I think so. At the apex of the loop gravity balances centrifugal force, Fg = Fc, when going the minimal speed necessary to get through the loop. Fg = m g, Fc = m v^2 / r. So mass m drops out of the equation.
You just have to go fast enough. The minimum speed keeping you from falling out of a circular loop is sqrt(gr), with gravitational acceleration g and loop radius r. 10m radius requires 36km/h, which might be suitable for a Jetski. Larger ships need bigger loops to physically fit, and consequently larger speeds. It’s quite surprising, but a monstrous 100m radius loop needs less than 120km/h.
Ein Fliegendes Personenloses Vehikel?
Ja. Im Verkehrssektor passiert momentan nicht so viel. Tempolimit “will” laut Wissing “niemand”, er reitet das tote Pferd eFuels bis zur Verwesung und blockiert damit eine entschiedene Abkehr vom Verbrennungsmotor, und bei Elektromobilität geht es momentan auch eher schleppend voran. Da könnte der Minister auch mal der deutschen Autoindustrie in den Allerwertesten treten. Die Bahn muss erstmal ihre Strecken auf Vordermann bringen, bevor wir über mehr Güterverkehr auf der Schiene reden können, das Problem hat er aber geerbt.

And all the gold for his grillz? And the NMR and FTIR machines? Those are at least more broadly useful. Still, looks like he has way too much money on his hands.

(Do Dutch Wives Dream of Electric Eels?, Dec. 1984, PC-8801). Inspired by Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968), players take on the role of a private investigator who has to track down a sex doll (called Dutch wives in Japan) that has become sentient and is murdering its lovers. The player tracks down the rogue doll by seducing all the women in Tokyo’s red-light district.
The concept sounds awesome. The porno parody “Blade Runner” needed.

(samples in the description)English2·2 years agoIIRC from the “What we left behind” documentary, they were shot on film. They even had a few minutes of HD material scanned from the film reels. It’s the CGI that was baked only into the tape version that makes it so difficult to do a HD remaster. And why they went back to the tapes when producing the DVD release.

US to force carmakers to adopt life-saving tech by 20248·2 years agoDude, 13000 deaths are approximately 28% of the total traffic death toll for 2021. Even if I take the data for 2014, with the all-time low of 1.17 fatalities per 100m mi driven, that 28% is more than the 0.12 total fatalities in Germany (1.9 per bn km, 2018). Maybe the government could start fixing driver’s ed and make sure vehicles are actually road safe.
renormalizer@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How long could one survive with only water and beer and no food?18·2 years agoWith 43 kcal/100ml you need about 4.6 liters or 5 qts to satisfy your caloric needs (2000kcal/day). If you even out the intake over the whole day, alcohol levels should be low enough to keep you functioning. Beer also contains a bit of protein and low levels of sodium, potassium and magnesium.
Long term, you’ll get scurvy after a few months due to lack of vitamin C and liver cirrhosis from the sustained alcohol use.
Bulletstorm for some over-the-top action. The setting and tone is similar to Borderlands but it’s a classic FPS, not a loot’n’shoot.
renormalizer@feddit.deto News@lemmy.world•Trust in science down; trends worst in minorities, Republicans6·2 years agoYou know that CO2 concentration is at 421 ppm, (0.0421%) up from 280 ppm in 1850? That change is negligible compared to the 21% oxygen. Standing in a crowd or being inside causes a much higher variation of the oxygen concentration. Even moving up 2 meters changes the amount of oxygen molecules per volume by more than that.
It’s reverse: you get a board that has a floppy interface on one side and a USB socket on the other. You plug in a USB drive and the board uses a file on the drive as the floppy disk, pretending to be a floppy Drive connected to the interface. It’s a little less convenient because you have to deal with disk images but it works without moving parts.
