  • I suppose so, if some heater would be placed to heat the helium.

  • I heard about this law several times, but I always forget whether it is 'yes' or 'no' 😂

  • Yep, the problem is probably worse for big ones and the video implies that we need extra large airships to carry heavy weights.

  • Yep, the structure integrity is maybe a hardest issue here.

  • Helium could be detected with some specialized detectors, but I suppose approximately -- so, as you said, finding exact leak place is challenging.

  • Helicopter can also go into autorotation mode, i.e., to "gently" land even with engine failure. I think airships has no moving parts, what's safe, and with the gas leak, I think it is rather slow process, so it would be easy to gently land.

  • Of course – fully agreed that something has to be done. Civilized countries, like Netherlands have "sound traps" – if a vehicle is too loud, photo is taken as in speed photo traps, and penalty is sent to the owner. Sadly, I do not live in such a country.

  • There was a time I drunk af, to being unconcious. Now I see this was completely stupid, I wouldn't do it again and I am sober since almost a year. I am not offended by called square, I learned to find pleasure in simple things like music or tea or yerba mate or reading. Whatever you choose, take care about yourself!

  • The only science relevant to if something is “normal” in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise

    Well, only if you disregard your health completely. And speaking about social issues:

    "Even moderate drinking by parents can leave children feeling embarrassed or worried or lead to their bedtime being disrupted, according to the study led by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS). "

    Alcohol cannot be defended from any position, just as cigarettes, even if fortunes are spent by alcoholic and tabacco corporations to "warm" their picture.

  • That's the problem -- it is popular and considered "normal" because of historical reasons. Science says completely otherwise. Sometimes common sense is wrong. Science is wrong very rarely and if so, corrects itself after some time. Read abstract of any article about alkcohol, e.g., from The Lancet journal.

  • Alcohol is one of the most destructive narcotics. Read ANY scientific paper on this.

  • Well, that's good.

  • If you think alcohol will solve your problem, you are pretty dumb

  • I agree with the parent. Alcohol shouldn't be normalized as other drugs and the anon is probably an alcoholic -- who else drinks in a cinema on a Disney movie?

  • Ok boomer lol

  • Possible, but then the diameter would be an irrational number
