Re:A 17-year-old designed a novel synchronous reluctance motor

Aren't most anti aircraft missiles heat seeking? Could also be a reason why 60% of the engine energy need to go into creating heat. Otherwise cheap gas engine drones that can't be intercepted and can fly thousand of miles could be really dangerous.

Why are there no improvements in traditional petrol engines? They basically convert 60% into heat. Like use the heat to run a steam engine?

Is this meant as a joke? Because almost the whole world is working on outlawing or "regulating" these and they aren't even anonymous most of the time. Not being controlled and centralized is threatening enough.

It's a receipt for disaster. Especially if they centralize it even more by replacing banks with a Central Bank that fully controls the Digital Currency. Which they are already planning and testing. This will be misused. And people can be controlled with this in a really bad way. If your Social Credit Score is low you could be taxed higher or even forbidden to drive your car or travel, for example. Your food choices could be restricted at any moment too if you don't behave.

Renewables make things much worse because they need loots of Gas as Backup if the sun isn't shining or there is no wind. Which happens very often in Germany especially in the Winter.

You mean million that died, had a positive PCR test at some time. There are still less people dying in 2020 than in 2018 in most countries even though population gets older and therefore more people are dying every year on average anyway.

What do you think about one of the Australian Vaccine that got everybody in the study to test HIV positive. I don't think researches know enough to claim it save without long term tests. I also heard that HIV can hide in mRNA from your Immune system. I would call that long lasting.

I don't know. If you are right and they make that distinction. I think they even know much less about presymptomatic transmissions. Because why would they leave that information out.
Re:Animals Use Social Distancing to Avoid Disease
on Thursday July 09, 2020 @11:23AM (#23781231)
In Germany there are States that are basically virus free. Still the Federal Government after asked by the States to OK lifting of the Mask duty, insist openly that lifting the duty to wear a Mask would let people loose the fear for the virus!
Is it still OK to restrict freedom to just keep people in fear?

WHO says something different:
Q: Can asymptomatic coronavirus disease be transmitted?
A: Asymptomatic transmission refers to transmission of the virus from a person, who does not develop symptoms. There are few reports of laboratory-confirmed cases who are truly asymptomatic, and to date, there has been no documented asymptomatic transmission.

Why have a Supreme Court or even normal Judges if Laws are only allowed to be this binary? Why not option 4 you are allowed to censor if you give reason and the reason is in your TOS. But you are for example not allowed to Edit (Fact Check), Censor or manipulate Votes of your political opponents, or loose your libel protections.

My feeling is they pushing the extra crazy ones though.
Watching a clearly not well Person argue crazy theories isn't very convincing to healthy people anyway.
On the other Hand people like Dr. Erickson get censored, because they simply dare to question the lock down and argue that there is no evidence supporting it's effectiveness in saving lives.
