the sleeper cells

The UK’s dictator is the head of the state religion, has never been democratically endorsed, and has unlimited powers that by convention are rarely exercised (otherwise the parliament will have to kill a king again), plus religious clerics of the state church have permanent seats in the upper house

Yes all 20 of the falklanders voted to stay, including the 15 Brits

I bet the soldiers at Diego Garcia would vote to stay too

The Irish did that in Australia but they’ve been here long enough they’re just Australian now

More food, more weapons, more men, more horses, bigger house, bigger fortifications etc

There is at least the idea that one could eventually have enough material needs met to relax - the profit motive has no limit

Musk no, the other thing!

absurd reactionary things which are mostly inconsequential

Unfortunately there is not a clear demarcation and I don’t see much value in trying to seperate them

Yesterday’s steamer calling for fascism is tomorrow’s US political leader, and the absurb reactionary things being posted will be used to justify crimes against humanity

The only thing I care less about than whether something is directly consequential or indirectly and possibly not consequential is the allocation of those posts to two seperate communities created because of some bizarre mod clique about shit that doesn’t matter (not the name, which matters in a symbolic way, but having two communities)

And now I should disengage because I’ve written too much about something I ostensibly don’t care about

Yeah it’s a stupid community title, you reckon the gossip one is better?

I reread the article, I reckon it’s about satellites in general deorbiting faster to avoid a Kessler syndrome scenario

Sean Elvidge at the University of Birmingham, UK, says this effect could benefit satellite operators like SpaceX by removing dead satellites from orbit more quickly that could otherwise pose a danger to other satellites. “It’s speeding up that process,” he says. However, it could limit our ability to operate satellites in orbits below 400 kilometres, known as very low Earth orbit. “It shows that could be challenging,” he says.

this is beneficial to SpaceX as it means the end of life satellites will re-enter faster, getting them out of the way for their replacements

They can deorbit them at any time though?

We did that before too.

Although the US is going pretty hard on trying to undo what weak protections already existed, and flint didn’t have clean water for at least a decade (to name the most notable example). remarkable country to have such a sustained decline in life expectancy

The longitudinal data doesn’t really suggest significant impacts (beyond mental health diagnosis, which is also contributed to by diagnostic creep and greater accessibility and acceptability)

Social media and the algorithm are awful but at least we’re not still covering everything in leaded gasoline residue
