  • Mamdani must go over Cohoes Falls in a wooden barrel to prove to upstate New York that he isn't antisemitic, it is the only way.

    What you didn't know about Cohoes Falls and you went to that city nearby at the end of the Hudson? That is like going to Niagra City and not bothering to see the falls or the hotsprings or whatever.

  • I don't think Microsoft is specifically setting out to make shitty projects - like, that isn't their mission statement, and if they, or any other AI company, can bypass existing biases in the industry, I'd call that a net positive.

    What evidence do you have that they have any realistic chance of success?

  • Other people are going to have better suggestions, but I think electric tricycles are underrated just don't bomb corners as fast as you can.

    There are basic mechanical advantages to a classic tricycle with an electric drive, and it has all got to do with the transmission, the transmission is placed at the heart of the vehicle right below the rear cargo rack just rear of rider, this is why flat ground range can be so high with some of these otherwise unremarkable looking vehicles. In terms of converting electricity to torque in the rear wheels an e-tricycle can be thought of as a drag racer, and any cargo you add in the rear cargo bed increases grip potential for the wheels which among other things translates into more efficient battery power consumption per unit of mass moved.

    Bicycle people will often frown at the idea of a classic tricycle and especially as electric vehicles I think it isn't fair to the design, it isn't a high performance vehicle meant to fit through tiny gaps or bomb hills. As an everyday practical vehicle on the other hand... I think it makes a ton of sense regardless of who you are.

  • Mi8s, or whatever the derivative name is, that were originally designed for Afghanistan were rerouted to Ukraine so it is definitely possible. Also I don't think Ukraine needs advice on how to fly them, they need high quality flight data for modernized Mi8 variants they can use to make sure the modifications they make function seamlessly.

    To be specific maybe really high resolution flight data taken by a ring of bell unmarked helicopters flying in close formation to the Mi8? Maybe, maybe not.

  • The animals don't "work" because they are valued team members that don't work for us but rather contract with us while wearing Peppa Pig TM logos on their clothing.

    This work is strictly voluntary, but any team member who absents themselves from it will have their rations reduced by half. :)
