They're not jets. They're ducted fans. Different things. "Electric jet" makes as much sense as "electric V8 engine".

They're not—as long as the PV cells are a supplementary charging solution, in addition to wall charging, to the batteries. You'll get a bit more range out while driving, especially when the car is a lightweight low drag design and PV cells may be the only thing needed to keep the constant 90 km/h speed in a sunny day. And when not driving the cells might be enough to get the 10...20 km or so commuting range back over your 8-hour workday.

But putting PV cells on a 3 ton electric SUV or pickup truck is stupid, it won't do jack all due to the inherent inefficiency of such vehicles.

Not worse than a fusion torch. Or open-cycle nuclear propulsion. Or an antimatter drive.

You know, the Kzinti lesson😉

Velcro, or maybe Van Der Waals force, or maybe whatever the hell makes gauge blocks stick to each other.

So, which one(s) are the real opossums and which are reflections in mirror(s)? This picture makes my brain hurt...

Seems like that Jamaican town has some...

...serious beef with that musician😎

YEEEAAH!!!

Hey, it works in video games—just loot some lvl 1 dungeon or take pickaxe to a rock, then sell the stuffz at the local shopkeeper! You'll start small, but make thousands of gold in no time! Why wouldn't it work in real life, too? Just get some stuffz and sell it for profit, you lazy bum!

/s in case it isn't obvious

PC. Because:

1. Better controller support—I'm not limited to what MS or Sony deem as "certified" or "authorized" hardware. Most of the really good hardware (VKB, Virpil, Arduino) will never be available for consoles and what little is available is bad at best.
2. Best sims are PC only (DCS, Il-2, E:D, X series, Hunternet etc)
3. Sims support 3rd party auxiliary software (TacView, EDDiscovery, OMH, EDMC etc) for better experience and that's simply not going to be possible on consoles, ever.
4. For other games, modding experience on PC is simply better. SKSE and ENB is what keeps Skyrim going and makes it still relevant 13 years later. Can't have this kind of code injection and wrappers on consoles.
5. If I ever get into retrogaming, emulation is the way, especially since actually acquiring retro console games in their original physical format is bound to become a very expensive collector's hobby if you don't have your own collection from childhood already or don't have local second-hand options.

Downvotes shall list better headphones.

Moondrop, Truthear, 7Hz.

And from the old guard Shure, Ultimate Ears, Westone.

Vortex is not a launcher, it's a mod manager. And you don't have to use it, there are alternatives. But you should use a mod manager, manual installation/uninstallation is really bad practice that can and will break things.

This is good. Modding can turn into the deepest dependency hell ever and not having access to a specific version of mod A can make mod B that you really love unusable. See: Skyrim VR and Unofficial Patch.

Simply nuking the shit out of everything wouldn’t really make for an interesting story.

It did for the Killing Star. Not nukes, but R-bombs which are probably the most insane WMD-s and unlike strangelet bombs actually feasible even at our current tech level. All you need is a light-sail and a big-ass solar-powered laser.

But, yeah, for dune:

1. Drop an active shield generator on your enemy position
2. Shoot it with a laser
3. Hilarity ensues
