Has anybody fired a Tesla out of a Trebuchet into the Sea yet?

In the YT video the young engineer optimizes the aim.
Modern neural networks are based on similar mathematical optimization principles (cost/loss functions)...

Thinking with cartoonish supervillainy 'could you launch an atomic bomb from a trebuchet?' and I enter that in search engine to get this story as a possible result...

#Dresden #Carolabrücke #Bridge #trebuchet

Ich spiele sehr hart mit dem Gedanken Trebuchets und Fangnetze statt eines Brücken Neubaus vorzuschlagen. Die Vorteile liegen auf der Hand.
- unterhaltsamer
- Touristenattraktion
- erster Schritt in Katapult basierter Transportwirtschaft.
- umweltfreundlich
- Spaß für die ganze Familie

Ich sehe da nur vorteile

Thinking of the political news today and thinking of Medieval Siege Weapons.....

"Make trebuchets, not guillotines.

For billionaires.

Footage shows Israeli forces using medieval-style trebuchet catapult on Lebanon border

The #trebuchet, a weapon made of wood with a long arm that catapults projectiles, can be seen hurling balls of fire over a fortified border wall into southern #Lebanon, where intense fighting is ongoing with the armed group Hezbollah. An Israeli soldier with a bow is also seen firing a burning arrow across the border wall.

#Israel

Was this ever used? It seemed to be aimed at the volunteer tent! #emfcamp #trebuchet

Some person contacted me on LinkedIn boasting that they "launched unicorns." I cannot ever imagine wanting to do this, much less paying someone else who does this. I can't stop thinking about the poor unicorns. #Marketing #Trebuchet #Medieval

Oh darn >:c

Advent of Code Day 1 — Trebuchet?!

Elves can't fly, but maybe YOU can... with a little help from a friendly Christmas trebuchet...

The other day @zalasur made a post that reminded me of back in 2012 when some coworkers and I built a trebuchet. Here's a short GIF of us firing it - and almost hitting our target around 60-90 meters away.
