Exactly. Hence the chaos creating.

You forgot: don’t wear underwear. So exhausting AND gross.
Create some real chaos, make it look like Putin did it using one of his preferred methods.
Hmmm certainly something to think about. Like I said, skeptical but also asking about what I hadn’t thought of [cheers]
I won’t agree or disagree with the speed comment, you could very well be correct.
As for powering by solar in Japan (and any other currently electrified system), I would guess that’s easily done right now by changing how their power is generated; and that doesn’t require a change in the system, just the generation. In japan around 66% of their rail is already electrified (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_electrification_in_Japan look at the summary box showing total miles and electrified miles). So I’m still skeptical that a conveyor system is the answer vs adding more electrified rail in that same strip of land and powering it with solar generation. But again, maybe there’s something to be gained with such a different engineering solution per my OP.
And while you’re spot on for the US (less than 1% from my google search) a conveyor won’t solve it sadly unless there’s something about that which makes it cheaper to deploy then adding a catenary system to our current railways.
Hmmmm I’m still skeptical mind you, but hear me out …
What if there’s benefits to be had by the traction motors being stationary, the electrical connections being fixed instead of moving contacts (read: not 3rd rail or overhead catenary), and the simplicity of containers not being all connected for easy removal from the conveyor without disrupting the movement of other containers?
Mind you I can’t imagine how this system can operate at reasonable speeds vs cargo trains that apparently hit 100km/h in Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_Freight_Trains_(Japan) ) but surely my imagination isn’t good enough.

woah too soon man, too soon
naw, just perfect!!!
Sounds like a great reason to GTFO of Tennessee
and to create entirely new social networks. I spent years moving in the military, at least we had an insta-group to step into. Not so easy as a middle-aged civilian.
I can’t. But I can do 2:16pm
Never stopped.
Hmmm I suppose that makes sense. I mean, I obviously can’t argue given the many videos out there. I guess I’m just surprised. Those things aren’t quiet, and as you said the ones being used are much bigger than your friends.
I wonder if it’s a factor of being up in free open air, as opposed to being say, 50-75m away a few feet off the ground so the ground can help reflect the sound a bit more.
Well, like I Said, glad it’s working either way :)
Vid says altitude is 75m, that isn’t THAT high. How do they not hear these drones? Is the sound really dissipating that much? Are their ears just deaf from gun fire and artillery?
Either way, Slava Ukraini !!!
[shrug] we really didn’t experience the rudeness they are so famous for. But I’m not denying it’s a thing. Either way, I enjoy both styles of bread very much.
You’re right of course, nor was I making any judgements. I loved seeing it! It made me smile. As did the quintessential “scowling french waiter” standing 15ft in front of us on the other side of the side walk, with apron and and all. And despite a previous poster’s comment about their infamous cultural rudeness, these slightly overweight, non-french speaking Americans didn’t experience any overt rudeness at all. If they were bad mouthing us quietly in french they did a great job of hiding it. [shrug]
I would visit Paris again in a heartbeat; though I would never fly Air France nor pass through CDG if you paid me. Such a horrible experience. Guess we’ll fly BA into LHR and take the chunnel or a ferry for the experience.
Jokes aside, I swear they really do walk around with baguettes in hand. 3 days in Paris, sitting at multiple cafes, and we saw it in the morning, at lunch, in the evening. Men, Women, Children, well dressed, poorly dressed (for a Parisian), black, white, brown, blue, green, every combination in between, we’d see someone walking around with baguettes. I’ve lived in multiple cities and visited even more in the US and Europe. Never have I seen so many people walking around with bread!
that’s “more of zee sex” to you buddy
I’ll allow it!
