  • Well, trials are there for a reason. Battery-only-powered trains could be a good idea or a bad idea.

    Remember the trial project for overhead wiring for trucks on the motorway? It ran for a couple of years, and the end result was that it wasn’t feasible, despite some interesting benefits. But if it weren’t for the trial, some people would still think it was feasible, while others would think it was unfeasible.

    I’m leaning more on the unfeasible side with this train, but let’s just see what happens.

    A dumb and sort of wrong version would be:

    Politically Left: “Society combine for everyone”, Politically Right: “Freedom for everyone at all cost”

    CORRECTION

    Unfortunately, left and right are rather coarse terms within the political spectrum. Consider looking for some easy explanations to understand the finer details.

    Fun Fact: The emergence of the “left” / “right” distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.

    EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.



  • On e cigarettes specifically, after having watched bigclive dismantle lots of them, showing that they are practically just a few tiny cheap components away from being rechargeable and refillable (and they can indeed almost all be recharged and refilled), I guess manufacturers simply saw a market for it. It’s stupid from start to finish, but then again cigarettes as a whole are stupid.

    I got that T-Shirt reference

    Also my favorite tidbit from the comments there:

    spoiler

    Toei Animation had to warn the Mexican government not to air the last episode of Dragon Ball Super in plazas across Mexico’s cities (which was promptly ignored) and was a huge event across the country at the time. Bars had watch parties and there was a flyer that got popular which read “free dances for everyone if Goku wins this epic battle.”

    Dragon Ball is a second religion.

    Was about to ask which extension can spoof Browser Strings for specific sites.

    Good ol’ uBlock counters yet again. We gotta protect that extension and all the filter list maintainers.
