That is the kind of speed it takes to get a 747 into the air on takeoff.
Say you rolled down a back window of a car and stuck your head out (not recommended) you would feel wind so strong it would max out typhoon and hurricane scales, similar to an EF4 Tornado. The skin of your face flaps like fabric and seeing and breathing is very difficult, as seen here
Rite in the Rain makes amazing notebooks! I carry one all the time for work
Structure doesn't mean authoritarian by default but I see what you mean. Maybe like a reserve/volunteer fire department deal?
You have a normal life but you have some equipment you keep at home or in a car. Rifle, pistol, armor, drones, medical, packs etc, but the heavy equipment is in a dedicated area. Most equipment is self bought but with standardized calibers, mags etc for simplified logistics. Routine training and maintenance is done weekly, larger more objective focused training every quarter or so.
The key would be having armed people outside of that group, not only to boost defensive capability of the community in an emergency but to provide a deterrent to misuse of the defense force for anything but countering external threats. If you don't have that, in the words of a Clint Eastwood movie, "there are two types of people, those with loaded guns and those who dig"
If we're judging all products by the personalities of people who run them we'd have nothing left lol
2D Splinter Cell when stealthy, 2D John Wick when spotted
They did a great job with the gun characteristics too!
You're right the cold plate sucks out a lot of heat! I sit them in hot water and dry them off before putting the food on
Better get back to it then and I'll get back to enjoying this meme lol
Download the image and change it to whatever you like if it bothers you so much
And that system is AWESOME and I wish some highways in the US did the same. I fear it would devolve into a regulations nightmare after bubba in his rusted dodge rattles to peices trying to break 80mph.
Flat open highway in between cities in Kansas? Go for it!
But it's kind of like the US and guns. It's a cultural ability that is statistically proven to be dangerous and can be seen as too big of a risk for even the most responsible ordinary people to enjoy, and reckless people put the whole activity in question.
