Laughs in good public transit(rail based is based, but buses are good too), where it can achieve 10~100x the capacity in the same footprint

With rail, as long as you have a good timetable and a robust signaling system, 27tpdph with multiple service patterns is achievable, and >33tpdph if you run just one service pattern, all while having a top speed of 120km/h and an average speed of >50km/h

Railway in general (excluding Line-of-sight based light rail and trams) can move stupendous amounts of people at full speed really quickly due to signaling and mass transit inherently being more efficient in general

Imagine having no good public transport

Try to use "request desktop site", stuff may be sized weirdly, but at least you don't get that stupid pop up anymore

You can use liquified hydrogen which need to be chilled and insulated, and will evaporate away in a short time if not properly sealed

Or you use compressed hydrogen which means you are basically carrying an IED that weighs several hundred kilograms with the amount of pressure inside the gas tank

And hydrogen combustion is as others have said, inefficient.

Another issue is that you also need to use basically pure oxygen if you want to use a hydrogen fuel cell, otherwise the catalyst inside the cell would get poisoned

And well, there is a car that did all that, the Toyota Mirai, but that also pretty much ended in commercial failure, due to lack of hydrogen filling infrastructure and a whole load of other reasons.

Well, even though gastric acid(mostly hydrochloric acid) in our stomach does have a relatively low pH, it is very diluted, so in practice it just kills germs and stuff and won't obliterate everything going inside you

It is both, but the pressure one contributes more to lift. You can see this when a wing stalls, the airflow separates from the upper surface and the pressure difference is gone. The angle of a stalled wing still means air is directed downwards, but the overall lift is much smaller.

At least that is what I've been told anyways

And I thought kotlin was crazy with whatever (modifier: Modifier = Modifier) means to make it happy

Pretty sure only you thought that
