I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times.
But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

@AVintenAuthor I don’t know that I would call a chamber flag an inhibitor as it is simply removed. That would be more of a cable lock through the ejection port.
My bigger concern is the training scar or chilling with a finger on the trigger at all. Negligent discharges are a thing.
@augeeidos@stillgh4y Except it certainly didn’t at kitty hawk, and wouldn’t for quite some time.
There is not a present demand because the requirements to generate demand don’t exist. There was no demand for avgas in 1075 because there was nothing that could use it.
lol at you boomer age rant
@stillgh4y@augeeidos Aviation is a solution looking for a problem. We have rail or trans ocean shipping everywhere we want to go. Aviation is a cope.
Rail has immediate customers. Trans ocean has ships.
@stillgh4y@augeeidos lol no. There was no obvious link between the weight brothers and aviation based logistics. You’re the kind of Luddite that would have attack the wright brothers at the time.
JiT mining can be critical to long range space flight.
@augeeidos That’s quite the essay that ignores how space mining could work. Whonsaid shit about bringing anything “home”?
I point back to people calling the weight brothers idiots at kitty hawk. HORSES AND TRAINS ARE PEAK.
@Introvert_Curt 1. Unobtainable without global autocracy.
2. Exists, nuclear. Ask your local representatives to implement.
3. Largely exists, again ask your local representatives.
4. Exists in first world countries, cannot be deployed globally without the same issues as point 1.
