  • Oh gosh you just triggered my memories of the maemo coding scene. Apps were not sandboxed despite it being a linux device (read: just assign every app its own user…), so to get anything published in Testing you’d wait hours for the build server to tell you that your app did not compile (despite it compiling fine in the SDK) and then a hours to days to get a green light that the app will be uploaded into the repo.

    Small changes/hotfixes? Forget about it, same process




    • Speed of a Maglev train: ~ 300 km/h on average, ~ 600 km/h in testing

    • East-West width of country:

      • US: 4500km
      • Russia: 9000km
      • Germany: 640km
    • Average Times:

      • US: 4500 km / 300 km / h = 15 hours
      • Russia: 9000 / 300 = 30 hours
      • Germany: 640 / 300 = 2.1 hours

    Max speed of 600 would be half those times, so a large European country could get it down to 1 hour, but I don’t know anyone who stays horny that long.

    If we give a max horniness window of 15 minutes, then we need trains to be 4x faster than their current max speed of 600, namely 2400 km/h, which is Mach 2. The sonic boom would be immense, but so would the size of her sploosh as you come just in time.

    Edit: Interestingly, the UK’s width of ~ 300 km, would allow for a horniness window of 30 minutes using current technology.
