Electrified rail is great if it's available but it's more than often not. In the absence of the electrified tracks trains use a diesel generator electric engine hybrid to haul which isn't terrible imo. Trains are just a part of the logistical puzzle though. Trucking is THE way things get from point A to point B in the US and it's not going away anytime soon. The kind of infrastructure required for the solution in your video is cool but to your point probably needs to be paired with some hybrid technology so trucks can still thrive in flyover country where building and maintaining electric highway infrastructure isn't pragmatic.
Yeah that's my point. Hollywood has ceased to be a creative industry. It's a rehash, reboot industry with box ticking producers focused on merchandising rights toy sales etc. There's very few interesting ideas tbese days.
You're saying the same thing.
I agree and the market is not offering an affordable, equally capable alternative to combustion engines. EVs are a larp for anyone who needs to do more than just commute to and from work. (e.g. long distance travel, towing, hauling)
This is the best idea I've seen for hauling. It's also basically open source.
Secularly everything has to be a social contract because there is no moral authority.
The death penalty is anti-christian imo. Man's judgement is fallible and we are all made in the image of God.
Coffee and gas is already outrageously expensive.
Getting a split keyboard is the biggest ergonomic improvement I've made.
One thing I've noticed with newer movies is they do a lot more "tell, don't show" than old movies.
The writing sucks which is why movies seem like stream of consciousness time wasters with no stakes, fake emotions and CGI explosions. When the writers went on a strike in Hollywood I actually laughed. ChatGPT can write better scripts than what Hollywood has been churning out lately.
It really does feel like movies are dumbing down.
I think this is a combination of armchair directors in the boardroom trying to actualize their market research and writers actually being less smart and creative. It would explain why everything is a prequel, sequel, soft reboot, universe expansion or some other vehicle for recycled IP.
Best comment in this thread.
Using technology is pathetic
I'm not defending a thesis. I'm talking to nerds on Lemmy that already have their mind made up about pretty much everything. A summary from ChatGPT is the appropriate time investment.
