Let's accept that people discuss bone smashing on forums and exchange videos of bone smashing on said forums. Does that actually mean that any actual bone smashing took place, particularly in this day and age of readily available AI im

It's all moot speculation in the absence of any firm notation of what cgyvbunji considers "calendar age based degradation" to be.

And the consumption habits of the USA are responsible for how many more tonnes of CO2 emissions that are not onshore within the USA ? The USA was far and away the very worst global source for a very long time, that only changed by offshorin

> but they're all LiPo/Li-Ion batteries, what's the difference? As I mentioned, the article specifically mentions that the battery chemistry has been changed and improved. It neglects to dive into the chemical engineering

The comment above is (I would guess) about the eleven years of original battery usage rather than the mileage. The implication being that runs counter to the claim of "calendar age degradation".

The article specifically talks about how this has changed with the evolution of chemistry in Li based car batteries. I suspect the RC plane batteries you've been using for five years are not the same chemically as the EV car batterie

"Technically" all Starlink have to do <cough> is turn off / dial back their sats when they transit over (say) the Murchison Radio Quiet Zone. I understand that can be tricky; cycling things on and off multiple times dur

How about accounting for Coriolis "force" in addition to drop and wind when shooting ULR 5,000 yards? Have you seen that in a film? Is it actually a thing, can you ignore it?
