The Smallest Things Will Ruin The Days Of The People Who Have The Most In Life...

It's funny how...

Teens these days can probably name more mass/school shootings than presidents. Ha.

Now that there's no South American team playing, I want Russia to win so we can end this cup feeling like how we have been since the group stage. Completely and utterly confused.

This is litterally the craziest thing I've seen during a wc game so far

When you choosen in the squad as goal keeper but you wanna be defender. 😰😰😰😅😅😅😅😆😃😃😃

Engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts

Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, and fans, which are powered by the combustion of fossil fuels or by battery packs that produce a persistent, whining buzz.

Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” – a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight.

Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.

“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”

He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. Further out, he envisions ion propulsion paired with more conventional combustion systems to create more fuel-efficient, hybrid passenger planes and other large aircraft.

Barrett and his team at MIT have published their results in the journal Nature.

I want to know what it's like to have an arch nemesis.

No need to be passive aggressive and secretly hate each other. Just pure open mutual hate which makes everyone around us take sides or feel uncomfortable.
