If this were remotely true then wind turbines would be getting smaller each year.

Not sure what you are getting at, but the landing strip does not have to be right at the base of the windmill. Trucks will still be used to move the blades from where the airplane lands to there. The distance is a lot shorter however.

I'm not very clear why helicopters can't be used though.

You seem incapable of reading comments before writing your fantasy about what they say.

Actually you better have a stealth airplane. And everybody on board better turn off their phones.

Someone pointed out some differences in Idiocracy: a primary plot point was that the President actively recruited a cabinet member for intelligence, without knowing what that cabinet member would recommend, and willingly followed the possibly unexpected advice provided by that cabinet member, and actively and accurately observed and judged results both when the cabinet member made a correct and when they made an incorrect decision.

Bluetooth keyboards and mice are annoying when you have multiple devices. I have a 2.4 GHz USB dongle for mine that's plugged in to my Thunderbolt Display. Then whichever of my couple of laptops or my desktop is connected to the display gets the mouse and keyboard.

Are you saying that you need a special USB-C port to plug in a USB-A cable + USB-C adapter to use a USB 2 device?

But somebody did anticipate it! If you read to the very end, it turns out that Norwegian vehicles donâ(TM)t have this problem. It turns out that this is a story about cheap crap dressed up as anti-EV FUD

It is considerably safer to treat stop signs as yield signs for (human-powered) bicycles. By far the most dangerous thing at intersections is being hit by cross traffic while they are moving at the low speed that they have to from a stop. Some states have decided to rewrite the laws for yield-on-red.

Some e-bikes certainly have enough acceleration that this is not a problem. IMHO these should be subject to motorcycle regulations and this also means they must travel in the car lanes.

The menace in London are people who drive Chelsea tractors. Oversized vehicles whose owners think theyâ(TM)re too good for the TfL. We need to take a leaf out of Paris' book and increase the charges for congestion and emissions, especially in zones 1 and 2, and perhaps even 3 (letâ(TM)s say everything inside and including the north and south circulars.). Cycling is the only sane way to get around this area. Driving isnâ(TM)t an activity that scales and weâ(TM)ve sacrificed enough on that experiment.

MKV can contain MP4

Are you mixing up MP4, the ubiquitous file format (container, like MKV) with MPEG-4 video, the outdated codec that preceded AVC? DivX popularised MPEG-4 video in MKV a long time ago, but they tried to move on to AVC and HEVC, also a long time ago now.

Davinci Resolve is wierd, it still can't do AAC on Linux. The last post in this thread was July this year: https://forum.blackmagicdesign...

It's free or cheap because Black Magic are a hardware company. They're not interested in feature parity on all platforms. In fact they're not interested in any codecs and formats that cost them money, hence MainConcept's plugins.
