The Middle East really is in the center of the Europe-Asia-Africa land mass though. Also Egypt is more centered.

Reminds me of some custom Diplomacy maps

Probably half the people in this thread imagine LAX to SFO vs taking the 5 when thinking about long trips.

Nah, electric means battery

You can't dip into emergency fuel for non-emergencies, cause then you could have a real emergency. It's not like a hybrid car that people could run completely on gasoline. So sounds like this plane would be electric almost all the time.

Why do the generators specifically need aviation fuel? They aren't the actual motors.

I think the video states they are actually turboprop engines

Ok that makes sense

When do we get GoPro nods?

Yes. Not just practically speaking, but legally, you own the disc.

Nintendo is the only one still selling video games that you own practically speaking, ie you own the cartridge and it has the game on it or at least has the key. Unless I'm out of the loop on that.

GOG is better, but I still really don't like buying video games that I don't own (ie can't resell). Come to think of it, I've only ever digitally purchased one game above $5, Minecraft, and Microsoft ended up stealing that from me.
