@pepsi_man @Rasterman Might depend on where you are. In Sao Paulo, the nice areas are mostly light skinned and asian. Didn't explore the favelas as I was told they will rob whites/asians pretty much on sight. Can't speak to the rest of the country.

@monsterislandcolonizer Thanks! I'll call off the internet police.

@dictatordave @ins0mniak Not enough, I'm sure.

@nugger @professionalbigot69 You can also make a bitchin' van to live in. It's not complete until you've got an awesome wizard painted on it, though:

@monsterislandcolonizer It's illegal to post about a banger and not link it. I'm gonna have to call the internet police.

@ButtWorldsMan Maybe he'll hit the gym and stop being a bitch. I'm not holding my breath, though.

@Diogenese_Shiplap I wonder what the power density of a large flywheel is versus a lithium ion battery of equivalent weight? The maintenance is certainly cheaper. While I think a large runaway flywheel is more dangerous than a battery fire, the ease of maintenance versus a battery array should offset the risk.

@stoner713 @Diogenese_Shiplap Some railway museums still use such systems to maintain their engines. Much of the equipment to maintain steam locomotives was never updated to electrical drive as diesels and diesel/electrics let steamers behind.

@Diogenese_Shiplap Flywheel 'batteries' are still used in specific black start applications when reconnecting power plants to the grid. A flywheel can dump all of its energy in a very short time allowing them to act as giant capacitors handling the massive current spikes that come from a power plant having to suddenly start every motor currently connected to the downed grid.

Bearing technology has come a long way. Maybe it's due for a resurgence?
