Most that is "relevant" in clothing, in China and most parts of Asia: is made by robots.

One or few more posts above, is the real truth: people are ready to buy cheap junk. Does not matter what the cheap junk is about. And especially in low cost wage countries, they are ready to produce and sell the cheap junk

If you would go to those places, and buy ordinary goods, they top notch quality, like Amy other top quality good on the rest of the planet.

Airport landing lights can actually be extremely strange.

I live close to FRA port. Yesterday was a festival one side, and airport other side. So I walked around on the roof and filmed both sides.

Two planes coming in, then 3 then 4. The lights pop out of nowhere. Obviously it is just distance and eye sight and camera sensitivity ... but the visual impression is indeed: aeh? where did that suddenly appear from?

Not absolutely wrong but absolutely correct, moron. Name called. Why is it called "name calling" when I call you a moron? That is not a name, that is a honourific.

A 1C battery is a 1C battery, regardless of how large it is.
Yes. But the charge is not measured in Volts mut in Amper-Hours. Or for easier use: milli Ampere Hours, or mAh.

I can make you a single cell 1V "accumulator" (as battery has a slightly different meaning), with what ever total charge I want. Farking idiot.

I can make you one that charges from a damn 110V 20A outlet, converted to 1.1V DC: for a million of years to get full.

Stupid idiot. What was your name? Ah, stupid swillden ... wanted to name call you.

Indeed.

And wind does not cost much crop land, as the pillars of the turbines only use very little land.

Solar can be everywhere, it is only put on crop land: if all agree the land usage has to change away from crops - for what ever reason.

And putting solar on crop land only makes sense for large installations anyway. Most installations are on buildings ... and soon parking lots and so on.

Then again: the percentage of land any country uses as crop land is extremely low. If some usage is diverted away from that, there is usually a reason.

Does not matter what the pilots seeing them knew about the projects.

With full speed they are hardly 2x as fast as a passenger plane. The F-117 was not even that fast. And: they look like air planes. They do not look like "strange objects".

And fighter jets already existed. So they only would look "strange", when you can visualy identfy strange details. No one would throw a second glance at a fighter jet too far away to identify with naked eyes, but that behaves like an ordinary fighter jet: flying fast in one direction.

You charge all of the cells in a battery in ()parallel(?), so unless your input power is limited by something,
The correct word would be simultaneously. As plenty of them are chained in serials, and do not charge parallel.

charge time is dominated by how long it takes a single cell to go from empty to full. if one wants to nitpick, that is correct.

However the battery is full when the amount of nominal charge came from the plug into the battery. Ooops.

So a smaller battery charges much faster, as the amount of energy to put into it, is much smaller.

Hence: the trend to smaller lighter batteries, that in turn support slightly lighter engines/brakes and an over all frame, and in the end lead to just minimal range loss, but charge in half the time than the previous battery generation. With similar driving performance as in speed, reliability etc.

You morons are not even utterly uneducated how stuff works, hence your stupid idea about "all cells charge in parallel" - you are also completely out of the loop how stuff works on the other side of the planet.
