Yup. Like I don’t even get the conversion argument at all. “1 cup of flour weighs 125g”. Except when the recipe was using something other than all purpose flour. I’ve had Alexa incorrectly hear the specifics necessary to answer those type q

They usually are the same in the US too based on my own anecdata of having ~10 different ones over past twenty years.

Yeah, 8’ just barely fits in via the nose. You got maybe an inch or two to spare on height. Going via the main deck side doors on a cargo style 747 would be much easier imho for a container that size. Not only can you go a full 10ft high, y

Engine is roughly 2.25m in diameter and 5.5m in length. So it would fit through the nose cone door, even with a modest fixture/container, with room to spare.

The issue is the dimensions of the cargo doors. A 747 engine is approximately 2.25m in diameter and 5.5m long. Of the 4-5 different sized doors on a 747, there’s only two that it would fit through: - Front nose cone door - Main deck cargo d

I feel like there’s a lot of leaps in your “logical construct” there. First and foremost, did YC approve of this “core business model”? Sure, the founders got into YC, but did they pivot during the program (frequently happens)? And while
