To fully charge a 70 kWh battery, assuming 95% efficiency, would take 6.14 hours on 240V 50A. That said, it would be rare that the battery would be drained to near empty. Also, it is possible to charge using a lower amp outlet but it would take longer.

Yes, you could still be turned to jelly in such a suit, but it would raise maximum g forces you could withstand before being turned to jelly.

Fill the suit with fluid of similar density to human tissue, ideally including a breathable liquid. As long as the suit is sealed and rigid enough, this would VASTLY increase the g-forces that the human body could withstand.

Saint Paul is the second largest city in Minnesota, so not really dinky. Anyway, it's one continuous metro area, so it doesn't really matter.

Your cravings have a LOT to do with what you eat regularly. I used to eat way too much sugar, and craved candy and sweets like crazy. I made a point of cutting excess sugar out of my diet, and after a few weeks of this, I no longer crave sugar like I used to. Things that I used to think tasted good now taste wayyyy too sweet. I've lost 30lbs since I started, and now am in the healthy range for BMI. Occasionally I eat sweets a bit more than usual, and notice the cravings return slightly, but instead of indulging it I use it to remind me to stop eating sugar.

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain such sensors are not normally equipped. In theory, yes, sensors would be a useful tool to confirm actual weight and balance just before departure, but they still need to plan for expected weight. With short turn-around times weight and balance has to be planned, so that the airline knows in advance how much fuel and cargo to load, and where to load it.

Absolutely. Aircraft weight and balance is very important. These calculations also determine how much fuel to carry. Sometimes while in flight pilots will report unexpected fuel burn, difficulty climbing, that the plane is nose or tail heavy, and request an audit of what was loaded onto the plane (baggage/cargo). Also, if you've ever been on a plane that's relatively empty, you may notice flight attendants spreading out the passengers so that they all aren't in the front, or wherever.

All aircraft have a maximum take-off weight, and it varies with weather. A plane full of "average" people, including both Samoan wrestlers/Linebackers, and petite women generally is not a problem, unless it is particularly hot, or there is a lot of cargo. But a plane loaded fully with Samoan wrestlers/Linebackers could potentially put it over take-off weight. Also there's balance to take into account. It's bad for the weight to be concentrated in either the front or the back.

USI is expanding aggressively. I wouldn't be surprised if they've crossed the river in a year or two.

I've lived in the Minneapolis/St Paul area my entire life and have rarely ever heard anyone talk like that. Weather wise, around minneapolis (where the vast majority of the tech workers will be found) the temperature varies from a windy around -20 F in the deepest part of winter to around 100 F & high humidity in the hottest days of summer.

...a blanket ban on arming drones might affect themselves,...

Guess what? Not all cancers have easily identifiable markers, and even ones that do vary a lot from one cancer to another. You're not going to find a single agent (or even a set of agents) that you can use to target all of them. Therefore, no, it isn't universal.

It sounds like this particular technology doesn't really change the manufacturing process other than to remove drying time. So it can probably be implemented with little difficulty.

Then I guess I'm just more optimistic about what we can learn and do than you are. Nature is far from perfect.

Ha! What in the world suggests to you that we're an optimal solution? Evolution only makes an organism fit enough to reproduce and rear the next generation. Things that cause problems rarely, or create health in old age are poorly selected for. If we're optimized for anything, it would be as tribal hunter-gatherers, not modern civilization. Science is not magic. I am confident that we can do better, if we choose to do so.
