I love Alex but he just didn’t get those plates dirty enough. For some things you just need to rinse beforehand.

U.S. aid has slowed to a trickle in 2025.

Is this different from the California law? Do you support that one?

Isn’t that how the proposed law was going to work?

Most satellites don’t rotate once they’re in stable orbit. They like to sit in the sunlight and point at the ground.

There are studies that just look at outdoor time. I don’t think we know the specific mechanism but we know enough to have recommendations.

There have been RCTs conducted for this. For example

Myopia Prevention and Outdoor Light Intensity in a School-Based Cluster Randomized Trial

Pei-Chang Wu et al. Ophthalmology. 2018 Aug.

In this study, schools were selected and promoted either outdoor or indoor recess

That depends entirely on how the correlation is determined. For example randomized control trials can establish causal inference.

They’ll use 1/1000th of an inch, a “thou”. But at that point it’s basically metric but worse.

tldr: It’s an 1884 translation by Alexander Pope.

I think you meant to respond a couple comments up the chain.

What does that have to do with orbits and reentry angle?

Low earth orbit is most survivable reentry trajectory… coming in at a higher angle significantly increases the heating.

I hope any statistics gathered from this data considers the 87 euro credit.

People talk about tanks and planes, but the shear number of trucks and jeeps the U.S. produced is astounding

And then the Chinese container ship shows up with more VLS cells than the Arleigh Burke has. Even scarier of you consider how many Chinese flagged container ships there are.

You can use your private army to gain currency and other assets by stealing them from other entities. Governments typically don’t like this but if you’re a big enough force they will negotiate.

Bulgarians always have a soft spot for Russia for helping them gain independence from the Ottomans.

Compared with ME though? I remember the first couple times I used ME it crashed. XP was at least always based on the NT Kernel and therefore had some basic stability.

Like when BG3 came out and other devs whined about being unable to deliver such a game? Maybe they shouldn’t be considered AAA studios if all they do is waste their budget.
