Powered by hydrogen?

So I’m assuming it has large heavy tanks and a heat exchanger to warm it up?

Hydrogen although light needs a lot of heavy equipment to use it, I’m not sure where the boundary between hydrogen and batteries is, at what distance.

Fluorescent tubes? One experiment is to light a tube by holding it close to an electric field? Couldn’t it derive power via this whilst flying along power lines? I’m guessing it’s the wrong orientation.

There are so many deer around here now, they're asking people to hunt them and trying to start a taste for venison.

Talking with Fable about designing my dream home, and how I liked to be aware of the sun through the building and it mentioned this gem from 300 years ago using a mirror on a window sill to project onto the ceiling.

Is there some context for this?

Chaotic Indian bank narrations sounds intriguing.

It is missing a huge cut to a countdown timer for added suspense, a film isn’t a film without a cut to the countdown timer driving the story.

Apart from those films which do t have them.

Where did they get the water from?

Or is only SE England where there’s hardly been any rain.

This amazing!

The voxels, the people, the people in boats.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for an Axolotl, the people are milling about I’m guessing the human sacrifice isn’t a thing just yet…
