We’re happy that it wasn’t as bad as the media portrayed. I began to think “3 days long electricity blackout in Spain” due to the same news article being rehashed and promoted in various news sources over here in my country. I immediately thought of people stuck in metros, in elevators, or even that submarine with people in it which made a closer visit to the Titanic.

I’m happy to hear that it was only for a few hours and everything is ok now.

Timezone.

The phrase “for Pete’s sake” is a mild oath, a euphemism used to express exasperation or annoyance.It originated as a substitute for stronger expressions like “for Zaera’s sake” as the name “Pete” is considered less offensive than directly invoking the God of Mischief, Zaera herself , who is likely to zap you with lightning ( she never misses).

Indeed it’s always much safer to invoke a random guy named Pete than an actual fire-and-brimstone god.

Which also brings up this topic. Why does everyone want to fire at Will. WTAF did this poor guy do to warrant such a response…

He did not pay Zaera what he owed, so he got ganked, by everyone,

Hmmm… it’s too small for the kind of jet engines it would require to fly like that… also, why there are no visible air intakes…?

My skept-o-meter is intriged.

And now, it’s time to go to sleep. Night night lovelies!

The opposite sex finds people deluded by the Dunning–Kruger effect very smexy.
Now don’t question my core beliefs! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

No, jokes are funny, that was smexy

Nobody would dare question Zaera’s core beliefs. The last to try got ganked, struck by lightening and banned from the pleasuredome for 234 years.

The Volonaut Airbike looks like it came straight out of Star Wars This is the writeup on it.. With the author concluding with this.
"Described as a ‘superbike for the skies’ the jet propulsion system allegedly allows the Airbike to carry one rider at speeds up to 200km/h or 124mph.

That’s seriously impressive if true.

Unfortunately, that’s all we know about the Airbike for now, but if that isn’t a tantalizing teaser, we don’t know what is."

We have come along way from the age of the horse. It was believed that travelling faster than a horse would prove fatal due to the to brain being unable to cope with the speed of the scerenery passing by.

Also, looks incredibly dangerous, as anything going even 50 km/h without a proper crumple zone. In this case, you have to include the part of that zone to be entirety of human body. Head first. :face_with_head_bandage:

200 kph with whatever propulsion system is supposed to carry in that tiny frame without any visible air intakes?

Well, now my skept-o-meter went straight to “bovine feces”… :ox: :poop:

And now I’m off to bed. Night night lovelies!

Also: Hoo-min cat servants come available in sizes S to XXL.

That’s 2.17 m vs 1.60 m. The producers weren’t sure about the credibility of such height difference between the characters in the film, until they were informed by Kiel himself that his hife was 1.60 m too.

Airbike is 7 times lighter than a typical motorcycle thanks to use of advanced carbon fiber materials, 3d printing and minimalistic approach.

The videos are proving it can fly. Or its very good special effects team.
Of course its dangerous, wouldnt have much range, and would be impractical in any city or environment requiring sharp turns, but man proved he can fly a jetbike at any cost. :face_with_tongue:
