The sail kite project has had claims of up to 10% fuel savings for about 20 years, now.
It's all moot when we should just be focusing on figuring out practical nuclear shipping. It's the only way to meet or exceed our current standard and be carbon-free. The NS Savannah proved it could be profitable ages ago, and that without any economy of scale to reduce costs.
You underestimate the force of wetted surface area resistance. The sail area needed to move a modern cargo ship at the snail's pace of old sailing ships would be unmanageably large. You simply couldn't hold enough sail area to get them near their current speeds. These hybrid sail concepts are nice, but all they do is save some fuel.
As ProZD just pointed out, never use the home screen, just go straight to your Subscriptions feed. It helps the people you subscribed to and you get more videos.
Considering I've seen a lot of gatekeeping morons go on about cultural appropriation without ever mentioning that, I think most don't understand this crucial distinction.
I never click on these, but I feel like if they made it explicit that this ad is to determine whether this kind of game is wanted, I'd feel much better clicking on it.
I figured this was a ventless dryer, as the standard heated kind basically never fail to dry things if you just clean the lint trap. And I even used one at someone's apartment that had clearly never been cleaned but it still dried after twice the usual duration. I took it apart for them and pulled out two garbage bags full of lint... I still can't believe that hadn't caught fire on them.
Ah yeah, I'm seeing people saying it's the solder joining some internal parts together, so that's a total non-issue. But still... this is the one place where I wouldn't defend leaded solder over the leadless alternatives.
Thepiratebay guy made an art project at one point that was a Raspberry Pi that did nothing but copy one song over and over again while keeping a running tally on a display of how much value it had "stolen" from the record industry by doing so.
One of the funnier random exchanges I've seen in SC was when someone complained in chat that he had a constant choking sound to which someone else immediately responded with, "well stop eating hot dogs like that."
