It also doesnt account for basic American boredom:

Nearly every time a Boeing fuselage is shipped via train halfway across the country, they have to fix all of the bullet holes in it from bored riflemen in flyover states shooting it as it rolls down the tracks.

Basically the reverse of all of the shooting of Buffalo from trains during the westward expansion.

Eventually, someone with a high powered sniper rifle or even anti materiel rifle would take a pot shot at a vaccuum tube, which would then basically rip itself apart if it penetrated.

Please gods let this be true

As requested by apparently a mod…?

While my dad may be an insane QAnon adherent who believes that Tom Hank’s son rapes children to death for their adrenochrome, he was at least useful in that he has worked at Boeing his whole life and would tell me something like this every once in a while.

Sorry for your QAnon dad.

Thanks, he is dead to me now. Probably I am going to need some therapy to uh… process all that.

But no, really, thank you for the empathy. =)

If it’s salvageable, hang in there, not a lot of people get out of the cult, but it’s not impossible. One of the regulars at work went from thinking 50% of clouds are contrails to disowning her anti-vax friends since 2017.

Granted this is Australia and her daughter is a nurse and her little sister is immunocompromised and almost died in the pandemic.

But if it’s beyond saving, you have my condolences.

He is far, far, far beyond saving.

After years of myself, a person with a degree in Economics and another one in Poli Sci, spending countless hours attempting to explain to him, whose main education on such topics come from Rush Limbaugh (rest in piss) and even more extreme nutbags, that basically everything he, my father, believes about economics and politics is actually objectively, factually wrong…

After a decade of this, my therapist and psychologist told me that I am Autistic.

I told him this, and he attempted to send me to a long term mental health care facility, gaslighting me extremely badly, claiming I was delusional and making this up. Mind you, at the time I was holding down a remote data analyst job, making more money than him.

Long story but I ended up homeless ultimately due to the actions of him and the rest of my family. My brother decided to start stalking me by enabling parental control on my phone by removing me as an authorized user on the family plan we were both on.

My entire family are unstable delusional idiots, many with serious criminal records, meanwhile I am the only one that went to college and up until they tried to ruin my life, I am also the only one who could solve any of their problems.

I lost everything I ever owned, but honestly, it was worth it to finally realize and be free from how absurdly awful my family is. So much less stress.

Recommended Viewing/listening A more fundamental problem is actually making a vacuum tube

This is very true, I think one company spent like 8 years figuring out how to actually design an actually useful, actually reliable train tunnel sized vacuum seal, and then basically disappeared after…

…well its really expensive to just make one. And it would take even more money to be able to ramp up production facilities to be able to make the many needed for a theoretical system of them. And it would take forever to build them, in terms of ‘oh no our loans are due and our investors are angry’.
