With the right electric field you can generate (a small amount of) thrust our of ions in air flowing over a charged plane.
One of the myth-busters “anti-gravity” devices they tested was actually (very weak) a static electric ion thruster.
Pretty cool - but it did need electric power input.
Previously i’ve only accepted AI into my life as a thing to use when I get asked ‘stupid business jargon management /HR question’ at work.
but I’m tentatively prepeared to allow this, it might be raisin the bar.
Such a portable toilet might be great for shit posting whilst waiting for the train.
Unfortunately someone needs to photoshop a bit of the background platform colour in there

I sure hope no one gave them positive feedback.
Is this existential angst what caused his winter of discontent?
If you figure out the right protocol you could probably catapult a series of twisted pears from house to house.
The way the internet is going, bashed and bruised fruit salad sounds preferable to the actual data anyway.
“You’re lion”
“no i’m not”
“ja u ar”
“no i’m not”
“cheetah”
I’m not so sure about that. A lot of people seem to get very angry about things that I don’t think matters, or they can’t do anything about . . . oh hang on, I get it. You’re talking about me aren’t you?
Is marriage just mutual public rickrolling?
A researcher should offer a sufficient compensation package to get enough volunteers after explaining the risks. They should get independent medical advice too.
They can still randomize within the volunteers with treatment / placebo, and maybe use quotas, but they’d just have to extend their trial period until they’d achieved a measurably representative treatment and control group and enough volunteers to test the hypothesis to the required level.
This type of non-random sampling may very well have to be done anyway, for example if they needed the power to test efficacy and safety in all the potential dug interactions or co-morbidity scenarios. Not to mention any diagnosis requirement will also screen the sample which could be influenced by health care system resources and policies, not necessarily pure morbidity. So I think they can deal with non-random sampling in med research perfectly well.
Not if they’ve pre-tested on non-volunteers though.
I don’t know much about nazis but I thought an important part of their rhetoric was to draw distinctions between types of human.
So they’d not see “10bn humans”, they’d see maybe 100m aryan and 9.9bn “untermensch”; the latter being equivalent to rats available to be experimented on.
I just find rats to be much more preferable, pleasant and considerate creatures than humans. I see humans as a single tier of unterratten; totally different hierarchcy.
Browse “all”? You crazy fool.
Presumptuous, smug, know it all, clickbait titles still didn’t die?
Fuck me, if I were in America and had to read toss like that, I’d probably think the population of ‘scientific’ americans contains a larger than normal proportion of cunts.
And a pack of condoms ?
Agreed, It’d be interesting to see the cost breakdowns.
I guess you have to spend more on tracks to get higher speeds, but still to get to 600kph you must put a lot of electricity into that thing.
If sort of feels like maglev should be able recover a decent amount of electricity during braking, but maybe there are practical constraints - or just too much loss to wind resistance.
Maybe it comes down to just a handful of magnets round a few axles being cheaper than a long line of magnets the length of the track.
i like the use of “derailed” instead of “never got off the ground” in the headline.
Sounds like he wanted to do a 1 man blitz, in order to reverse the outcomes of the actual ‘blitz’, but thankfully he turned out to be more of a V1 doodlebug.
