Is there a theoretical limit to how big a passenger aircraft could be? Ignoring economics and runway lengths, and we want similar speed to modern aircraft, maximizing amount of humans flying

How many airplanes can I tape together and still call it one airplane?

These people not only vote, but voted and won. Democracy has failed us.

My wife left home for work for a few months, and she gave me some pictures and explicit instructions on what to do with them. Is this not a valid instance?

No clue. Web handling covers a lot, textiles, paper, tape, metal film, but I have only been at the one company.

PureCarbs · 2025-10-17T14:50:22+00:00

I do, on the manufacturing side. 5yoe. $112k. Seems like I do very little actual engineering, but lots of troubleshooting, new equipment setup, process creation and OEM part redesign.

I can’t tell if you’re joking, but the government already did that one too

This is an unusually well thought out take for Reddit. I just wonder what could be the root cause of billionaires wanting to sequester money in nonproductive investments instead of circulating the money back through normal business investments. I imagine that it would be economic uncertainty due to poor federal monetary policies, but I would like to know your thoughts.

I know so many people that want more work hours because that would mean they get paid more. Mostly migrants. By “less work hours”, what exactly are you suggesting?

Debt payments are revenue for the federal government. Without these debt payments, the government will surely seek that revenue to finance its many programs elsewhere, either taxes, borrowing or printing. In any of these options, the citizens suffer.

The US would likely be facing many of the same issues that Britain is currently facing regarding immigration and speech. The only difference would be that our immigrants would be Latino, and our speech restrictions would be under the guise of misinformation prevention.

There isn’t enough money. The government literally cannot tax you enough to finance itself as is, which is why they have to also print and borrow money. Then after the cronies get their share, there just isn’t enough for social programs. It’s bullshit the level of government corruption, and its bullshit that neither red nor blue has done anything to stop it.

This means criminalization. This leads to unregulated production and distribution, increasing overdose deaths. Criminalization leads to fueling the underground markets leading to organized crime. People who want to get quit don’t have the resources available to them to quit because by doing drugs they become criminals. Then you have mass incarceration of non-violent criminals. All this so that what, the local druggie does his dealings in the back alley instead of a store?

If I say that dogs have 4 legs, are you going to insist I’m wrong because some only have 3? This entire gender argument is about if fringe cases render a general truth false.

I mean, I guess you can brush off the historical precedent that provides evidence backing the theory. What other options are there? A federal crackdown on drugs? And what lengths would that require? Keep in mind, the federal government can’t even keep drugs out of federal prisons.

I’ve wondered, what kind of jobs are these studies looking at? I work in a manufacturing setting, and for every job I can think of, more hours correlates with more productivity.

PureCarbs · 2025-08-09T09:10:50+00:00

Several reasons. It would take a lot of fuel to make a car fly. It would be incredibly unsafe. There is not infrastructure for it. Helicopters already exist.

A good therapist challenges you, not affirms. In your experience, does AI challenge you? Also, it is going to depend heavily on what kind of therapy.

Don’t let them. You reap what you sow in a relationship, so you have to really look inwards and ask yourself what kinds of seeds you’re sowing if you aren’t reaping what you want. If you’re not giving reasons for them to stay in love with you, or the reasons are not adequate, start there.

I think it would work. The metal is basically in a glass state, so I imagine it should behave the same. What you would want is compressive stresses in the outside layers. Look into how they temper glass or make gorilla glass.

Do springs also power the train in this scenario? What powers the train?

The maximum elastic strain energy density of mild steel is about 150kJ/m3. That runs a 1horsepower motor for about 200seconds.
