It's hypocritical, yes, but I'd say we need as many people as possible spreading this message as loudly as possible.

And try as I might, it still looks horrible 😔
If we were starting from scratch, iron is about as common as it gets, geologically, not to mention how much "leftover" iron and steel there would be, post collapse. Barium/strontium for sintering ferromagnets is trickier, but ores like witherite and baryte aren't uncommon, though they are quite location specific, globally speaking. Not that you don't actually need full blown permanent magnets, just ferromagnetic material.
However, the easier (though less efficient) option would be to use dynamos with field coils instead of ferromagnets. That way the only resource you need is wire.
I'm working on something similar, coming from a process engineering/agent simulation approach, and looking for collaborators. How should we organise?
"deliver on small boats or be destroyed"
Yeah, the boats. It's totally the boats that are the problem. Those pesky boats...
Do we get to see the TR-3A Black Manta yet? /s
I didn't know how much I needed a Last Starfighter show until right now...
I'm in awe
Saw this a couple of days ago and is my new head canon.
Because it's 6 minutes of drums?
