The osprey has both engines tied together for this exact reason. One engine can turn both props. It's part of the complexity of the thing. It's just too complex.

Prison

There's a bunch of steps before prison that do not work.

Yeah, the steps to make the law apply to billionaires too. Systematically and all the time, before they rape teenagers. Like, punish then when they are defrauding first time.

There's even more steps to reworking the system that have been designed not to work...

Most people who own guns here view them as tools, not weapons. Tools to get food with, tools to defend their flock with, tools. Taking then away would be like taking away a shovel.

Thank you, it's not on audible, where did you buy it?

It doesn't appear to be there yet, but keep an eye on Libby, where you can borrow it using a library card, from your local library.

For example, here's another Werner Herzog book: https://share.libbyapp.com/title/9611895

I bought it via https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9798217163595-the-future-of-trut..., I could select a local participating bookstore there and it went through them somehow. I choose them because it was DRM free.

I bought mine on audible.co.uk

Yes! I just got to go there earlier this month for the first time. They even have the lectern from the Kennedy speech (and the speech itself)!

Of course, but if Elon=great you can ignore that

>> The central promise—that distributed digital fabrication would bring manufacturing back to America, that every city would have micro-factories, that 3D printing would decentralize production—simply didn’t materialize.

This book was a big deal, promised it ("Makers, the next industrial revolution") https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/makers-chris-anderson/11109...

Interestingly, I am not aware that this book was really popular or well-known in Germany (I honestly hear about this specific book for the first time, though I am aware that some marketers (who in my opinion did not really understand the Maker scene or 3D printing) made such claims).

Instead, at that time, in Germany nerds were getting excited about understanding how to build 3D printers (in particular partially self-replicating ones (RepRap)) and how 3D printing

- could be used to make yourself much more independent of the discretion of part manufacturers (i.e. some part is broken? Use a CAD system to re-design it and 3D-print your re-design),

- makes you capable of building stuff in small scale "that should exist", but no manufacturer is producing,

- enables part designs that are (nearly) impossible to manufacture using any other existing technology, and thus basically enables you to completely reimagine and improve how nearly every produced part that you see around you is designed,

- ...

I would say that the mentioned nerd visions of this time have at least partially been implemented and/or are on a good way towards this goal. It's just that the practical implementations did not come with a spectacular change in the overarching mindet of society, but rather are highly important, but not (necessarily) revolutionary changes in the lifes of people who want these changes to be part of their life.

I’m not sure that would be a net loss. I would be shocked to hear of an area of the world that only has chain restaurants and nothing else.

Yes! And Kali!

I was on Kali back in the day too. Got into the top 10 on Cases Ladder. One of my friends made #5 one time.
