That was the original design goal for this new version, which also included packet data communications via ham radio so, it was not "already solved questions" in 1986 if the company that "solved" the issue wasn't founded until six years later

I've seen like 3-5 different dollar stores.
And a LOT of them carry 5-10$ stuff now.
So was your tarps like 5-10$ ? I was basically saying 7-10$ was average for small cheap tarp

>>2056083 Relative is the operative word there. The business model of these fake steam operations isn't really compatible with volunteer staffing, and getting full-time employees who can do it is tough, especially since running real steam involves onerous work, tough hours, and serious risks if somebody fucks up. You really need something that can just start with a key, that requires minimal maintenance, has available spare parts, etc. I hate them as much as anybody does and I wish people could just be happy with diesels that look like diesels but I understand why they need to exist and why they're the only real option for these operations.

>>2061545 Clippers were greatly overcanvased for their size but overall they weren't very large vessels, so compared to ships of the line or large oceanic cargo haulers they'd sport a fairly modest sail rig. There wasn't a problem making the masts and rigging for those giants so porting a smaller version of that to an even smaller high speed hull isn't much of an engineering challenge.

On a lighter note, the Berlin Senator for Traffic and Mobility has finally figured out what is holding the BER back from becoming an international airline hub: the lack of a third runway.

You can't "save the planet" and have a healthy industry, apparently.
Socialism kills everything standing in its way, which is usually people wanting to do anything against the will of their Godfather, the state.
That's why the Chinese version of capitalism wins against the German version of socialism.
