It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Honestly if they've improved the efficiency of sails then that's great, but this marketting text is still silly enough to go here.

Let's combine ships and trains. Tug a bunch of engineless freight ships out to sea and then link them up with a ship with huge efficient sails that can tow a bunch of open ocean container barges. No idea if it's practical or not but I like the idea of sailing trains.

I'm guessing braking without (1) causing a pile-up or (2) snapping the tow-lines will be a problem.
