    So long as they’re doing the dishes and shitting the the composting toilet; fair enough.

    If not though, everyone can always blame their parents and use that as an excuse for never actually evolving into something better.

    I hope it is better wherever you live, but I still see a lot of teenagers wanting to drive cars; so fuck those cunts.






  • 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.
