that town is just a bit north to border with chechenya, going in straight line from there to teheran overflies only russian, azeri and iranian airspace. the only nato member nearby is turkey, and you have to go out of the way to hit it. azeri-iranian relations are suboptimal, but even then they can go over caspian if they want to avoid it

map would explain it much better

roughly tube with a very thick wall and spherical ending (it has to survive 100+ atm under high temperature and neutron irradiation - weakens everything over time)

as i understand, this is what bellingcat uses as a major source of data when reporting on russian activities

“It is one of the paradoxes of modern Russia: on the one hand, these services are illegal and rely on leaked data, yet on the other, they are far more convenient for day-to-day police work than the multitude of official departmental databases,”

gaben on piracy: “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,”

There is a thermal energy storage included as s major part. This works because compressing CO2 to 55atm adiabatically heats it up to some 450-ish C, so that heat is pretty high grade, and only the final stage cools it down with heat exchanger open to air. In discharging direction, some heat is taken from outside air to evaporate part of CO2 and heat stored is used up

compressors, turbines (like steam turbines), piping, some of which heat-resistant (500C), container for liquid carbon dioxide, lots of plastic for the bubble, something for thermal storage, dry and clean carbon dioxide, these aren’t unusual or restricted resources, don’t depend on critical raw materials or anything like that

Compressed air without heat recovery is more like 30%, so this is huge

Carbon dioxide can be liquefied relatively easily which is what i guess makes this efficient

wood, magnesium, aluminum, plastics, they say titanium is bad, but i’d expect iron, nickel, manganese, tungsten, silver, maybe zinc to be worse

“article” is entirely too charitable, this is a substack post

🌏👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀 (currently since 2023)

yeah piracy community is three blocks down, fuck off

they’re trying to get him breaded lol

Cheeky today are we? They’ll also write in all of Ukraine for them

more like task failed successfully

These sound like some random plankton orgs, you can just as well pick a name and start your own

random sample of 1000 people is a decent one, they even included error bars:

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at a 95 per cent confidence level.

really, happens to the best of us

the same way they did in 2021

ah yes chatbot seller says these things will become so capable, they’re gonna destroy the world, just you wait and see, but need trillion dollars in financing first. op have you eaten your daily recommended pebble today?

you don’t accidentally launch 13 (or so) drones from belarus going west

can these things be reflashed?
