But making them depends on knowledge people didnt have. Like the existence of a vacuum

Pissing in your suit on the moon still counts as pissing on the moon

According to the wiki, he made an airship- thats lighter than air

And they won, because the patent covered any construction for adjusting the wing to achieve lateral roll control.

At least 3 years later, and the 14-bis wasnt controllable.

There was a good video i saw-unfortunately dont know who by- that talked about the romans inventing the steam engine. After all, the greeks had the aleopile. But there was SUCH a vast shotcoming in terms of knowledge about physics and the world that it wouldnt have happened. Stuff that even a child knows today they had no idea.

That was otto von lilienthal. And he died doing that. He had no way to steer the wing(other than shifting body weight), and his tables of lift were full of errors.(according to the wrights, who had to make a tiny wind chamber to do their own experiments)

Sure it mightve been done shortly thereafter. but even france, who had assumed the wrights were a hoax, didnt accomplish anything STEERABLE even many years after.

The other major US competitor was Langley, and his Aerodrome wasnt even close.

This video from gregs airplanes goes into a lot of detail and i thought it was fascinating.

Who tried flying using their technology without paying them. As they shouldve, because they invented it, and everyone was trying to get out of paying.

Its not like they bought the patent and did no work,they risked dying testing it.

Um. Maybe if youre drunk and/or high.

GIMP is awful though. I havent seen the new ui yet, but the old one was unusably bad

Thanks claude.

Tuvix would disagree

Yep. Me too. Definitely not the version of gabby that was all peaceful tho.

I had a “waterproof” e reader that was sitting in the bathroom directly opposite the shower for a week, the battery got fucked up and the case popped off

I like kde a lot, but their theming is kinda shit. The win7 themes dont really achieve aero effects that well.

Thats just called getting a microsoft live account

Theyd probably try to use gemini, and it would either spin in circles or delete their production databases

You gptta just be stubborn as hell. Refuse the bag, take your cart to the car, and chuck it all in

It was really hard to use ie at the time. I worked at lockheed making a javascript repair sim, and it took 3 minutes to load in IE vs 10 secobds in chrome
