That scans. A few years back we watched Alexander Sokurov’s Confessions, a documentary about (or sort of a meditation on) the life of Russian sailors aboard a battleship. The film was released seven years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It would not have been inaccurate to add a tagline to the film title. “Confessions: The Profound Sadness and Progressive Dilapidation of the Russian Navy”

I wonder if you could redo the entire Terminator 2 and take out Edward Furlong and replace him with ET?

Synthetic fuels are generating buzz, but for now they’re only produced at a pilot plant near Punta Arenas in southern Chile. Porsche, the main customer, uses them for its race cars. But more applications are on the horizon.

During test runs, a converted Porsche 911 managed to climb Chile’s highest volcano using e-fuel, a class of synthetic fuels, reaching 6,734 meters above sea level.

The e-fuel used comes from the Haru Oni pilot plant in southern Chile, which started operating in 2022. This plant produces 130,000 tons of fuel annually and aims to expand production if successful.

E-fuels are seen as a promising alternative in Chile due to cheap electricity prices, although production and transportation costs remain high. The EU also aims to increase the use of synthetic fuels to at least 5.7% by 2030, benefiting sectors like transportation and aviation.

Yeah, the problem with Cybertrukkk is not that they used glue to put it together, it’s that they used a glue that’s not fit for the purpose.
