What’s the efficiency for turning jet fuel into mechanical work? I’d suspect the efficiency is somewhere around 45% for liquid fuel where it’s nearly 100% for electric. So you’re really trying to reach the equivalent of 5500 Wh/kg.

Nah, just zig zag away from where you plugged it in and it’s never a problem.
I mowed my grass with a corded mower for a decade until the motor bearing finally disintegrated. Cost me $100 and one blade replacement. No small gas engine was ever that reliable for me

Enjoy a new rabbit hole to dive down
AutoCAD is amazing once you get all your shortcuts and settings set up just the way you like it.
100% this. I used to work at a company that sold software that mechanical engineers used all day, every day in a certain field. Our app looked like the last pic but with better alignment.
People who are competent want all the things on their screen all at once all the time. They also want keyboard shortcuts.
The original discoverer of the element spelled it “aluminum”. The British publisher that published his work changed the spelling. The rest of the world got the right version of the man’s work. The Brits are wrong.

I watched Jon Gjenset’s stream where he implemented the beginnings of a BitTorrent client in Rust and of the four hours about 25% of it was spent wrestling with quirks in serde and reqwest.
It was pretty discouraging watching a pro have to fight the ecosystem so hard.
I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.
Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.
When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.
Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.
We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.
