Turns out it’s no fun owning the libs, when there are no libs. 

Come on man. Starlink is extremely expensive and will continue to be extremely expensive for at least the next decade. It will always be much more expensive than cellular technology

I agree. It’s absurd to think observation from earth is going to yield much more information. We should be observing from off planet, like any respectable space person would be doing. Looking at data of unreachable stars and saying, “hmmm, how about that” isn’t going to help us get onto planets and other bodies so…

I’m with ‘Sue’ ... no system is going to get decent internet to the huge portion of the world that currently doesn’t have it.

Legs are heavy...now its lift capacity.

Somebody better be driving the Mystery Machine in this.

I’m old enough to remember first-hand the hype for Independence Day followed by the greasy reality of watching it in a theater.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Only reason I watched it was because I did one of those paid previews things for 30 bucks

You don’t want front row, trust me. I had to spend a couple hours looking up CGI Tarkin’s nose because friend waited until last second to agree to go, and both our necks hurt after. @_@

That seems to be the strategy. Very self-aware idiocy.

I need dumb revelry just about now to walk away from the dumpster fire that is 2022 ... so, yeah, 2 tubs of popcorn please!

Immunity is complicated, it’s not 100% known why some immunizations (like Measles) are life-long, other infections (like Tetanus) are several years, and some infections, (like Cold/Flu) are every 6-12 months.

Just low-hanging fruit!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We’re waaaay post-truth, folks...

I think the reason so many of us aren’t really talking about climate change is because we’re fucking tired and hopeless. We’ve reached the point the characters reach in the final act - we’ve talked, we’ve advocated, we’ve “raised awareness,” we’ve supported politicians we thought would do something, and we’ve realized…

That’s fair, I just felt it worth expanding on that not all NIPS are equal, some of them are just rules-list-based and don’t adapt, the best-in-class are actively learning your network. The benefit is that you get a lot less friction where you’re told to turn off things because they cause users inconvenience because…

It’s nice to see people evaluating a fluid situation and adjusting to it as it changes instead of feeling some bizarre need to never change their position once they have declared something.
