They do fold; but they fold in a way that covers the deck. Again, I doubt this would work for container ships. Sounds great for bulk storage ships.

The first oceangoing steamships were either sailing ships with a steam engine and paddle wheels installed afterwards, or even when they were designed as steamships from the keel up, they still had full sail rigging. They were built as combo sail/steam ships for several decades until the late 1800s before they ditched…

Quick Google search shows bunker fuel at around $700/ton.

I’m only surpised it took this long. I never believed that a billionaire was actually homeless.

I can only assume that you have actively avoided any news about Musk for the past few years in order to conclude that he is not stupid.

Will he have the Mona Lisa inside it ? 

I believe they’re mounted over the wings to create more cabin space by moving the structural hardware needed to support the engines to the wings, instead of on the fuselage, like with most small jets with low mount wings.

This article seems to have missed the real impetus for this design from inception was the increased efficiency from high aspect ratio wings (thinner). Yes, most current designs look the same because we need to have wide wings to support the weight of the plane. The brace addresses this. Another problem to address is…

There has never been a recorded human death by orcas in the wild, but that just means they are smart enough to pick off people who won’t be missed or leave witnesses.

That’s the part that I’ve never been able to comprehend. In formal research there is a strict requirement to obtain informed consent of all participants; especially when there is potential harm that can befall them. These protections are even more stringent when it comes to protected classes like children. How the…

Not just beta testing on their customers - on the public at large!

Good “both sides” bullshit.

Kudos to Handelsblatt for having the courage to print this story given Tesla’s “hardcore” legal team.

Tesla notoriously covers legitimate warranty claims only if the customer signs an NDA not to divulge the cars defects, as a goodwill repair. They also cook their books using this method. They were bound to get caught with their fraudulent business practices.

soooo... people with nazi tattoos ARENT nazi sympathisers?

TF do you think 2 lightning strikes mean? Get smarter or stfu

I always look and yes analyze a person’s tattoo.  They put a permanent symbol of what they believe in for the world to see.  The point is to make a statement about yourself.  Personal tattoos should be in less visible areas.

Lots of us folks sort of need to notice these things more or less as a matter of survival. Sounds like you’re one of the lucky ones

People have grown with the mentality that rights are zero-sum games -- that you lose rights by giving other people rights -- and mostly its white people, likely because they fear being treated like they normally treat other people. 

Speak for yourself: I look at a person’s tattoos when I meet them, it’s their tl;dr Cliffs Notes as to who they are. I recently met an extraordinarily cool woman with a photorealistic tattoo of the Grumman produced lunar landing module on her shoulder and it galvanized my attention. You can F’ing bet my attention…
