probably shouldn't be in the 'awesome' thread....but in a way, it is.

Al Goldstein interviews my hero David Allan Coe, practising Mormon. DAC biches about doing a six-year stretch in the penitentiary for "obscene literature, which now isn't even a crime." Likely from 1980s. He explains his evolving progress in behaviour with females, a steep learning curve after his multiple prison terms. Get's in some of "Three Biggest Lies," "Linda Lovelace" and "Cum Stains On the Pillow." The one-and-only.

Electric planes - will take a while to get going, but this is a decent start.

@NTA I wonder what the ratio is between fuel weight/ range and battery weight/ range.

[NTA]

@antipodean a good point. Carbon fuel packs a ridiculous amount of energy into a small space compared to a battery cell.

Another key thing to note there: an electric plane is about the same weight landing as it is taking off. Compare that to a jet which will lose a shed load of weight while burning fuel and lands more easily as a result.

BUT then you need to ask: does the electric plane start out lighter in the first place?

I didn't know whether to put this into the British Politics thread or here. In the end, awesomeness matters more. Watch through to the end. Apologies for the video quality, but rest assured this appears to be the version and quality the candidate endorsed.
