You don't think there are other suppliers than the USA willing to sell arms to an aggressor? I do. You don't think electing trump is the worst thing America could have done for the people of Gaza? I do.
