You can do ducted fans, which is what a turbofan minus the turbine is.

It's a bigger deal on bigger aircraft, but on mid-size narrow bodies it's not as much of a problem. A 737, depending on the model, only has a difference of about 20-30k lbs between MTOW and MLGW and no fuel dump capability. An overweight landing isn't really a big deal in one, just a quick maintenance inspection. Closing the gap so MTOW and MLGW are equal is doable. It's hard to overstate how huge of an expense fuel is to an airline, if they have to lose some passengers and cargo they would absolutely do it if it got rid of the fuel expense.

Of course all that is contingent on having batteries with enough energy density to get somewhere close to current MTOWs while having something of a useful range.

The same way we make bigger aircraft with higher landing weights: beefier landing gear and structural reinforcement. Airliners don't have a lower max landing weight than takeoff because they have to, they do it because it's cheaper and more efficient. Add some more structural weight and you lose some payload, but if the efficiency gains from fuel cost savings make it worthwhile, then manufacturers will make them.

I believe they're doing separate queues per country, so that matters too

I've been pretty happy with Migadu they charge by volume instead of by address/domain and give you all the administrative controls for your domains. Other than that, no fluff, it does email, it's not advertised but they'll do caldav for calendar too.

What's wrong with banks' mobile sites?

And the latch to close it has a really satisfying kerthunk

I suppose you can't know that, but your odds on betting on a whole industry are better than a single company. Not to mention, the barrier to entry for a registrar becoming accredited really isn't that high, so I wouldn't expect market consolidation unless ICANN changes the process, at which point shit is fucked regardless.

If you have your own domain, you aren't stuck with your dependencies. Swapping registrars is a straight forward porting procedure. Swapping hosting is a matter of replacing 5 or so DNS entries. It took me about 20 minutes to reconfigure my domain's email when I decided I didn't want to use Proton anymore.

Exactly why WAPs, Switches, Firewalls, and Modems should all be separate devices

I mean, there are other possible ways to set off a dosimeter badge so they could be okay. But dosimeter badges are specifically designed to detect ionizing radiation (the bad kind). So take that as you will.

Fun fact: I used to work adjacent to the nuclear industry, going through one of the penis-checkers with a dosimeter badge would exceed our monthly allowable exposure to radiation.
