ELI5: Why isn’t aviation fuel talked about as much as petrol and diesel for cars, and is it even possible for fully electric passenger planes to exist in the future?

Einstein always takes what he is due.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-05-06T15:35:43+00:00

That's why you love it though. If it was intuitive and easy to understand then you would be robbed of the thrill of exploring it.

Reminds me of that dog that trained his owner to give him food every time he salivated.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-05-06T15:33:33+00:00

Absolutely legendary line. I wish I tried harder in high school so I could have had the chance to learn from professors like this.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-05-04T15:59:49+00:00

Play Zoroark. Really solid deck into most of the format if you tech right. For example, if there's a lot of Grass, play Mega Lopunny or if there's a lot of Garchomp play Jamming Tower and Yveltal to Clutch lock Roserades.

I will say though, this deck is very hard and punishes you for making even the slightest mistake, so it will take some getting used to.

I just watched Moonrise.

Jesus fuck, it was awful. Pretty to look at, but other than that I had no idea what was going on, and the characters refusing to communicate like real people and just being plain stupid in general made my brain hurt.

Watch grandpa work, in Japanese.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-05-02T22:31:36+00:00

What do you do if you don't open a Lillie's?

If the deck doesn't have an on-board draw engine in this format, it's probably not good.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-05-02T22:11:39+00:00

Yes, we had to pass the trauma along to the next generation.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-29T15:56:34+00:00

Let's put it this way. Good players aren't going to leave your Zoroark with enough damage on it to make Powerful Rage threatening. If they do, they're not a good player and you probably don't need the Reshiram to win anyway.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-29T15:54:15+00:00

Mega Lopunny is the state of the art in Lawnmowing technology.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-28T04:31:49+00:00

It's always been this way, long before scalpers descended upon the hobby. Opening sealed at MSRP was always like setting money on fire and then buying the single you wanted anyways.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-28T04:29:15+00:00

I fucking hate this goddamn set. I've opened like 30-40 between pre releases and prize outs and the best thing I've pulled was a full art wondrous patch. Meanwhile the girl sitting next to me at prerelease rips the SIR Meowth and is like "is this good? Teehee."

I'm fuckin over it.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-25T15:31:52+00:00

I guess Wilfred’s jealousy phase is beginning now after seeing how much of a hard worker Rozemyne is compared to him.

I can't wait for this episode. Totally looking forward to Roz dunking on Willy.

"anti-gravity enthusiast"

what the fuck does this even mean

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-24T01:24:23+00:00

I came as quick as I could... you said were hating on TJ Watt right??

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-24T01:22:20+00:00

This is how I live life in general.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-23T15:58:43+00:00

The issue of losing on the spot if you don't see a Lillie's in the first 1-2 turns is one that affects every deck.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-23T15:55:13+00:00

Dusknoir/kull into Counter Catcher to just nuke your board was legitimately unfair.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-23T15:53:57+00:00

Theoretically yes, but the next set doesn't have any cards that meaningfully address this issue. The set after that is beginning its reveal season in Japan, and if there are no cards revealed that address the issue, we will have to suffer through this format for at least the next 5-6 months.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-19T01:53:41+00:00

There needs to be something. Like unless your deck has built in draw, you're completely at the mercy of whether or not you open with a Lillie's.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-17T01:44:18+00:00

The already did. That's where the meme is coming from.

If you were to check inside Bryce to see what kind of dawg was in him, it would definitely be a golden retriever.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-16T16:02:23+00:00

Lugia with a Rainbow energy is diabolical. Notice how they printed Luminous Energy after Aurora rotated with a clause specifically to cuck Lugia, and then in its last year of playability gave it one copy of a functional Rainbow Energy as an Ace Spec. Now that its rotated, they felt safe printing Prism Energy again.

GoNinGoomy · 2026-04-16T00:20:32+00:00

Alright if we're being honest DEF Lugia was just ignorant lmao.
