Even a benevolent dictator is still a dictator.

Not sure Bukele is a dictator. We'll know once there are new problems to solve that might require a new leader

Isn't that common for Debian?

At the current moment, for practical applications, I agree. But at what point does an idea become worth investigating? Maybe a Sci-Fi screenwriter wants to have a futuristic but theoretically possible transport system between colonies on a moon with low gravity or sth

Would this work better, if the "train" were so long that it would always be in contact with at least 2 rings? Also assuming that the rings are passive and the active components would be entirely on the train itself, similar to the Chūō Shinkansen. Either way, this is even more unrealistic than building a tube in the sky as a continuous guideway aka Hyperloop

Edit: typo

I suppose one could make an argument that some people sell to pawn shops when they're in desperate need of money. Also isn't there that meme, where the pawn shopkeeper ridiculously undercuts the value of what you bring them only to then sell it at a huge markup?

This meme makes no sense without knowing the other post that shows this connector as a double sided USB micro B connector

That makes no sense, considering that our numbers stem from Arabic numbers

I'm honestly amazed the internet isn't locked down even more for you then. I was under the impression that the Golden firewall would be complemented with strict local network rules

Tbh, I stopped caring about Stackoverflow. I never even dared to ask a question ever since I've gotten more used to working in programming and have just been using it like reddit as the top search result

It kind of did though. California HSR isn't doing very hot in the court of public opinion last time I heard about it
