    Rostislav Alexeyev would’ve been so proud.

    (The dude looks like the most bitter engineer I’ve ever seen.)

    It seems like it had to charge multiple times?

    On a single charge, it can travel up to 40 nautical miles at cruising speed.

    Why did you change the title?

    Article title is: Electric hydrofoil ferry completes record 160-mile voyage using standard fast chargers

      that’s your problem? why is that your problem? is that really a problem? is anyone hurt? does the change misinterpret something?

        It’s missing key information, and without that information the title doesn’t make sense, and kind of isn’t as interesting. Now read your comment as if I wrote it back to you.

          you could have just said “i don’t understand”. here, let me help you: a ship has set a record under certain condition.

          if you have a specific information to add, like that it applies to electric ship, adding it is much more useful than asking cryptical questions that does not help anyone, and baselessly accusing the poster of changing the headline.

          you are aware that any online server can update their texts, including headlines, and this headline may very well represent the state of the article at the moment it was captured, right? RIGHT?

          Now read your comment as if I wrote it back to you.

          “no, you!”. how was kindergarten today? 😂

            If this was a childish behavior contest, you would be winning by a landslide.

            Why even attack someone pointing out the title is misleading and wrong? What’s wrong with you.

              Why even attack someone

              it is the person i am reacting to, who attacked the original poster, in the first sentence that came out of their mouth, without a grain of evidence.

                without a grain of evidence.

                Ok, let me explain what the evidence is:

                1. The title of the post
                2. The title of the original article

                Is it really that hard to get that?

                I clicked on the post as I thought it’s bullshit as I, who served in the navy for 15 years, did much more than 160Nmi without refueling many times. But apparently it’s about a record for an electric boat, as clearly states in the original article’s title. So the post’s title changed the original title to clickbait.

                But why is it triggering you so much that someone points that out? So much so you have to insult them as being childish? While at the same time behaving childish yourself. Are you just trolling for attention?

                  that is not how evidence works. articles on the web and their content are routinely updated after publication. it is far more logical than that someone took the headline and intentionally changed one word to piss you off, because… why tf would someone do that?

                  But why is it triggering you so much that someone points that out?

                  why is it triggering you so much when someone say “don’t make stupid accusations without proof”?

            Also, the original article had a perfectly fine title. It’s pretty standard when posting to keep the title of the original article you’re linking to instead of editorializing it, unless you’re specifically going to fix something and note that.

            Here, let me help you: copy, paste.

              and that is based on… ?

              editorializing it

              your unfounded accusations again.

                inane [ɪˈneɪn]

                adjective

                1. lacking sense or meaning; silly:

                  ok, cool, i honestly thought it was a typo, but that doesn’t change my answer. just because my answer breaks your narrative doesn’t make it senseless.

      The special thing here is that the hydrofoil uses less energy than your typical boat, and they figured out how to recharge it without expensive infrastructure upgrades.The boat can’t go 160 miles without a recharge, but it doesn’t have to do stuff like replace a battery to continue on the next leg of its voyage.

        40 miles per charge, for those that haven’t read it. That’s enough for a return trip on a whole lot of ferry journeys, though. Certainly a good chunk of the major ones where I am
