How have republicans gone from cold war paranoia about Russia, to electing someone who is mouth open and eagerly awaiting Putin seed.

I'm not saying all Americans are thick as pig shit, but clearly ignorance and poor education is doing wonders.

From a nation to be admired to one for the purpose of ridicule.

Nowt new here, Putin doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. If it takes the entire population of Russia that's a rice he's willing to pay to be in power, he knows the moment he's not at the top he's dead.

Would a perfectly flat, tight sail on a boat be more efficient than a sail like we all know? (lemmy.world)

Okay hear me out and this may sound like the ramblings of a lune but i just thought the following.

Surely a perfectly flat tight sail would more effectively convert wind energy into forward momentum rather than a full sail which would first have the wind hit it at a slight angle pushing the sail in that direction rather than perfectly straight forward.

I realise there are practicalities in operating a very high tension sheet but this lives purely in the hypothetical realm.

Does this make sense or have i been drinking drain cleaner again.
