Yeah, it definitely seemed like a folk tale the way it was told. But it’s interesting that it exists at all.
Here’s a photo of the cliffs across the small valley if you’re curious!

Who knew? I was surprised
My vote is for this guy. I visited a place in the Alps where these guys lived in the cliffs and some local family friends said to never leave your baby under 2 months unattended because the “Uhus” can still carry them at that age.
Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie
The car is efficient enough for it to do something (20-30 miles a day in summer if I remember), but yes it’s mostly marketing and they say as much. “Solar electric car” sounds a lot better than “this car is pretty normal but it’s super efficient”
I think the general absurdity of it, plus you’re never quite sure where they’re gonna go.
For example:
Not a metal tree, but they do impale things on thorns and trees.
It’s part of the appeal
Good hopepost
Fun fact: your left eye doesn’t go only to your right brain. The left half of your field of vision in your left eye goes to your right brain. Same with the right half of your left eye, and your right eye is split up similarly. How nuts is that?
Look at those dudes, living their best life
The issue ended up being that the plane was too tail-heavy. As the saying goes, a nose-heavy plane won’t fly well, but a tail-heavy plane won’t fly at all.
I grabbed a rock off the road and stuffed it into the battery compartment, and used a dried leaf to hold it in place along with the battery, and somehow my caveman tactics worked. It flew very well even on a breezy evening, although using the V tail as a rudder didn’t go well. It caused too much adverse yaw and general weird flight characteristics, so I’m sticking to bank and yank.
Everyone please join me in congratulating Pilot Pebble on his first successful flight! (The damage was caused by the previous pilot)
It’s struggled to fly well, but I think it’s because I’m a new pilot and it’s much less floaty compared to the other one I made. I’m hoping to get better before I break the poor thing, we’ll see

It’s taken from a small castle/museum in the Italian Alps called Brunnenburg. At the top of the cliff, you can barely see a larger castle called Schloss Tirol, they’ll both show up on Google maps if you search for it. It’s one of, if not the most beautiful places I’ve been and I keep going back
