  1. The geran 4 drone is powered by a Chinese model aeroplane motor. Can you imagine a model aeroplane with these specs? How would RAAus cope with me flying in one of these? Discard the explosive payload and fit a windscreen & seat! "Militarnyi had already published 850 km range, a 350–500 km/h speed band and 450 kg weight on 3 May 2026;
  2. I confess. My remark about US chips in Geran drones was cherry picking. A quich web search told me that Russian drones contain materials from many countries, including USA.
  3. The USofA has been abrogating its responsibility for a long time. The trump administration has just taken it out of the shadows.
  4. Not sure it's what trumpy did, or Elon, or Kegbreath. But in Ukraine, starlink recently suddenly stopped working for any receiver travelling faster than 100mph. It is used for anti missile/drone intercepts. The Ukranians sent a Starlink device travelling at speed from Ukraine, into Europe and back. The starlink worked perfectly once it crossed out of Ukraine. It stopped as soon as it came back. Military Starlink is controlled by USA. So USA is actively preventing Ukraine from defending its own territory. Also, investigating a fallen Russian Geran drone has found US semiconductors in its computer pcb. USA is now working for Putin.
  5. Oh, I thought that if she wasn't dimwitted, the only alternative would be dim ethically. As Nev pointed out, donold primarily selects minions based on blind loyalty. And maybe lip size. Is that a metaphor for blind lip service?
  6. And not their intellect - at least not that of his preferred (mostly blond) choices. That leads some to believe that blonds are not intellectually gifted. Obviously not always true but convenient to the christofashist view that females are lesser than males.
  7. Sure. That one aspect raises another energy requirement of non ground vehicles. Land vehicles can stop without expending energy. Air vehicles require extra energy to stop or turn. So apart from a very great amount of energy to levitate, even more energy is needed to stop and to turn. Historically, this energy requirement has hampered every previous attempt at flying (even our aeroplanes). Has Mr musk found a new great lightweight energy source? If not, the magical levitating car is just a PR exercise, probably aimed at raising money.
  8. On the money there. No practical use in real world transporting humans around. No mention of the vast amount of energy required for VTOL. No mention of what powers the thrustors which seemed to have blue flames, and I call BS on his claim that it uses compressed air - where is that stored? No mention of range regardless of its power source. Claimed to weigh 300kg - well that ain't a battery EV. And I can't see compressed air propolsion giving all that power. Finally no chance it will go into production - unless he is just trying to prove Darwin's Theory. The average DkHd would remove themself from the gene pool with one of these.
  9. The latest Blond Barbie in the tRump administration has continued the trend of giving blonds a bad name.
  10. Is that a useful vehicle, or just another vanity wankmobile?
  11. There is a record spend on advertising for these midterms. Saturation advertising with that sort of money will swing the average mugs. Always does.
  12. I can see A.I. being very useful for direct logic applications such as coding programmes. These are easily proven by test running the code. BUT Ignore AI 'summaries' like the ones google gives you. They are frequently wrong. In fact, the AI's have (for now) now been telling us they routinely make up things. Of course they call it cute things like 'hallucinating'. But the fact is, you simply can not assume the information that AI gives you is correct. Google: The tendency to hedge or create a false balance is actually a cousin of hallucination. When my system is caught between a guiderail to be "neutral" and a prompt about a controversial topic, it will likely "hallucinate" a sense of validity for an unsupported side just to satisfy its formatting goal of appearing balanced and polite.
  13. Can you tell the difference?
  14. Trump is telling the country to vote like his name is on the ballot. If this results in a slap in his face, we can expect crazy tantrums to result. He has a record of vicious revenge when things don't go his way.
  15. The Dems don't seem to promote any meaningful platform. The most they are offering is 'Vote for us to make things like they used to be'. Are they forgetting that the Trump led Republican administration got elected because the public don't want the previous style of corruption and warmongering? Sure it isn't draining the swamp. But will a Dem win be enough to bring about a shift away from billionaire controlled government?
