    Could they? With what system?

    The troll here is just now using the classic schoolyard strategy of "you'll say something - ha! I'm playing you like a fiddle!" He's probably trying to deflect from the fact that he's one of the people spreading lies and disinformation, especially about the susceptibility of vaccinated people from being infected. Yes, he retracted it earlier in this thread because people happened to read the actual source article he posted (now that's an effective strategy...) but who knows who he has spread this disinformation to before that.
  3. olofscience
    An admission of trolling right there.
  4. olofscience
    Your track record of not reading actually makes this really funny. Unless..."the way" is whatever you think it is. Genius. Then everybody else will be wrong compared to you!
  5. olofscience
    No, I don't think they'll be cheaper. But they'll probably be lighter than a pilot and free up an additional (and probably revenue-generating) seat.
  6. olofscience
    Since jump planes usually don't go very far from drop zone it's actually an easier prospect. Would need some updates on regulations though, I wonder how they would handle airfield diverts?Autonomous with remotely piloted backup, or remotely piloted with autonomous backup? Either way this could reduce lift ticket costs, or increase dropzone profits, or both.

    What date, time, tide level? Again...do you think that NASA has a room full of scientists who just compare two pictures all day to measure the sea level?
  8. olofscience
    Yes, we understand trolling.
  9. olofscience
    Because all NASA uses in measuring sea levels is random photographs of beaches, like you? Yes, it's definitely impossible../s

    Analytical solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations do not exist, which is why there is a lot of uncertainty on what's going to happen. Fluid motion, hence weather, is driven by temperature gradients, not just temperature. NASA, NOAA and other organisations run very powerful supercomputers to try to simulate climate models, some try to solve a form of Navier-Stokes numerically (probably LES, maybe even Euler approximations). It's a very active area of research and there are no sure answers yet. But a rando like you is so sure what's going to happen, right?

    I think that's pretty unlikely. Boris got close by catching Covid while there wasn't any vaccine yet, but historically it's not really a common occurrence. He's also a lot younger than Biden...

    Well as I said, my knowledge of her is very limited. Liz Truss, however is introducing herself and her policies to the UK right now, and it's not going very well...
  13. olofscience
    My limited knowledge of this indicates the opposite - that she's actually quite supportive of Ukraine against Russia. One of Liz Truss' good qualities is her support for Ukraine, but right now her claim to fame is she's crashing the UK markets with some rather brain-dead policies even rich bankers in the City are betting against. (Who by the way, are the main beneficiaries in her round of tax cuts)

    Meanwhile in the Pacific, Typhoon Noru has reached winds equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/24/asia/super-typhoon-noru-karding-heads-for-philippines/index.html Dude, where's brent?
  15. olofscience
    Driving. It's still in free fall, will probably reach 1:1 (or below) in the future.
  16. olofscience
    No, it's because of the regulations that have been implemented into law within the past 10 years. More on this on the article they've actually written: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/21/liz-truss-fracking-britain-economic-political-low-carbon-cuadrilla As a founder I'd expect him to retain quite a bit of equity in the company, and he's still very pro-fracking so he's still very much not in my camp when it comes to energy policy. I just quoted him to show how inconsistent and confused the pro-fracking side are, like how I proved with some simple maths how Europe can't even get near meeting their gas needs even if they fracked as much as they can. I want the energy issues solved too, but fracking isn't it. People are just going for it to 'own the libs'.
  17. olofscience
    When the founder of a fracking company, who's still a very vocal proponent of fracking, says it won't work in the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/sep/21/fracking-wont-work-uk-founder-chris-cornelius-cuadrilla ...it's goalpost moving time for the deniers.

    Great, now try glaciers.
  19. olofscience
    Their entire shtick is based on making up arguments of the "other side". They've been arguing with an Al Gore in their head for decades. When you try to debate them they'll say so much made up crap that's so nonsensical it's clear that they're not arguing with you at all - just the extremist liberal ghosts in their head. It's sad, really.
  20. olofscience
    It's okay to not be able to handle more than two variables in your brain. It's also okay to make stuff up about me so you can feel better about yourself, it's a free country But could you actually reply to our points so we can move the discussion along?
  21. olofscience
    And pretty basic stuff is what brent fails at. I live in the UK, and my in-laws' property has a gas boiler. They want to convert to a heat pump but the heat exchanger takes a lot of space and there's just no space, it's an old Georgian house. If it's a listed property, then it's even more difficult to make modifications. But brent thinks it's just about price and reliability. Only two items at a time.
  22. olofscience
    Again more simplistic assumptions when you hardly understand anything. A lot of building heating here is done with gas boilers which then circulates hot water through radiators. You can't easily convert that to not use gas.
  23. olofscience
    This is so brain-dead. Petrol and diesel also cost more in the UK than Texas.
  24. olofscience
    You implied it. Gowlerk: renewables are cheaper you: if it were true, then they would be chosen instead of X So, you were implying price was the only factor. Nice try trying to slither out of that one.
  25. olofscience
    You're making 'liberal' arguments that no one here is making. Look up the definition of strawman argument. You posted it here once...
