I didn't think living=experiencing.

I don't think that, but saying 'the purpose of life is to live' implies more life is more better.

Not necessarily, living longer could be at odds with experiences like sky diving or bull running.

Absolutely, that'd lead you to as many partners as possible while discouraging birth control. Plus tangentially it'd incentive trying to reduce the number of children other people have to increase your share of the gene pool. (Which I think is one of the paths you were getting at with eugenics)

How would you prioritize what to experience? By novelty? Or would you be happy to watch every movie ever made?

I mention those because it's a common trope in fiction for curiosity of experiences to lead down disturbing paths. Slanesh in 40k comes to mind.

I thought anonymous was anyone who wants to be. In which case, lots of programmers on Lemmy, get on it!

Seems like that's how you'd get murder, cannibalism, sadism, and things like that if you don't put limits on it somewhere.

I literally put it together in highschool when someone mentioned it to me after learning about how clouds form from nuclei.

General aviation still uses leaded gas almost exclusively. It's really hard to qualify replacements though the FAA, and airports don't want to carry multiple fuel types.

Vtol just includes vertical takeoff and landing, which helicopters do. The motors for eVTOL can be smaller than engines, so maybe you save some weight avoiding the collective? The tail rotor is also just loss, so I would think 2 rotor would be the most efficient. But I think these companies go with more for additional residency?

 

It can't be that hard, it's only two questions!

A lightsaber stick or sword stick would also be an acceptable choice

I love the noise it makes and how it manages to look like a helicopter and biology inspired. And the wing folded dive to get to the spice harvester is just fantastic.

These mini castles were built all over the city.

The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the Investiture Controversy.

Only a few survive to the current day.

My favorite movie soundtrack. Hanz Zimmer does a great job blending the motifs and themes of the various factions and characters together. It sounds so untamed and raw, I really like it.
